Here's a new track called Staircase, taken from our upcoming 'From The Basement' session:
And no, you're not seeing double. The doppelganger drummers are myself and Clive Deamer. Clive has long been one of my favourite drummers and so I was really excited when he agreed to perform with us. Hope you like what we've all done.

Tuesday 03 May 201. BBC Worldwide Press Releases
BBC Worldwide takes exclusive Radiohead performance to the world
Date: 03.05.2011
BBC Worldwide Music Television has signed a deal with Radiohead to distribute internationally a new and exclusive live performance of Radiohead’s eighth album, ‘The King of Limbs’.
Radiohead – The King of Limbs: Live From The Basement is a 55-minute performance from one of the most successful and critically acclaimed acts of their generation, who have sold over 30 million albums worldwide. The programme will feature the notoriously elusive band performing the entirety of their celebrated new album in a studio setting with some additional behind the scenes material. It is scheduled to be the first time that the grammy-award winners are captured on camera this year.
The King of Limbs album was released digitally in February 2011 and physically at the end of March 2011, yet this exclusive performance will be the first time the band will have played this collection of songs in public. The band will be performing for acclaimed music show ‘From the Basement’, the brain child of production genius Nigel Godrich, who has either engineered or produced all of Radiohead’s albums since The Bends and has worked with a variety of international acts including Paul McCartney, U2, R.E.M and Air.
Having launched the title at MIPTV, BBC Worldwide has already received pre-sale offers for a number of major territories and expects to have a substantial network of broadcasters in place for its premiere.
Salim Mukaddam, VP Music Television at BBC Worldwide said, "It is a real honour to be working with Radiohead on this project. Radiohead are a band that rarely performs for television, but when they do, it’s a moment to savour. There is already huge anticipation for this performance and we’re delighted that they’ve decided to work with us at BBC Worldwide, confirming our position as market leaders in Music Television. As a fan I cannot wait to see these beautiful songs brought to life in this programme."
Bryce Edge of Courtyard Management, Radiohead’s management company said, "This will be Radiohead's first collaboration with BBC Worldwide and the band are excited at the prospect of having their first live performance of 'The King of Limbs' broadcast around the world . The band will be filmed and recorded by the From The Basement team, which includes Nigel Godrich their long time producer, Dilly Gent ,who commissioned many of the memorable Radiohead videos and Grant Gee who filmed the Radiohead documentary 'Meeting People is Easy'"
Radiohead – The King of Limbs: Live from the Basement becomes available to international broadcasters in June and is embargoed for broadcast until 1st July 2011. The programme is filmed in HD, will have no audience and no presenter – just a rare opportunity to see an intimate performance from one of the greatest bands in the world.

