Gilles Peterson: ‘There’s A New Radiohead Album If You’re Wondering’

Those are the words of Gilles Peterson, speaking during the highlights show for his Worldwide Awards on BBC Radio 1.

“I think we’re just lucky that Radiohead are having some free time at the moment. And Thom was just hanging out. He enjoyed himself. And there’s a new Radiohead album if you’re wondering. Just done I believe.”

Those are the words of Gilles Peterson, speaking during the highlights show for his Worldwide Awards on BBC Radio 1. The Radiohead frontman made an appearance to present the award for Album of the Year to Flying Lotus, and is suggested to have spilt the beans at some point
during the evening.

Of course, with Radiohead, you're never exactly sure if it's true. Expect a denial and claims they've scrapped the lot
within the week.

Nos hacemos eco de una de las noticias que pueden dar que hablar en las próximas semanas. Hace unos días, durante la gala de entrega de los Worlwide Awards de la BBC Radio 1, el líder de Radiohead y Gilles
Peterson, locutor de la cadena, estuvieron hablando sobre el
nuevo disco de la banda británica.

Al menos eso es lo que se desprende de las palabras de Peterson en el resumen que hizo de la gala. El presentador afirma que Thom Yorke le dijo que la banda se estaba tomando un periodo de descanso en estos momentos. “Thom está un poco desconectado de
todo. Está disfrutando de sí mismo. Y si me preguntas, ya hay un nuevo disco de
Radiohead. Ya hecho, creo”, fueron las palabras de Peterson.

Esperemos que sea cierto lo que dice, aunque ya se sabe que con Radiohead nunca se puede estar del todo seguro. Algunos recordarán cómo con su último disco, In Rainbows, la banda decidió editarlo en formato digital al módico precio de la voluntad, después de que muchas de las canciones se filtraran. Con estos antecedentes, no sabemos qué nueva sorpresa nos podrá traer el grupo conla llegada del nuevo disco. Habrá que estar atentos a las noticias que salgan en las próximas semanas.

English:


I think this italian writer (referred to here) has, either through over-enthusiasm, or frustration at all my non-committal answers, mistranslated me a little....in fact we haven't quite finished the album - in the studio at the moment - nor have we yet considered any touring. The plan is to have no plan until the record is finished....hope that's a little clearer!

Jonny Greenwood



Pienso que este periodista italiano, tal vez porque estaba demasiado entusiasmado o frustrado ante mis evasivas respuestas, cambió un poco mis palabras.

De hecho, realmente no hemos terminado el álbum – de momento estamos

en el estudio - ni hemos todavía pensado en ningún tour.

El plan es no hacer planes hasta que la grabación del nuevo álbum esté terminada….

Espero que esto aclare un poco las cosas!

Jonny Greenwood


Jonny Greenwood: Radiohead “almost finished” with new album


11010877697?profile=original




English

The surprise redesign of Radiohead’s website gave us the first indication that a new album might be close, but now we have some actual words to back it up. Speaking recently with Rolling Stone Italia (via At Ease), Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood confirmed that the band is “almost finished” with the follow to 2007’s In Rainbows and plan to support the release with a “big tour.”


While Greenwood didn’t digress much on specific aspects of the album (he
even admitted he tends to remove himself from the decision making
process), the guitarist did say “10 pieces (tracks) maybe
some more” would be included. Greenwood also noted that the band has yet to
decided how to release the effort.
"


El nuevo disco está casi terminado


Español. Gracias por la traducción Radiohead Mexico


La revista Rolling Stone Italia lo entrevistó:


¿Y qué hay del nuevo álbum?


Ya lo estamos terminando, para después irnos a un enorme tour.


¿Van a distribuirlo del modo tradicional o han inventado una nueva forma de venderlo?


Aún no lo sabemos. Para el tiempo en el que hicimos In Rainbows pareció bien haber experimentado con él vendiéndolo gratis.


¿Qué tipo de álbum será?


