Re Re Re Radiohead

Even though I haven't mentioned Radiohead since Monday, it doesn't mean they haven't been on my mind. Hells bells, I've been hanging out over at the atease boards about 75% of my time. I still haven't gotten my disc-box, but fingers crossed it'll come soon.

In the meantime I added all of the tracks from In Rainbows - from both discs! - to my Box Media Player over in the right-hand column there, so you can listen to it all if you feel so inclined whilst reading my sweet nothings. What a lark! I highly recommend "Jigsaw Falling Into Place" and "All I Need" and "Up On The Ladder" and... hell, all of 'em.

Also, Radiohead has news from their blog for those of you who care haven't bought the album yet:

"The End of The Beginning

Hello Everyone,

The download area that is “In Rainbows” will be shutting its doors on the 10th December 2007.

A big thank you to everyone who came and downloaded the music. It’s been the most positive thing we’ve done and we hope you shared the experience with others.

The discbox will still be available from the w.a.s.t.e store here until they have all gone. We then have no plans to make further stock.

For those of you who wish to buy In Rainbows in the usual way, it will be available on CD/Vinyl and download from traditional outlets from the 31st December 2007.

The record will be released by TBD Records in North America and XL Recordings for the rest of the world.

Thanks for everything."

Oh you're welcome, Thom & Co. Now just make it easy for me to get tickets to your goddamned tour this time around, okay? I'm gonna have a massive breakdown if I miss you again.

And finally, and perhaps of the most interest to the bulk of MNPP-readers: Jonny Greenwood's soundtrack for Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood? It leaked online today. Where might you find it, you ask? Hmm....

One of my oldest and dearest friends actually saw There Will Be Blood yesterday and, echoing the sentiments we've heard so far, said it's a modern masterpiece. Godammit why must I wait three more weeks???