Take Cover: Radiohead: The King of Limbs
Notable record covers help to define artists. With Take Cover, we aim to track down the most striking artwork and get the stories behind them.
When Radiohead announced that their new album, The King of Limbs, would be released in a "newspaper" version, it left people with lots of questions. Like: What the hell is a "newspaper album," anyway? Photos of the deluxe set started rolling in last week, and Jon Severs of PrintWeek sat down with the band's longtime artist Stanley Donwood to talk about the ideas behind the unusual packaging. The interview and scans from the King of Limbs art are below:
Jon Severs: Was this newspaper concept driven by the music?
Stanley Donwood: [laughs] I haven't heard the album yet-- not properly, not finished, not since it was being made. I'm waiting for the record company to send me a 12" version! But when I was listening to it being made-- because I work alongside the band when they are making the music-- I loved hearing it emerge. I was hearing these shufflings and bangings becoming this sonic space that you can almost walk into. As I listened, I had this vision of these old churches where you had these huge ceilings of overarching, intertwined colors, and this led me to painting all these colored trees.
JS: So the newspaper album concept is something that the band inspired?
SD: The whole idea of this album was to have something that was almost not existing, so we chose clear vinyl and the newspaper format. [In Rainbows] was this big, heavy, substantial thing-- if you were determined, you could have killed someone with it! It was very much a definitive statement, and that isn't where the band are at the moment. Where they are now is more transitory. When a newspaper comes out, that doesn't mean news stops, what you have is just a snapshot of how things were at the moment that newspaper was printed. And similarly, this album shows where Radiohead are at the moment the record was released. The music is a continuing thing. And we wanted to make the album representative of that.
I also really love newspapers. They are disposable. They are recyclable. They fall apart so easily. They are not like iPads or Kindles that can't be disposed of and end up on some third-world shore. And I love the heritage of them, the whole history of mass communication. Newspapers changed the world from being a really class based, feudal system to people being able to cheaply get information that informed them.
JS: Is the issue of disposability an important one with this project?
SD: There were two things to do with the newspaper. Firstly, I had left one out in the sun and it started to go yellow around the edges and fall apart. And I thought that was so nice because that is what happens to us as we get older. The other thing was that someone had left a big pile of old International Times and Oz magazines from the late 1960s at Colin [Greenwood's] place in the country. They were really cheaply printed and produced in a hurry and were decaying and had lost their corners, but they had become this archive that didn't exist on the Internet. And since they're not posh enough to be in the British Museum or elsewhere, they acquired a value because of their disposability.
JS: Is there a message in that?
SD: The whole thing with this is, if you look after it, like most things, they will last. If you don't, then they will disappear very quickly.
JS: Is the old look of the newspaper deliberate?
SD: We took the fonts from 1930s depression-era U.S. newspapers that had been collated by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society of America. So all the fonts are from the last big depression. They call it the "credit crunch" now, back then they called it a "depression" because they didn't like the connotations of a slump. It's all this use of euphemistic language.
JS: Putting out this elaborate packaging for an album in this era is quite a statement in itself.
SD: Music packaging used to be quite a simple thing. Before, the way the music was produced determined the packaging, be it vinyl, tape, or CD. But, with digital, that's irrelevant. So now you could just make a whole load of art and sell it with the digital files. In that sense it's freed us up.
When I first started doing record covers, it was for CDs and I hated them for how little they are. They're so fucking horrible. That's one of the reasons the [King of Limbs] CD is in a dreadful one-color reverse board (below). If we could have made it any worse we would have done.
JS: Do you think digital music robs you of something then?
SD: I guess it robs you of the context of the music, though that wasn't in my thinking at the time. The packaging for music has now become a sort of King James Bible, where it elevates the contents to something more spiritual. This is something else that drove me to a newspaper format. I thought, "Let's put it in a newspaper, to get away from that spiritual thing." You don't want to elevate music to something it isn't. Music is something you hear in your head, that's all, we shouldn't give it more than it is.
JS: Speaking of which, there's one bit of artwork, a piece made up of more than a hundred tiny squares of art printed on blotting paper, should we read into this one?
SD: Ah! I wonder what people will make of it. There is a guy who recently died, Augustus Owsley Stanley III, who was one of the most famous creators of LSD in history, a very wealthy American. He set up a laboratory making very cheap, pure, good LSD. In theory, someone could dip them in something, they could do that. I don't think that's been done as a marketing ploy before-- not that I am encouraging such activities.

I want to spread the word about a book that I read almost exactly a year ago, which I think some of you will adore/recognise/need. It’s a book called ‘Wild’ and it’s written by Jay Griffiths and it is an astonishing piece of writing and it was exactly what I needed to read….
I was not in the greatest of places .. I was feeling low, getting increasingly disturbed and frustrated by the state of pretty much everything in the 21st century, which, can be simply summarised as the inability of the vast majority of our business and political leaders to truly look after the welfare of the vast majority of this planet’s citizens and the earth that we all live on….Nothing new then?! …..Well… this book was truly medicinal and like all great music, it helped to lift me up and pull me out of this low level depression… Reading it, felt like one of those amazing moments in life where one feels an overwhelming sense of relief and amazement that someone could actually be writing about the very things that seemed to be affecting oneself ….. It makes you feel less alone….And it does this in such a beautiful, passionate and raw way ….
If you got a copy of ‘The Universal Sigh’, you will notice that Jay Griffiths contributed a piece to it …. I don’t normally recommend books on DAS, but seeing as I’ve given away probably 20 or so copies of it to friends and family, I thought some of you should know about this … Good luck …

