We swear we'd stop writing about them if they'd stop doing stuff. But our dear Radioheads haven't quit, and so we'll dutifully report on the stuff—or things—they're doing. To that end, we bring you the fourth edition of the (admittedly no longer weekly) Paste Radiohead Roundup! Get excited!
Radiohead embarks upon world tour:
And they play Atlanta tomorrow night! (Squee!) Ahem... The seasoned amphitheater-hopping band opened its string of 48 dates Monday night in West Palm Beach, Fla. Fansite AtEaseWeb.com live blogs every show, if you're so into Radiohead (admit it, you are!) that you want to know how the set differs from night to night. They'll stay on the proverbial road until October, when the band plans on reentering the studio, guitarist Ed O'Brien told the BBC's Newsbeat.
Fan remixes of "Nude" complete:
After a month of uploads, submissions are no longer being accepted and 2253 remixes were posted at RadioheadRemix.com. The current top three in the voting were made by Spor, Lost Memories and Holy Fuck, but the polls don't close until June 1. The band promises to listen personally to the best of them.
In Rainbows animated video contest reaches semi-finals:
By way of providing fans one more opportunity to have Radiohead experience their artistic product about Radiohead's artistic product, the aniBoom.com competition we told you about is one step away from reaching Radiohead-judging level. From more than 60 videos, 10 emerged as semi-finalists this week, exploring seven of the songs from In Rainbows. Each semi-finalist now gets $1,000 to make a one-minute animation that will be watched and voted upon June 9, after which the finalists will advance to a June 23 judging. The grand winner will be announced June 30. You can watch all of the semi-finalists' videos here. This one's by Videogruppe of the song "Reckoner," and features a big red felt guy:
Well folks, that about wraps it up for this edition of the Radiohead Roundup. Stay tuned for more (because with these guys, we're sure there will be more).
