In Rainbows 2

Here's the latest update on the explosive media response to Radiohead's forthcoming new album. CNN has reported on the inventiveness of the release technique; this is nothing new, just good to see the arousal of interest. American podcast, SoundOpinions, broadcasts a piece on the revolution; a previously unheard interview with Thom Yorke is included on here too. This thread on the AtEase messageboard is strangely concise and provides transcripts for all the news articles circulating in the moment's papers (what fan other than a Radiohead fan would type up every Radiohead article they find?). Word has it that the LA Times published its Radiohead article on the front page. BBC Radio 4 had an intelligent conversation with Radiohead's management and posted there interview here. It's also worth pointing out that Radiohead are going to sign a conventional record deal and have the album in shops for January. Billboard has the latest, up-to-date info on the contract proceedings. Beyond all of the above, keep checking back with Atease - they'll sort you out the goss.