The newspaper features essays and short stories on the theme of wildness. We chatted to Jay Griffiths, author of 'Forests Of The Mind' (from the newspaper), as well as 'Wild: An Elemental Journey'
Who approached you to be involved in The Universal Sigh?
"I got approached to be involved in because various people in Radiohead had read Wild: An Elemental Journey."
Had you any previous involvement with the band?
"I met Ed O’Brien through KT Tunstall after he’d read my book. I know he really liked it and he’d asked me to write a piece for the paper."
Did they give you a brief?
"No they didn’t and that was really lovely. All they said was that it was going to be a free newspaper given out internationally about woods, trees and forests. That really was about it, which was fantastic because that meant we could take it wherever we wanted to."
That’s quite general - did you feel overwhelmed?
"Well no actually, because I’ve written loads about The Amazon, the forests in West Papua and the importance of trees and woodlands in general and so it wasn’t an unfamiliar topic to me."
What did you think of the band’s mode of distribution for The Universal Sigh?
"Human beings have always had strong relationships with nature and forests, and to take that right into the heart of the city like Radiohead have done is tremendous. They dropped off the paper in big urban cities and that was like bringing the forests into the heart of the city. To me these things matter, partly because of the physical deforestation. But also in places like West Papua and The Amazon, you are deforesting the human mind. You are robbing people of their history, their culture, their myth."
Thom Yorke gives away free Radiohead newspaper - photo blog
In your piece you make the link between the spirit of the forest and your re-finding your spirit. How do you mean?
"I would say that wherever there are trees, people can find healing. That’s why if you have children, if you have half a chance you want to get them near forests. A friends of mine’s child lives in the centre of the city but has a particular relationship to a tree, it means an awful lot to him. I know other adults who would see trees being cut down and they would cry. It’s a very well rooted - excuse the pun - love."
How about you?
"I had a reading tree when I was a kid, I used to climb it and read."
How did your interest develop?
"I don’t know how to answer that. Partly with my book Wild: An Elemental Journey, it began with the terrible depression I wrote about in the newspaper. Nature is absolutely essential to the human condition."
If you had to sum up your philosophy in one line what would it be?
"Trees are friends to humanity."
In the paper there’s lots of references to the historical, mythological role of trees.
"Yes, it's also interesting to note things like the language of trees, that the word ‘tree’, ‘truth’ and ‘trust’ are related. I mean, that’s beautiful isn’t it? Because it’s like, here’s something that’s so solid that you can trust, like a tree. There’s nothing complex about that. It’s simple and profound one go."
Radiohead's 'The Universal Sigh' - what does it all mean?
What do you think of a band like Radiohead bringing these things into popular culture?
"I think it’s magnificent. And what they’re doing has such intelligence and awareness. Such thoughtfulness and deep down such kindness. The quality of kindness is not something that modernity likes that much, but it’s one of the most important qualities in the world. Very deep down that’s what they're thinking and that’s what their music represents."

The King of Limbs Newspaper Album by Stanley Donwood
Supercollider and The Butcher
You may have heard that tomorrow we will be releasing two tracks, Supercollider and The Butcher on 12" vinyl through participating stores for Record Store Day.
This vinyl will also available in the USA & Canada on the 14th June.
Unfortunately, due to err…unforeseen circumstances that we didn't foresee, some of the vinyl have the labels on the wrong way around. It is too late to recall the vinyl and stick them on the right way round, so here is a copy of the labels for those of you who wish to download, print, cut out and stick on yourself with pritt stick (other glues are available) thus correcting the error. Or we could just rename the songs.
Apologies for any confusion caused and have a happyRecord Store Day.

