Radiohead Update

With all the information that flies around in this day and age with the Internet, magazines, TV, and every other kind of media out there, it's hard to keep up with all your favorite bands—and by favorite bands, we mean Radiohead. To combat this inundation of info, Muzjiks has collected all the latest goings-on with the Oxfordshire quintet and put it one place to make your lives easier:

• Thom Yorke's other band, at one point called Thom Yorke????, has been officially named "Atoms For Peace," and the band will embark on a brief tour next month that will culminate with a Coachella appearance.

• On February 25, Thom Yorke played a solo gig at the Green Party benefit at the Corn Exchange in Cambridge. In addition to rarities like "I Froze Up" and "True Love Waits," Thom graced concertgoers with three brand new songs. Titled "Give Up the Ghost," "The Daily Mail," and "Mouse Dog Bird," it remains to be seen whether these songs are Radiohead, Thom solo, or Atoms for Peace material. Also played at the gig was "Lotus Flower," a relatively new offering that was debuted last year by Thom but has since been confirmed as a Radiohead song. You can find videos of the three brand new songs below and even more videos of the concert here:

• Jonny Greenwood will return to film scoring as he writes music for Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Wood. Previously, Jonny has composed for There Will Be Blood and Bodysong, both of which were stellar scores.
• Despite some short-lived hysteria and excitement, a TinyMixtapes article that claimed to have discovered the tracklist and album name for LP8 was found to be a hoax.

Until next time, keep your vinyl copies of OK Computer close, and say a few prayers. Who knows, maybe we'll wake up to a new Radiohead album one morning. After the revolutionary In Rainbows distribution, nothing is too far-fetched for Thom and the gang.
