Colin said in a recent interview, "....that's one of the things we're going to change from now on. We're going to try to play concerts and then record between concerts and have it as a whole thing rather than two years playing concerts, two years recording, two years playing concerts. It's very uncreative. We want to try and have more music out more frequently." The band will return to the studio in August. Check out FMA's press section for more information.

This note was posted on the official Radiohead site today (regarding last night's cancelled show): "*Unfortunately this show had to be cancelled due to bad weather. This made staging the show unsafe* The show cannot be re-scheduled and refunds will be made from point of purchase. Please e-mail stuff@waste.uk.com if you purchased via the w.a.s.t.e ticket shop and we will sort it out from there....... :("

Colin and Jonny appeared on German Television VIVA2 yesterday on a show called "Fast Forward" (taped last week). Jonny compared "The Bends" to Star Wars and "OK Computer" to Empire Strikes Back. Then he said, "But that would mean the new album is the Phantom Menace, but that film was pants so we'll have to think of another film..". Colin said that if you like OK Computer, then you'll like the new album as well. Then they talked a bit about the jazz band and how recording for "Everyone - The National Anthem" was chaotic. Jonny said that he made a mess of conducting because he was useless at making eye contact with the players. Jonny worked on the strings for three months and played his viola to see what it would sound like before the whole orchestra played it.  [Thanks Beryl]

Yesterday Radio1 (national Italian radio) put on an interview, which actually took place in Milan last Monday, with Jonny Greenwood. It was mainly about the new album and the summer gigs. As revealed during the other interviews, Jonny said that the only thing left now is choosing a title for the new LP. [thanks Beryl]



06.07.2000                                                                                                                                              
Alright, more tour dates: Radiohead will be playing in Denmark on the 7th and 8th of September in their big tent outside Valbyhallen in Copenhagen. Tickets have already gone on sale for 300 Kr at www.billetnet.dk. Again, these dates haven't been confirmed by the band.

More info from the German interview with Colin and Jonny yesterday:
All that the new album is lacking is a title, which will be decided very shortly. The interviewer mentioned that Ed visited Einslive three years ago and said every album was a snapshot of the band. Jonny said that at the moment the "snapshot" was underexposed. The new album is a bit like OK Computer but they still like it. A few more questions & answers on Nigel Godrich, European Soccer Championship, etc.

According to the HUMO interview (Jonny & Colin), Colin commented that the band wants a short record with only 10/11 songs. As for a single, Jonny said, "We want the classic single-record-gig-order: first we play, then we bring out the record, and then we might talk about an eventual single." Colin also told the interviewer, "In September 2001 we want to have finished a new album with all new songs. Before that, everything we still have has to be brought out first."

An interview with Jonny and Colin took place at German radio station Einslive today at 8 pm GMT+1. The connection was pretty terrible so it was difficult to make out what was going on, but it looks like October will be the official release date for the album.

Last week on the 29th, Colin was interviewed at a Belgian radio station called "Radio 21". The 23-minute interview will air tomorrow during a program called "5 Heures". Details and quotes from this interview will be posted here in a few days.

An interview with Jonny and Colin is in the newest issue of Humo (Belgian mag). They commented on the tours and the new album. Colin said that ProTools was used to create a song with Thom singing backwards. Please email me if anyone has more details.

Stanley posted this at the official message board today:

"so we finished the artwork

[what happened to the last couple of years]

'Meeting People Is Easy' is being re-released throughout Europe on DVD next Monday.