THE UNIVERSAL SIGH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thom is handing out The Universal Sigh in London
Stanley Donwood On Radiohead's 'The Universal Sigh' Newspaper
The Universal Sigh Photo Album added by Tam
Stanley Donwood has designed all of Radiohead's artwork. Here he explains the thinking behind the free newspaper, 'The Universal Sigh', copies of which were handed out last week
On March 28th and 29th 2011, thousands and thousands of copies of a publication entitled The Universal Sigh were handed out in many major cities around the world. Many people might now be wondering why this happened.
Well me, I got back from London, from Brick Lane, where I and a fellow-conspirator handed out about three thousand free copies of The Universal Sigh outside a record shop called Rough Trade East.
This was the culmination of an idea that had its germination in a seething mass of humanity that I’d been embroiled in at the top of the steps down to Oxford Circus tube station, where amongst the heaving throng of commuters were valiant distributors of London Lite and Metro and the Standard, attempting to hand them out.
The newspaper thing began some months previously, in the summer. I’d left a newspaper on a bench in the sun, and when I returned to get it a few hours later it had already begun its inevitable decay; the paper had rippled slightly, the whiteness was yellowing, and it was feeling more brittle and delicate than it had before. I thought that this constituted a wonderful medium.
There’s nothing archival about a newspaper. It doesn’t pretend to be definitive; just because a newspaper comes out we don’t expect news to stop, or sport to finish. A newspaper is just a simple statement, an account of how things were at the time of writing. Newspapers aren’t even preserved. The vast bulk of them are recycled and turned into more newspapers.
The last packaging that I’d produced for a record was the hefty chunk of cardboard and paper that accompanied ‘In Rainbows’, but something of that kind was entirely inappropriate for this new record, which was very much more a state-of-play document.
After a lengthy concatenation of ideas, the usual meetings, conversations, work, doubt, worry and fear of the unknown, we had produced a large-format 36-page full colour newspaper which was to be presented, along with various other articles with the record ‘The King of Limbs’.
Afterwards, in response to the idea that began in a crush of commuters at Oxford Circus, we made another one. The Universal Sigh was a 12-page tabloid, printed using web-offset lithography on newsprint paper, just like the LA Weekly or London Lite or The Daily Mail. It may have been printed using the same machines that produce these newspapers.
The newspaper can of course be seen as a relic of the past, a dying format that has no place in the modern world where digital content interfaces seamlessly with an ever burgeoning plethora of shiny devices; portable tablet computers and e-readers, laptops, netbooks and smartphones.
But it is also a tactile pleasure, a finger-inking, page-flapping, paper rustling codex of information that won’t crash or corrupt. It won’t become useless without electricity. It won’t end up on the shores of somewhere far away, its innards picked at by underpaid children. But it will, with time, slowly crinkle, yellow, fade and crumble; much as we will.

Colin Greenwood reviews the Guardian writers’ Creep
When Radiohead announced they’d be releasing a newspaper, some writers at the Guardian decided to take action. In their own words, “If a band could wade so recklessly into the Guardian’s area of expertise, could we not wade into theirs?” With tongue firmly in cheek, the Guardian dutifully knocked out a cover of Creep. With a banjo!
You can listen to the Guardian cover Creephere.
Radiohead’s response came courtesy of Colin Greenwood who wrote a column in the Guardian today reviewing the Creep cover. Colin should be writing lyrics because he is great with words: “Having heard quite a few covers of Creep by artists such as Chrissie Hynde and Roland Orzabal, this is definitively one of them. I thought the Radio Eds dispatched it with pitiless ease.”
OK Colin, now get back to perfecting Bloom’s bassline for future performances.

Hey guys, the Radiohead Record Store Day piece that Pitchfork and others are talking about today is a UK-ONLY release. Took us by surprise too, those sneaky Radiohead fellas!
As announced Today, Radiohead will be releasing a two track 12″ vinyl on the worldwide Record Store Day. The two tracks are The Butcher and Supercollider. The latter has been played before by Radiohead on their previous live shows. Record Store Day is on April 16 and there are rumours of a limited edition of 2,000 copies. This number is most likely for one territory only. So the total number of copies are expected to be much higher. According to retailer Rise Bristol Ltd, who issued the info, the UK price is expected to be £10.

Aparentemente, Radiohead estaría participando del Record Store Day — como ya lo hiciera hace unos años — esta vez con un vinilo 12” exclusivo, que contiene los temas Supercollider y The Butcher.