Tendrá 10 canciones; quizá más. No sé a ciencia cierta. Es que en la banda soy alguien que se desespera rápidamente y por eso no tomo partido en la parte seria de la
producción.

apparat remix harrowdown hill

11010865088?profile=original


thanks dumbaspaint

Sasha Ring’s work under his Apparat moniker has always been evolving; over three albums on the Shitkatapult label and the collaborative full lengths with Ellen
Allien and Modeselektor as Moderat on Bpitch Control, he’s surprised a lot of
listeners with his output. Confined to little or no definitive style his music
has always been in a constant state of metamorphosis, simultaneously breaching
new waters and staying true to his unique spirit of musical openness and his
obvious passion for sound design.


 


Aptly joking that his DJ KiCKs selection reflects his style to “not really have a style” it’s evident that Ring is more than aware that his contribution to the
series might look ‘intelligent’ on paper – with the tracklist aligning variant
artists like Oval, Autechre, Ripperton and Thom Yorke – but given his recent
tour at the start of the year, it’s simply a representation of where he’s at in
terms of modern music. “I didn’t want to
make this kind of ‘smart’ mix, that’s eclectic and sounds like it’s done ‘on purpose;’
but I need to do different things to keep myself motivated,” Ring explains. “At
first I wanted to make a collection of influences, all kinds of old songs but
then sometimes with those mixes it’s hard to keep some kind of flow and they’re
just not very easy to listen to, so I ended up using good new music; music that
almost gave me hope that there’s more out there than boring minimal
techno.” The Apparat contribution is as
stylized as the preceding mixes in the series from Kode 9 and James Holden; with
Ring embracing the opportunity to create a mix that represents both his
personality and his brave take on ‘club’ music. With an incredibly prevalent
talent for manipulation of both tempos and melodies, Ring includes tracks from
a handful of dubstep producers like Dutch producer Martyn – whose ‘Miniluv’
provides a glorious rhythmic propulsion when under-layed beneath Patrice
Baumel’s ‘Sub’ – and Ramadanman’s ‘Tempest’ – whose melody all but dissipates
at the optimum moment – layering and blending them perfectly with tracks from
across an array of genres from Autechre’s percussive white noise to Oval’s
erratically colourful sound slices or the echoed clicks of Phon.o’s
‘Intervall.’


 


“A mix needs a bit of dynamic,’ he states. “There were these weirder things I wanted to use, like this Four Tet remix (of Born Ruffian’s ‘I Need A Life’) and
then there are some tracks i had to use as tools to glue it all togehter. The
way I used the Martyn track is more of a tool to adjust the Patrice Baumel
track dynamically to the following ones. But most of the songs are in there for
musical reasons. All these artists have their own sound signatures and manage
to inject that space into every new song they produce.”


 


Achieving a sense of progression in the mix through both his selections and his awareness of sonic space, Ring manages to harness his enthusiasms for frequency perfect
soundscapes, often creating moments of sheer beauty out of his polarized
composite parts.


 


“The mix isn’t that balanced when it comes to melody I guess,” he continues, considering his point. “There’s a lot of sweetness on there, but it is dark and
mysterious at points. I guess the bittersweet-ness has long been kind of my
thing and with this mix I was just trying to spice it up a bit.”

ELECTRONICA WITH BBC CONCERT ORCHESTRA & JONNY GREENWOOD


11010866272?profile=original

English

Charles Hazlewood conductor
Jarvis Cocker presenter
Will Gregory Moog Ensemble

We have now released a number of tickets for restricted-view seats at this sold-out concert.You can reserve your ticket by phone 0844 847 9910 (£2.50 transaction fee). Transaction fees apply per transaction, not per ticket.

Instrumental music by Goldfrapp's Will Gregory, Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood and others featuring theremins, Moogs and ondes Martenots - electronic instruments that were once symbols of music catching up with the Machine Age, yet still today appear somehow futuristic.

Director Alfred Hitchcock invited surrealist artist Salvador Dalí to create a dream sequence for his film Spellbound. Miklós Rózsa's soundtrack for this scene evokes the otherworldly with a theremin - an eternally mysterious instrument that conjures sound without being touched.

Hollywood got wind of this and soon Bernard Herrmann's score for the 1951 sci-fi epic The Day The Earth Stood Still was made rich with sonic lunar landscapes created by wibbly wobbly theremins and a Hammond organ rewiring the conventional orchestral palette.

French composer André Jolivet's Suite delphique is a sonic monolith with woodwind, percussion and ondes martenot at its core.

