The Eraser

from Thom Yorke

this is just a note to say that something has been kicking around in the background that i have not told you about.
its called The Eraser.
nigel produced & arranged it .
i wrote and played it.
the elements have been kicking round now for a few years and needed to be finished & i have been itching to do something like this for ages.
it was fun and quick to do.
inevitably it is more beats & electronics.
but its songs.
stanley did the cover.
yes its a record!
no its not a radiohead record.
as you know the band are now touring and writing new stuff and getting to a good space so i want no crap about me being a traitor or whatever splitting up blah blah...
this was all done with their blessing. and i don't wanna hear that word solo. doesnt sound right.
ok then thats that.
i think its out in july and im pretty certain XL are going to put it out.
love thom

My Favorite of the New Radiohead Songs: 15 Step

"Radiohead in Copenhagen "

Great new song...comes with Thom's patented leprachaun dance FREE!

We Are Scientists cover Sigur Ros

Wow...never thought anyone would try to cover Sigur Ros. YANP has the proof that it can be done...

You Aint No Picasso: "We Are Scientists performed on BBC 1 yesterday and rocked the house as usual. But the unusual bit is that they did it by foregoing their normal electric onslaught. Our boys did a completely reworked version of their hit “Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt” and threw in a Sigur Ros cover to boot."

Waste Tickets

Thanks to a little computer ingenuity, a lack of a need for sleep, and 2 credit cards I am now the VERY happy owner of 4 tix to both the first and second Radiohead shows in LA, 4 tix to the first Radiohead show in SD and 2 tickets to the second night of Radiohead in Berkeley. Went to sleep 2 hours ago with my computer running a program called WebMon...basically refreshed the ticket page until it changed (and tix went onsale) at which time it played an alarm (in my case, Journey's 'Don't Stop Believing'). Ain't nothing like a lil' Steve Perry to get you out of bed. Woohoo!!
