Two news stories, one day. Only for Radiohead.
The band - presently on tour in the UK; read our review of their first night at London's Victoria Park here - have made a special live album available via iTunes.
In Rainbows - From The Basement features, as the title suggests, ten tracks from their latest LP (readers review). It was recorded, funnily enough, in a basement, at The Hospital in Covent Garden. The man with his finger on record: Nigel Godrich.

MORE RADIOHEAD
Hmm. They should have put DITNU on that album
Initially I read that as
The band read our review of their first night at Victoria Park. Maybe that's why they changed the setlist...
Radiohead should
put on the biggest gig of all time, perhaps in the middle of the desert, charge £250 per ticket, no support acts, 1 food stall selling foie gras on Ryvita and a thimble of warm, sandy water at £25 a pop, keep the audience waiting until 2 in the morning before flying in by helicopter, play 'Pop Is Dead', then jump back in the helicopter, taking just enough time hovering over the audience to create a mini-sandstorm before buggering off again. And then get the security guards to cover everyone in jam, release the flesh-eating ants and cut the lights.
Something to do, innit?
just so as you know
it's a video album not just an audio recording. You can watch Thom Drum on your ipod. Which has been an ambition of mine for as long as I can remember.