And, moving into the Space Age, Wendy Carlos' synths transform familiar Bach melodies into mechanistic sound sculptures, Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood infuses his rock albums with ondes Martenot glissandos and tremolos, bringing that tactile sound to his orchestral piece Smear, and Goldfrapp's Will Gregory reimagines the Moog synthesiser in his Journey into the Sky.

Thom Yorke DJ SET

 

11010866665?profile=original

 



thanks a lot twitter friends !!!


English


http://la.guestofaguest.com/events/thom-yorke-djs-nightswim-at-tropicana



Tropicana's weekly Nightswim party is always a great time, but last night's was especially awesome when it turned philanthropic with The Voice Project. Oh, and the musical genius of Radiohead, Thom Yorke, took over the turntables. Nightswim has been the Thursday night spot
throughout the summer, with a special guest DJ here and pop up shop there over
the weeks. Last night's installment of the party was presented by The
Voice Project, a group that works for the peace movement in Uganda through art
and music. The L.A. Ladies ChoirNigel Godrich,Ana Calderon, and Bryan Ling spun special sets for the crowd. The party hit awhole new level when the one-and-only Thom Yorke got on the decks.Yes, we're talking about the lead singer/songwriter of the eminent, Radiohead. Although L.A. tried to keep its 'too cool forschool' attitude in check, you know everyone was totally pooping their pants --an appropriate response to the musical icon. Dancing to Thom Yorke's musicalselection? Enough said. The night was fantastic, and all for a good cause. performed live for the attendees, and DJs.

Todos los jueves, las fiestas en Tropicana Nightswim son divertidas pero la de anoche fue fabulosa. Con el fin de reunir fondos para The Voice Project (una organización de artistas que trabaja a favor de la paz en Uganda), Thom Yorke, el genio de Radiohead, se puso al frente de las bandejas. Ofreció su dj set para los asistentes entre los cuales se encontraban Nigel Godrich, Ana Calderón, Bryan Ling, entre otros. Si bien los famosos intentaban comportarse con naturalidad y bailar como si no pasara nada, era evidente que todo el mundo estaba muy impresionado por tener a Thom Yorke pinchando bandejas.

UPDATE January 2012 - a year after the release and 2 years after the earthquake:
as per Oxfam, our DVD has raised $23,690 in a total of 1236 gifts.... from 42 countries!! Those of you who donated your footage and those of you who contributed to raising money for Haiti - THANK YOU!!!!!!
------------------
Hi all!!
SO
But remember - it was a SPECIAL show with a SPECIAL purpose – to raise badly needed funds for those who lived through the devastation. And it seemed only appropriate that the DVD should carry on some of these goals. So on the behalf of our little team of three, I contacted the band/management to tell them about our project and asked to name a charity of their choice - so that those downloading the DVD could donate some money to it – however much they can (‘cause we trust Radiohead’s choices don’t we?). We were thrilled to hear that Radiohead supported our efforts :-) and named Haiti to be the ‘beneficiary’ of such donations. They also chose Oxfam – who originally helped to organize the show – as the organization that would handle it. So I asked Oxfam if they could create a DEDICATED LINK for us, Radiohead fans, so in the end, we would be able to know how much we have raised and let the band know too!.... I am ecstatic to tell you that it all happened!
Here we are –

Finally, Kii Arens – the author of the original ‘bandaid’ poster for the show - stepped forward to create artwork for our DVD! You see it on top of the post but the real hi-rez file is included in
the DVD (so don’t rip this blog :)) – thanks, Kii!!
Andrea made a very different alternative art - check it out :-) http://www.flickr.com/photos/39226151@N00/5287497885/
Enormous thanks to RADIOHEAD for EVERYTHING, Chris Hufford (Chris, you’re awesome!) and Bob Ferguson at Oxfam America (I owe you multiple drinks!) for making it fall into place (uhm - did I just say this?)
In this project, we have 14 video tapers, 4 audio tapers (everyone is listed on all art and all info files), more audio mixing by hoserama and an astounding amount of editing work by formengr (love you, form!) – I feel like we are all thanking each other, and it feels great! So THANKS again!!

Here we go:

2xDVD with 4 alternate audio tracks:

Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, DOOM: Retarded Fren

11010900093?profile=original

 

The first track from Lex Records 10th anniversary compilation 'Complex'.

