I met Thom Yorke once… well… kinda…
About 1000 years ago at the good ol’ Warners Hotel in Christchurch …sticky carpets and all… I mean REALLY sticky!, leaning against the bar, as one was prone to do, and left-in-charge to distract my friend’s friend who was trying to keep herself off the smack or crack or H or something… and through my own G&T haze spied an elfin blonde man approaching the bar to order himself a drink… coooaaar… there was clearly something special standing right beside me all of a sudden. Typically Kiwi shy, I couldn’t possibly utter anything…. and drink in hand, off he wandered …
Then I was told he was the lead singer of the band we were about to watch…
“Probably a dick then” I thought to myself…
Nope. Not a dick. Just pretty bloody special….
Radiohead – Lotus Flower
Radiohead have brought forward the digital release of their new album “The King Of Limbs” by 24 hours with the album now being sent to those who pre-ordered it earlier this week. It is also available for new orders through www.radiohead.com <http://www.radiohead.com> at a fixed price of £6. A special edition is also available.
With everything ready on their website, the band decided to bring forward the release by a day rather than wait until the planned date of Saturday, Feb 19 to deliver the music.
Orders for the download or the special edition, which is packaged in Radiohead’s version of a newspaper, can still be placed at radiohead.com
XL Recordings will be releasing the album on CD and vinyl on March 28.
We may mention this 1 or 2 more times before then….