THE KIND OF LIMBS ARTWORK Thanks atease
Vinil Record expect the same front and back as the cd. The actual record is housed in an inner sleeve with a drawing (like the right page on the cd edition) on one side, and the drawings and credits on the other side. Inside the sleeve you’ll find a card with a download code to obtain the digital edition of The King Of Limbs.
Expect the same edition of the CD and Vinyl in all territories as all labels (XL Recordings, TBD Records, Hostess Entertainment) have their logo’s on the back. There’s one other logo, which is Ticker Tape Ltd. It looks like this is the name of the band’s own label and publisher.
And last, but not least, the credits: The music and sounds of The King Of Limbs were conjured up by Radiohead and Nigel Godrich. The imagery was summoned up by Zachariah Wildwood and Donald Twain. Engineered and mixed by Nigel Godrich. Additional engineering by Drew Brown. Additional assistance by Darrell Thorp and Bryan Cooke. Flugelhorn on Bloom and Codex performed by Noel Langley and Yazz Ahmed. Strings on Codex performed by The London Telefilmonic Orchestra, led by Levine Andrale and conducted by Robert Ziegler. Mastered by Robert C. Ludwig at Gateway Mastering & DVD. Also thanks to Peter Yozell, and Neil Whitcher. Studio equipment etc., kept going by Plank. Ourselves kept going by Kat and Tim. And our office! A big thank you very much indeed to Drew Barrymore. This one’s for new Henry, Zohar and all our little ones. Hello Guys
As you’ve noticed no recording location has been given, but thanking Drew Barrymore might confirm the earlier rumours that the album was indeed recorded at Barrymore’s house. Zachariah Wildwood and Donald Twain are credited for the artwork, who are obviously the new alter egos of Stanley Donwood and Thom Yorke.

Open your mouth wide
Universal sighs
And while the ocean blooms
It’s what keeps me alive
So I lose and start over
Don’t blow your mind with why
I’m moving out of orbit
Turning in sour salt
Turning in sour salt
I dive into those eyes
I dive into those eye
Timid fish go by

You got some nerve
Coming here
You got some nerve
Coming here
You stole it all
Give it back
You stole it all

Goodmorning, Mr Magpie
How are we today?
Now you’ve stolen all the magic
Took my melody
You know you should
But you don’t
You know you should
But you don’t
Goodmorning, Mr Magpie
How are we today?
Now you’ve stolen all the magic
Took my melody

Turn to nasty now

The last one out of the box
The one who broke this spell
Little by little by hook or by crook
I’m such a tease
And you’re such a flirt
Once you’ve been hurt
You’ve been around enough
Little by little by hook or by crook
Never get nervous
Never get judged
I’m no idiot
I should look
Your clue on hold, snapped up
Crawling with my love
The last one out of the box
The one that broke the seal

Do what you want

I will sink and I will disappear
I will slip into the groove
you cut me up, you cut me up
There’s an empty space inside my heart
Where the weeds take root
And now I’ll set you free
I’ll set you free
There’s an empty space inside my heart
Where the weeds take root
Tonight I’ll set you free
I’ll set you free
Slowly we unfurl
As lotus flowers
‘Cos all I want is the moon upon a stick
Just to see what is
Just to see what is
I can’t kick your habit
Just to fill your fast-ballooning head
Listen to your heart
We were shaking and be quiet as mice
While the cat is away
Do what we want
Do what we want
There’s an empty space inside my heart
Where the roots take place
So now I’ll set you free
I’ll set you free
‘Cos all I want is the moon upon a stick
Just to see what if
Just to see what is
Birds float into my room
Slowly we unfurl

‘Cos all I want is the moon upon a stick
I feel surrounded here
The darkness is for me
I can’t kick your habit
Just to fill your fast-ballooning head
Listen to your heart
06. Codex
Slight of hand
Jump off the end
Into a clear lake
No one around
Just dragonflies
Flying to the ¿?
No one gets hurt
You’ve done nothing wrong
Slide your hand
Jump off the end
The water’s clear
And innocent
The water’s clear
And innocent
07. Give up the ghost
Don’t haunt me
Don’t hurt me
Don’t haunt me
Don’t hurt me
Gather up the lost and sold
In your arms
In your arms
Gather up the pitiful
In your arms
In your arms
While it seems impossible
In your arms
In your arms
I think I have my fill
In your arms
In your arms
I think I should give up the ghost
In your arms
In your arms