A new track by artists on, or associated with the label made available every Monday for 10 weeks starting November 7th.

 

LISTEN TO RETARDED FREN HERE !!!

 

 

 

As part of a compilation celebrating the 10 year anniversary of Lex Records, DOOM (the artist formerly known as MF DOOM) has teamed up with Radiohead's Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood for an as-yet-untitled track. (Maybe this is what they were working on back in March?)

The compilation is called Complex, and also includes contributions from Gruff Rhys' and Boom Bip's Neon Neon project, Boom Bip solo, and Doseone and Fog's Crook&Flail project, among others. It'll be made available digitally on a week-by-week, track-by track basis until mid-January, at which point the whole set will be released on picture disc vinyl.

This won't mark the first collaboration between Radiohead and DOOM-- Thom Yorke remixed "Gazzillion Ear", a track from the rapper's 2009 album Born Like This. Stream that remix below.

As part of the Lex anniversary celebration, DOOM will head out on a UK tour in November, teaming up with Ghostface Killah and Jneiro Jarel for a show in London. Dates are below.

Oct, 28/2011: Halloween Time !!!

   Modeselektor feat. Thom Yorke, 'Shipwreck' (Video)

In case you didn't get enough of a scare from "Haunt You," The Pack A.D.'s monster-filled music video, we've got another video fit for the Halloween season, this time from the German electronic maestros in Modeselektor, featuring the vocals of electronic music's favorite guest performer: Thom Yorke.

This time, we're dealing with blood-lusting zombies and a battery-hoarding little boy. "Shipwreck" is a brooder, with slow-moving atmospheric pads rising from out behind a shuffling beat. This single from Modeselektor's newest album Monkeytown sets an unsettling tone for the gray shots of the main character's fortress. Director Tony T. Datis told me in an email that, because his English isn't good enough to understand Yorke's lyrics, he drew his inspiration from the sound of Yorke's voice instead

Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary of Modeselektor contacted Datis about the video over the summer, and said of the final product. "When we saw the final video, we were moved to tears — such a great and emotional video." For his part, Thom Yorke had this to say: "Wicked."

In some ways, the wickedness of the video pays homage to one of the oldest fears of mankind. In the face of mindless zombies, it seems our hero is less worried about their homicidal intentions than he is about going to bed without a nightlight.

Jack White confirmed that Radiohead spent some time recording at his Third Man Studio

In an interview with BBC Radio 6 Music , Jack White confirmed that Radiohead spent some time recording at his Third Man Studio in Nashville. White didn't say much on the subject, noting that he was not involved. 

"I don't know how much to tell about it except that I didn't play with them or produce it," he said. "But they came and recorded at Third Man. I don't know what else they want to be said about that, so that's all I probably can say!"

 During Radiohead's epic 25-song headlining set at Bonaroo last month, frontman Thom Yorke dedicated "Supercollider" to White while hinting at a possible collaboration. 

"This song is for Jack White," said Yorke during the group's set . "We're not gonna tell you why, but you'll find out."

While it doesn't look like an actual collaboration occurred, maybe a patented Third Man Blue Series single from Radiohead is on the horizon. Fingers crossed.

Se publica una vez a la semana, con variaciones en el horario y a veces hasta en los días.

Describe el día a día de mi vida y narra las desventuras que me ocurren, acompañado de un toque de cultura pop.

Está dirigido a un público geek.

About her drawings,Tanit said: 

I am not artist.

I cannot draw everything that I have inside my head, and all of these things I can see and can imagine, when I listen to music. trying, but obtained only a meager similarity, and I throw it in the dustbin.

The only thing that I sometimes get - it is to catch the facial expression and emotions of people which I want to draw.

I am drawing faces some people, who help me feel myself alive. (sometimes they are imaginary, sometimes not!)

