I'm thinking of suing he's nicked all my old moves from the late 80's, though I've moved on since then and my dancing is even more abstract.

That'll be today then! This video's just turned up on their Twitter feed. Caution: may contain Thom Yorke dancing...

No bad!  Radiohead found their sound in the 1990s and have not really moved on from there since. I will get this I think but I don't expect anything ground breaking.



I was hoping for high def (because I can play it) but wav will do.



Where could they have gone musically?  Jazz maybe, hiphop fusion like gorillaz, use broken instruments like PJ Harvey. May classical or baroque, that might be the next project hey, although it might be best to do that under another name- keep the Radiohead brand for this type of thing.



I wonder how the other band members feel about this stuff. It's very much a "written in you bedroom on a computer" track.  I think I would have developed it a bit further but I am just a punter (music fan)

I'll not be buying the album, on the evidence of that track.

Yeah, it sounds more like a follow-up to "The Eraser" than an actual Radiohead album. Not hearing a lot of input from Jonny. Still, I'm enjoying it very much. It will take a few listens. As good as In Rainbows? Can't say yet. 

I am amazed that the release of an album creates so much "buzz". It seems a lot of people find them interesting, even if not universally admired.