It’s like I’m falling out of bed
From a long, weary dream
The sweetest flowers and fruits hang from trees
Falling off the giant bird that’s been carrying me
It’s like I’m falling out of bed
From a long and weary dream
Just exactly as I remember
Every root
Every gesture
I’m a heart in …¿?
Like I’m falling out of bed
From a long and weary dream
Finally I’m free to …¿?
And as a …¿? lows my cover
In the eye of the beholder
I’m a fish now out of water
Falling off a giant bird that’s been carrying me
I fell open
I laid under
At the …¿?
I was just your number
I wanna tip it over
And lay back under
And if you think this is over
Then you’re wrong
If you think this is over
Then you’re wrong
If you think this is over

If you think this is over

Stanley Donwood: Work on Paper
"Everything done exhibition up record out im having a cup of tea. if you go to the show dont go upstairs. the models arent included you know"
ttp://www.slowlydownward.com/nonews.html
Stanley Donwood's solo show at Outsiders gallery in London, which opened yesterday, offers a first glimpse of some of the artwork he's created for the new Radiohead album, The King of Limbs...
"There's three new screenprints here and a fucking great big drawing," he says. "This is all from the work that's to do with the record." The artworks are inspired by nature, Donwood goes onto explain, and the northern European heritage of fairy tales and myths based around forests and woods. "It's very much about natural forms. I'd heard something about the northern European imagination, in the sense of all our fairy stories and mythical creatures. They all come from the woods - Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, Hansel & Gretel...we've got all these stories and myths.
"Me and Thom were working on these ideas of strange, multi-limbed creatures that are neither malevolent or benevolent, they're simply there, part of the living spirit of the forest. That's come through into all of the work."
Donwood worked on the artwork for the new record at the same time the band was putting the songs together. "It works at the same sort of pace as the music," he says. "It's something that grows very organically, which again went into the style of the artwork."
Fans of the band can pre-order a special edition of the album, featuring a number of artworks from Donwood, online now. For the main cover artwork, he worked in oil for the first time. "It's really, really hard," he says of the medium. "I've only painted with acrylic before, which is bascially coloured mud that dries really quickly. It's very forgiving, but oil paint isn't really. It doesn't dry at all quickly. Eventually, after a lot of disappointment I figured out how to use it. I use it in conjunction with Halfords spray paint, which is the magic ingredient."

Radiohead tweet mysterious Tokyo location ahead of new album release
Band spark rumours of performance in Japanese city
February 17, 2011 | 0 Comments
The band posted the message in Japanese on their official Twitter.com page, Twitter.com/radiohead, this morning (17).
It roughly translates as: "Hachiko Square Shibuya, 59 minutes at 18 Friday". The square is one of the notoriously busy 'pedestrian roads' in Tokyo.
Fans are now speculating that the band may appear at the square at 18:59 (JST) tomorrow, which would be 4:59am UK time on Saturday morning. Radiohead have so far not elaborated on what the message means, and their spokesperson said they would not be commenting on the tweet.
Their new album 'The King Of Limbs' is tipped to feature eight songs, although the band have said that they will not release tracklisting details ahead of its release.