I never learned to draw and probably I do a lot of mistakes, for which the teacher would have to tear my hands out))))

I just drawing a portrait of the way I can see and perceive person. This is not to much of my merit, I think =)

often it is only my emotion, an attempt to unravel the mystery, or even a kind of meditation.
maybe it's just my way of saying "thank you" to people whom I immensely respect and love for their work and attitudes to life.
so how I can

About his art, Travis Braun said: 


All of the images were inspired by TKOL and all of the lyrics were taken from the album or found in "The Universal Sigh" (the newspaper).  I scanned and used a bunch of the artwork found in the newspaper as well as the other extra artwork included with the newspaper version of the album... notice the trees in the background as well as Jonny's shirt and of course the newspaper itself which is held by Mr. Magpie (in the bottom left corner)  I also hand drew a bunch more artwork taken from The Universal Sigh... you will notice all the strange little creatures all over.  The grass in the bottom left corner is patterned after the lightning bolt-ish artwork on the cover of Supercollider/The Butcher.  You will also notice 3 white mice in the tree towards the top of the image, they are each doing a different dance move inspired by Thom's Lotus Flower dance. I tried to capture the feeling of the album with it's many depths & layers as well as portray a mystically beautiful but slightly eerie scene; one which might only exist in Radiohead land... where we all long to be.

It’s funny how certain music scenes have become legendary – Merseybeat in the 60′s, London’s summer of punk in the 70′s, Sheffield’s Electro 80′s and Manchester’s ‘Baggy’ 90′s. When you break them down, they’re just a small handful of bands making very similar music during a very short but high-profile period.

When people talk about regional music scenes, they never talk about Oxford. Yet Oxford’s tight music community has been steadily producing genre-defining bands of the highest quality and integrity for pushing 30 years.

RIDE – who created (and indirectly named) the Shoegaze genre, TALULAH GOSH – the enfant terribles of Riot Girl, Britpop legends SUPERGRASS, Creation’s Alt-Rock heroes SWERVEDRIVER, current Post-Punk/Math-Rock phenomenon FOALS and – oh yeah – RADIOHEAD all came directly from this one scene. They built and took inspiration from it, they got support and encouragement from it, they cut their teeth in its venues and ultimately were launched into worldwide success from it.

But nobody’s ever heard of it.

So now, all of those bands, along with their less-succesful friends and contemporaries and the promoters, managers, journalists, record label owners and gig-goers who built the scene tell their story.

Anyone Can Play Guitar is not like most music docs. Using the unheard stories of some of the greatest bands and the greatest stories of some of the unheard bands as the backdrop to a truly unique and epic saga of success, failure, good intentions and bad outcomes. It refuses to mythologise and explores what can be achieved with community and the harsh realities of the music industry.

From the DIY spirit of the early 80′s right through to  the  controversial corporatisation of Oxford’s best-loved venue, ACPG tracks three decades of highs and lows in a punchy, really engaging style.

The film is narrated by cult comedian Stewart Lee

ACPG was made completely independently by film-maker and music video director Jon Spira over the course of three years.

Klootme has added a demo  (1986) with On Friday's songs !!!!

 

The songs are: Girl (in the purple dress) and Everybody Knows

 

Thank you so much Klootme for your demo and story !! absolutely amazing !!!!!!

 

 

 About this demo Klootme told me:

"History behind the tape is that my husband was at school with the band and partied with them (before Jonny joined them!). Phil was at Uni with us both in Liverpool. The demo was given to my husband at 17 in school. We used to go and see them play in Oxford and was friends with them. They were fairly inactive from 1987 -1990 as a band. But when everyone had finished Uni they got back together and tried to make a go of it. They went to the States...we went backpacking to India for 6 months.

Six months later we retured from India...saw Colin with a binbag full of laundry at the lauderette....."so much for the States" we laughed......."

I remember seeing them in in Oxford where me and my husband made up an audience of 6!

They weren't COOL.

The rest is history..... "



 

Acerca de este demo Klootme me contó lo siguiente:

"La historia detrás de este demo es que mi esposo había ido a la escuela con algunos miembros de la banda y se juntaba con ellos (antes de que Jonny se sumara a la banda). Phil estudiaba con nosotros en la Universidad de Liverpool. El demo lo consiguió mi esposo cuando tenía 17 años. Nosotros éramos amigos y solíamos ir a verlos tocar a Oxford.

La banda estuvo inactiva entre 1987 y 1990 pero cuando cada uno terminó el colegio se volvieron a reunir.  Entonces ellos se fueron a USA y nosotros nos fuimos de viaje como mochileros a la India por 6 meses.

