My thoughts on this first are…dammit…for not living in LA. i was a big fan of Eraser and have always wanted to see it played live. He did a great live version on the Henry Rollins show when it first came out (video below). My next thought was that it’s interesting to see he’s doing these dates in LA. This is the guy who made a big deal about limiting his carbon foot print for radiohead’s last tour, and now he’s traveling across the ocean and US to play two shows? This leads me to think there’s more shows to come stateside. Here’s hoping its true.

Last week there was word that a new song, titled, “These Are My Twisted Words” from Radiohead that was leaked…que mass hysteria.  Well this morning the band officially confirmed that it is indeed them, and offered it up for free.

(via deadairspace):

So here’s a new song, called ‘These Are My Twisted Words’.

We’ve been recording for a while, and this was one of the first we finished.
We’re pretty proud of it.

There’s other stuff in various states of completion, but this is one we’ve been practicing, and which we’ll probably play at this summer’s concerts. Hope you like it.

SPIN has some really great pics of Radiohead playing in Sao Paul on March 30th with Kraftwerk.  It’s really great looking at these pics while I sit here at a desk in front of a computer screen on a very gray Baltimore day. FML
