Colin appeared on the news analysis program tonight, Newsnight, talking about the Napster case. He cited the recordings of their recent concerts as a good thing, as people at the end of the tour already recognised and knew the words to their latest songs, and also mentioned the webcasts.

From Sonicnet: "One of dance music's legends, Englishman Paul Oakenfold,

and one of its rising stars, Los Angeles' Sandra Collins, ripped though

high-voltage sets on the turntables for several thousand thrill-seeking

dancers at Manhattan's Roseland Ballroom Thursday night.

The highest - and most telling - point in Oakenfold's set came as the

diminutive but dapper Brit dropped an intense, pounding remix of

Radiohead's "Street Spirit" into the mix, which in its original form is

one of the band's softest and sparsest songs. The move worked the crowd

into a wild frenzy. So much for Thom Yorke's introspection; they were in

the hands of a DJ tonight." [Thanks Beryl]