The Real King of Limbs

I'm hunting the largest privately owned forest in the UK to find clues about the new Radiohead album. 'King Of Limbs' is named after one of the oldest trees in Savernake Forest - one of the oldest in Europe, in fact - and something tells me I'm getting close. The paths ended an hour ago, and even with the morning light, the depth of darkness between the increasingly dense trees is becoming ominous. I really must be close.
Radiohead have grown familiar to Wiltshire. It began when they recorded 'OK Computer' in a mansion near Bath, which began their affinity for recording in grand houses. They returned to the county to record part of 'In Rainbows' at Tottenham House, the grand mansion that reigns over Savernake Forest. "It was literally an old country pile," Ed O’Brien told Mojo in 2008, "huge and crumbling at the seams... Stanley [Donwood], who does all our artworks, said the ley lines were not very forgiving."
They spent three weeks there, recording live their most energetic songs from the album, 'Bodysnatchers' and 'Jigsaw Falling Into Place'. Between recording, they had the extensive forest to explore, with Thom reportedly being struck by the sound of a barking stag guarding it's territory. But Thom became sick, and with only a damp caravan to recover in, they soon returned to an Oxford studio. Before leaving, producer Nigel Godrich sampled the reverb from the mansion's grand chamber, which was applied to much of the album, notably Thom's vocal on 'House Of Cards'.
Perhaps the drawing of a six-limbed monster revealed on radiohead.com for the 'King Of Limbs'' official announcement offers a clue. King Henry VIII hunted here, where he famously met his third wife Jane Seymore (not the actress, of course) whose father owned the forest. They lived here at Wolf Hall, better known since the Booker-prize winning novel. Could each of the six limbs represent the ill-fated wives of the English dictator?
Although access to the 'King Of Limbs' is difficult, Savernake houses the largest concentration of ancient trees in Europe, a status only achieved when it's age is close to a millenia and the structure appears so strikingly complex that the appearance becomes a landmark. But the 'King Of Limbs' is the tree hunter's goldmine. Said to be older than England (which became a state in 927), few know where to find it and less are prepared to tell. Before my journey, I found a source who was unwilling to reveal the 'King Of Limbs'' exact location, but more than happy to challenge me with his cryptic advice. "Head towards Birch Copse, a third mile from Crockmere Oak" he tells in his thick Wiltshire drawl. I have no idea what he means. "Yes, King Of Limbs lost major branches, but still, 'tis magnificent."
I want to turn back, but I see a clearing ahead. The last of the thin whipping branches hit my rain-beaten face, and finally, I see it. The King Of Limbs. The sight of this oak leaves me no doubt, but a wooden sign confirms the landmark. It stands grand and majestic, the bark slick with rain and litchen. Two branches lay on the ground beside it, themselves large enough to appear an independant felled tree. I walk around the trunk's supposed 11-metre girth to stand in the hollow cavernous stump.
I imagine Thom Yorke standing here together in staggered disbelief, just as I am. Civilisations have risen in less time than this tree. I wonder if I should rummage through the hollow in case the band left a memento for the keenest fans, but to trek here has been obsessive enough. I take some photos, sit for a while, and begin my walk back.
Now, how do I get home…

Radiohead co-manager Chris Hufford has outlined the reasons for Radiohead’s surprise move to release their forthcoming album online with only a few days notice, in an exclusive interview with Music Week.
Hufford, one of the founders of Courtyard Management, said that the move to make Radiohead’s eighth studio album The King Of Limbs available to download on Saturday February 19 via bespoke website thekingoflimbs.com, more than a month before a physical release via XL Recordings, is a “logical progression” from the release strategy behind previous album In Rainbows.
He explained that Courtyard and the band learned what aspects of the In Rainbows release worked and what aspects did not during the campaign. The decision was made not to take an ‘honesty box’ approach with The King Of Limbs, as they had with In Rainbows.
Following The King Of Limbs' release on CD, vinyl and download via XL on March 28, the album will be available in a multi-format deluxe set, described as a “newspaper album” via thekingoflimbs.com on May 9.
Hufford explains that the set, which includes two ten-inch records, a CD, artwork and a download, will be housed in a package designed as a newspaper.
From the £6 price tag of the MP3 release to the move to initially bypass traditional retail routes, Hufford said every decision made has been done with Radiohead’s fans in mind.
“Our allegiances are to the band. We manage Radiohead, we don’t manage retail or labels, we just manage the band and are just trying to do the best possible thing to allow another brilliant record to be embraced by the fanbase,” said Hufford.
For the full interview see Music Week magazine this Monday.

Radiohead's manager Chris Hufford has described the release plan for the band's new album 'The King Of Limbs' as a "logical progression".
The record will be released as a paid-for download on Saturday (February 19), then on CD and 12-inch vinyl on March 28.
In 2007 the band released their 'In Rainbows' album as a pay-what-you-like download before it came out physically in 2008. As well as calling the new paid-for download a "logical progression", Hufford said he was trying to look after the band's interests by charging this time round.
"Our allegiances are to the band," he said. "We manage Radiohead, we don’t manage retail or labels, we just manage the band and are just trying to do the best possible thing to allow another brilliant record to be embraced by the fanbase."
'The King Of Limbs' will also be released on May 9 as what the band are billing as a 'newspaper album'. The package features the album on 10-inch vinyl and CD plus artwork sheets designed to look like a newspaper.
Radiohead fansite Ateaseweb.com crashed under the weight of hits yesterday (14) morning as fans searched for information about the new album.
