Radiohead's Recent Exposure

You may have come across Radiohead's New Year's Eve webcast, Scoth_Mist. If you haven't already, their YouTube page lies here, with all the visual and audio mastery brought together on one self-maintained webpage. Amidst other artistic pieces such as Stanley Donwood's short stories, the band played through their latest album, In Rainbows, with utter finesse. Incredibly, just five days ago they announced another play through of In Rainbows at the Rough Trade record store in London. Needless to say, Radiohead naively estimated the amount of people who would turn up at short notice, and the police made them move the gig up the road to 93 Feet East. One hundred and fifty people, from well over a thousand, were let into the store. In recent Radiohead style, they broadcast the show online at radiohead.tv - recordings available all over the fan site. All those who read this blog should be converts by now, so your mouths are well and truly drooling. But before you go, listen to the recording from Thursday when Radiohead took over Radio 1 from Zane Lowe. I hope he was taking notes, as Ed and Thom played a superb mixture of contemporary alternative music. All for your pleasure.
