Thanx in advance.
Ke esten de poka!!!
I was very sad to hear the news that Mark Linkous has died. He and his band toured with us in Europe, at the start of OK
Computer, and they were great every night. His first two records were
very important to me, and I carried his music from the tour into my
life, and my friends’ lives too. He was softly spoken, with an Old
South courtesy I hadn’t heard before: he introduced me to Daniel
Johnston’s music, and the West Virginian writing of Pinckney Benedict.
Mark wrote and played some beautiful music, and we’re lucky to have it.
Rest in Peace.

Some of his music marks a very special segment of my life, I am shocked and grieved.
"Bodysong, o filme de 2003, com uma trilha sonora Radiohead pelo multi-instrumentista Jonny Greenwood , está programado para ser lançado em DVD ainda este mês.
O DVD do filme, incluindo também um comentário de áudio do músico, será lançado no dia 22 de março.
Dirigido por Simon Pummell, Bodysong tem como características colagens de imagens, incluindo documentários e vídeos caseiros na tentativa de retratar o que o criador diz que é uma celebração ", e também uma acusação, da humanidade".

Radiohead guitarist Ed O'Brien has written to the BBC Trust to ask them to save radio station 6 Music.
BBC Director General Mark Thompson announced plans to axe the station – along with various other BBC portals - earlier this week (March 2) in a bid to cut spending within the corporation.
Referring to Thompson as "Herr Director General" on Radioheads blog Dead Air Space, O'Brien then pasted an email he has sent to the BBC Trust, who are engaging in a period of public consultation over the issue before deciding whether 6 Music will actually close or not.
"I wonder if those who made this decision are actually aware of the hugely important role that 6 Music plays in fostering and promoting new bands, as well as still playing the likes of the band that I am in. It literally is the radio lifeblood for music outside of the mainstream," O'Brien wrote.
He added: "Please realise the impact and severity of closing this station down. It will be a huge blow for new bands and their labels. It's not enough to 'refocus' Radio's 1 and 2 as 6 Music does a very specific thing. What you have with 6 Music is a gem of a radio station, it is doing what no other station in the world does or can possibly do.
"Remember it is also still relatively young, give it time. You also finally have a fantastic and seemingly settled line up of DJs. Please get behind it and from what I can gather about its annual budget of £6 million, it surely punches way above it's weight in terms of cultural relevance and importance."
O'Brien joins a growing list of musicians to state their displeasure at the plans to close 6 Music, alongside the likes of David Bowie and Mark Ronson.

For those who don’t know or remember, Senor Chieftain Mews,as he likes to be addressed now, was our slightly disturbing host
on ‘the most gigantic lying mouth of all time’ …. Well, his comrade in
arms and occasional masseuse, Chris Bran (who has also been hugely
involved in our webcasts since we started them back in 2000), has a
pilot out of his new comedy called ‘This is Jinsy’ .. it went out last
Monday night on BBC 3 and you can still watch it on the BBC iplayer, but
only for a few more days… hurray whilst stocks last… Go check it out ..
It’s mental:

If we are on the subject of things you should watch then allow me to point you in the direction of the film ‘1 2 3 4’. It was written and directed by an old friend of ours from Oxford, Giles Borg. Giles was a true mensch of the Oxford scene back in the day .. he directed videos (Colin starred in one he made for the Candyskins, and it's on youtube..),and made a fine documentary on Ride. Well, he’s made his first feature film and it’s the story of an indie band forming and trying to get a deal … Sound familiar?...I love it.. You can see a trailer of it at:
http://www.1234themovie.co.uk/
It’s showing around the UK at the moment:

Mark Thompson, Herr Director General of the BBC, announced yesterday that 6 music was to be closed ... which is obviously
a ludicrous decision for those who actually love hearing great music on
the radio ... so I've written to the BBC Trust, who apparently have the
ability to reverse the decision, and if you feel this way inclined the
link is https://consultations.external.bbc.co.uk/departments/bbc/bbc-strategy-review/consultation/consult_view
Here's what I wrote:
To whom it may concern,
I am writing regarding the news today that 6 Music is going to be closed, in the hope that you reconsider this decision. To be honest I, along with a vast number of other musicians, music industry types and real music fans, are completely shocked and baffled by this news. I wonder if those who made this decision are actually aware of the hugely important role that 6 music plays in fostering and promoting new bands, as well as still playing the likes of the band that I am in. It literally is the radio lifeblood for music outside of the mainstream. Not to denigrate Radio's 1 and 2, but it really is the only station that puts music first, and that's from a punters point of view and not some bloke in a band. Nowhere else can you hear an archived session track from T Rex juxtaposed next to Midlake's latest release. As David Bowie, put it ... it keeps the spirit of John Peel alive.
Please realise the impact and severity of closing this station down. It will be a huge blow for new bands and their labels. It's not enough to 'refocus' Radio's 1 and 2 as 6 music does a very specific thing. What you have with 6 Music is a gem of a radio station, it is doing what no other station in the world does or can possibly do. Remember it is also still relatively young, give it time. You also finally have a fantastic and seemingly settled line up of DJ's. Please get behind it and from what I can gather about its annual budget of £6m, it surely punches way above it's weight in terms of cultural relevance and importance.
Thank you for considering this.

On guitar its me, bass and keys and loops Kevin Feazey and on the drums its Stuart Marshall
Its available as a "pay what you want" download from band camp just click here to have a listen:
It was recorded last year before my back injury as part of the sessions for my second album but it kind of became its own thing. I enjoyed playing electric for a change - was much fun recording it and the interaction with the other players as opposed to my solo stuff was great.
Kev took the semi improvised tracks and added keyboards and some cut up loops etc.
Lots of fun indeed.
If you would like to hear the original version of snow its here, track 5 on my album which is also available as a "pay what you like" download:
I hope you enjoy it

also, note that the dead air space website says ticketmaster on-sale date is 3/5, but ticketmaster says it is 3/6
also note the following statement from ticketmaster:
"The Thom Yorke tour is a paperless ticketed tour. You will not receive a physical ticket for entry and are required to bring the credit card used to buy your tickets and a government-issued ID to the venue, where your credit card will be swiped to gain you and your party access to the event. If you do not have your credit card and government-issued ID in hand at the event, you will not gain access to the event."
