Quote:Radiohead Announce New Album – 'In Rainbows'
by Daniel Zugna - October 1 2007


Radiohead's seventh album will be called 'In Rainbows', and will be available for download on the band's official website from October 10.


Not long after an unofficial new album website was revealed as a hoax, the band's radiohead.com space was updated with release information about the new album.

The band are asking fans how much they'd like to pay for the file download, with the price field left blank alongside a disclaimer "it's up to you".

The album can also be purchased as a £40 made-to order discbox, which according to the site "consists of the new album, in rainbows, on CD and on 2 x 12 inch heavyweight vinyl records. A second, enhanced CD contains more new songs, along with digital photographs and artwork. The discbox also includes artwork and lyric booklets. All are encased in a hardback book and slipcase."


The tracklisting for 'In Rainbows' is as follows:

15 Step
Bodysnatchers
Nude
Weird Fishes / Arpeggi
All I Need
Faust Arp
Reckoner
House Of Cards
Jigsaw Falling Into Place
Videotape



christmas just came two months early this year. OMG YES!

sorry for posting this here but i just got back from the show and there is no köln (you can tell i am in germany because i can write ööös and äääääs and i keep mixing up mz yyys and zzzzs) topic in the show review section... please someone move this when zou get a chance.

cool show, good set, crazy venue.

the place reminded me a lot of the horseshoe in toronto but was actually a bit smaller i think. tiny stage.

i cant remember the set exactly but it went something like...

ocean
new o
escape (made up for scratching it from the encore in brussels... wicked)
in view

(out of order from here for sure)

music at work
abac
bobc
nautical (not the biggest fan of bobcaygeon live but it just belongs before ND)
courage
luv sic (havent heard that in europe yet)
family band
hundredth meridian
pretend
little bones

encore:
rink
fireworks (thugs was written on the set between the two... they didnt play it... but hopefully tomorrow)

(feel like im missing a few, the other guys will fill in the gaps)

all around great show, memorable venue.

as one of a handful of hipbasers over here i havent been posting much but ill try to make up for it when the tours over.

its late here now, and im awfully sick, gotta go to sleep... i hope theres not a weird spanish girl sleeping in my hostel bed again when i get there.

good night.

"It was the wrong decision, and I think anybody that knows anything about the game knows that. ....There's no doubt in my mind I would have made those saves. ... You have to live in the present. And you can't live by big names. You can't live in the past."

-- U.S. Women's Soccer Team goalkeeper Hope Solo

Confusedhock:

I don't think I've ever heard an athlete throw a coach and fellow teammate under the bus like this before, in any sport, at any level.

Wow.

In case you don't know the backstory here, U.S. head coach Greg Ryan benched Solo in favor of Briana Scurry vs. Brazil in World Cup play, and Brazil proceeded to score 4 goals (U.S. got shut out, which makes her comments thant much more shocking).

I'm sure most people have already seen this episode but the hip will be on Corner Gas again. Superstation WGN, a nation wide cable station in the U.S. will be showing the episode tonight at 12am EST It's the episode where Brent kicks the the hip out of his garage so his band can practice. Myself have never seen the episode so i will be tuning in to watch it. Just thought it was funny to see the hip on a commerical in the U.S. Thanks

New book due out in October. Any guesses which/how many Hip albums make the "cut?" Any rants about why these damn lists don't matter anyway?

The Tragically Hip Prove Energy Matters

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.theagitator.net/index.php?/archives/818-The-Tragically-Hip-Prove-Energy-Matters.html">http://www.theagitator.net/index.php?/a ... tters.html</a><!-- m -->


Last night, while the billion+ BBC audience (compare that to CNN's 18 million+) heard and saw the headline news of the 10th day of protests in Burma, I decided to check out of real life and and go to a rock concert.

So it was off to a performance in Amsterdam by The Tragically Hip, a Canadian rock group that packs tens of thousands into that country's stadiums and tonight put an impressive 1000+ in Amsterdam's Paradiso, one of the great and original international venues of The Rolling Stones, Dylan, and the other big '70s and '80s artists.

Paradiso was packed as Gord Downie, The Hip's lead singer, dripping sweat onto the front row, mesmerized the largely international audience with a bunch of songs about places which those caught in rapt attention by his performance would never even begin to undrestand. Like his song, “Bobcaygeon”, referring to the lakes-laden, cottage country spot east of Toronto. My guess is that not 1 out of 80 in the audience even recognized Bobcaygeon as a geographical location.

Nonetheless the audience went wild. Why? Because of the energy.

Now, believe me, I’m not a frequenter of rock performances. My American/Canadian partner Janice and her best friend MK dragged me to see “The Hip”, as they’re known by their thousands and thousands of Canadian fans. And, of course, I could go on and on about the quaintness of Canada; the fact that it has a population smaller than the Netherlands, etc., etc., not to mention their essential decency and charming naivete.

But the fact that not only did The Tragically Hip electrify the 85 or so flag-waving Canadians in the audience, it extended its brand beyond the Maple Leaf banner to capture the interest of the 700+ other Dutch, English, French and German folks in Amsterdam audience tonight.

Why? Energy. Pure and simple.

The songs were relevant. The performance superb and especially energetic. Contact with the audience was direct and moving.

It was a charged evening, and got me to thinking how important energy, and being in front of and relevant to your audience is. Not only for rock groups, but also for nonprofits.

Hey! These guys in The Tragically Hip (which by the way contributes significantly to Canadian and international causes) know how to work and involve an audience. Both live and on their website.

So... pleased with the concert, and grateful for the break I went home and back to worrying about Burma.

To see the surprise I found out at home continue below...



Once home, I went to the BBC website and got an update. (Not good. The military regime about to crush the protesters.)

Next, I turned to the human rights websites to see if there was anything I could do about it. I clicked on Amnesty International … then Amnesty U.S … then Amnesty Canada ... and, what the hell, Amnesty UK and Human Rights Watch, to boot.

Nothing. [Well, that’s not entirely correct. Amnesty USA did have a small news piece on Myanmar (the media and most of the rest of the world still refers to it as "Burma") posted on August 31.]

Maybe I’m missing something. But aren’t human rights crises supposedly a font of energy and interest for those of us in their audience who care?

Maybe. But judging from the absence of any current information, the policy-deciders and webmasters are still not sure.

But ... fear not. While Burma may be missing in action, you can buy 1970s music on the Amnesty websites.

And hour by hour, the tension in Burma builds. The threat of arrest, torture and mass slayings increases.

Seems to me that it's about time that not only our comrades in the human rights sector, but other good cause sectors as well, learn something about live, real time energy, relevance and connecting to their audiences with immediacy.

Meanwhile, thank you Tragically Hip. Rock 'n Roll.

Roger
