Radiohead: possible webcast

Radiohead website

"Now then. You might want to download Realplayer by 10pm on Wednesday the 18th of December 2002. We think it's a good idea. Unless of course you have something better to do. In which case fair enough. It's just a thought. Nothing may happen. Every day I wake up and wonder whether this is the day it will happen. Make some coffee, turn on the radio and wait. It hasn't happened yet. Happy Christmas. Thom."

It'd be slightly more impressive if all the songs hadn't already been played live.

Weird shit!

 

[Nighty-]

This is very very weird, yes
Then again you can't expect post-OK Computer radiohead not to be weird

It's not Radiohead though is it, It's a Thom Yorke DJ set (however new or old) with overlays of Radiohead propaganda. Some of it is pretty cool.

Connection fell after a while, turned it back on at 10 to one in time to catch an actual Radiohead track.

I recorded it, so will listen again tomorrow but I don't know what to make of it really. Was very much "lullaby piano" sort of style.

Finished with the band and Nigel Godrich round a Christmas Tree for true cheesy send off.

It was possibly the coolest, funniest thing done by a band, ever.