Seis meses después, cuando regresamos de India,  vimos a Colin  con una bolsa repleta de ropa sucia en la lavandería traída de USA y nos reímos ¡!

Yo recuerdo haber visto tocar a la banda en la vieja estación de bomberos de  Oxford, el público éramos solamente seis personas ¡

No eran nada cool ¡!

El resto ya es historia conocida   … "

Here's a third song from the 1986 demo tape. Recorded at Abingdon School. Baby Radiohead minus Jonny. Hear the '80's......Psychedelic Furs, The Waterboys, U2 and The Smiths influence but take note of the very Radiohead ending! Thom's voice as a 17 year old....And Phil's drumming!

Radiohead contribute 14 songs to documentary 'The Island President' soundtrack

The band, who are currently preparing for their extensive world tour in support of 'The King Of Limbs', have allowed a large number of their songs to be used in the soundtrack of a new documentary which looks at the plight of the Republic of Maldives.

Radiohead have contributed 14 songs from their back catalogue to the soundtrack of new documentary The Island President.

 

Among the Radiohead songs featured on the soundtrack are 'Idioteque', 'Everything In Its Right Place', 'Reckoner', 'House Of Cards' and 'How To Disappear Completely'.

Source: NME

 

Thom wrote on DAS:”'The Island President' is a film about the Maldives, and the struggle of President Nasheed to get the voice of a small nation heard in the climate change debate. Unless something is done to stop rising sea levels they will lose everything. The country will be under water. Some of our music was used to help tell the story."

“I thought it would be like being on the tour bus,” he groaned at one point. “But it ain’t.”

When the resident rock star Thom Yorke finally appears from his cabin, still looking a bit green, he is remarkably upbeat about the experience.

“I thought it would be like being on the tour bus,” he groaned at one point. “But it ain’t.”

He was partly inspired to come on the adventure by his young 10-year-old son Noah, who like most boys his age is obsessed with oceans – even if they do make him sick – and his own fascination in technical solutions to environmental problems.

“The worst thing was throwing up – which we did a lot,” says Thom. “The best thing about it is the boat, all the technology, the bridge, the radar, the sails, the communications, the engine room.”

It is unusual to hear a singer enthusing about the potential for sail on cargo ships, but then Thom Yorke was never an ordinary pop star.

He became involved in the climate change movement after having children and waking up every night “just terrified”.

However the experience of going to international climate talks and watching David Cameron “go backwards” on the environment has made him disillusioned with the political process and increasingly angry.

He wants action rather than words and Rainbow Warrior felt like an opportunity to make things happen.

Real vs Astroturf?

 

President Obama is soon to make a decision on whether to press one of THE big red climate self destruct buttons..

and is under considerable pressure from a fake grassroots campaign funded by um

..certain interested parties (its called Astroturfing )

into allowing the Tar Sands nightmare to go ahead..

if you don't know anything about the Tar Sands have a quick google...

as seems to be the way of politics this won't happen unless a strong show of resistance can be seen to help obama say no.

Anyway there is a campaign of peaceful civil disobedience planned in washington..

thanks for reading this. more stuff about music laterrrrr

Rolling Stone: The 15 Most Eco-Friendly Rocker

"Plastic anything is like contraband," the band Liars wrote about touring with Radiohead. "Every bus and truck runs on biofuel. There is no idling, rather some new-fangled way to deliver electricity cleanly. They don't do airfreight, either. The list goes on. Everything is supremely managed to reduce the 'footprint.'" Instead of flying their gear, singer Thom Yorke insisted on buying two sets of equipment and at one point even threatened to quit touring altogether, citing environmental concerns. But instead of hanging it up, the band worked to green their tours and support climate change awareness campaigns like Friends of the Earth. Though Yorke refused to meet with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair to discuss the environment, citing his lack of "environmental credentials," he's similarly critical of himself. "I haven't done enough," he told an Australian newspaper in 2006. "The job I'm in is a job that wastes energy left, right and centre. It's madness."

Español

Según Liars - la banda soporte en la gira por USA - para Radiohead "cualquier cosa de plástico es considerada contrabando". Todo el transporte de la banda se hace en autobuses y camiones que funcionan con biocombustible. Toda la energía consumida es limpia." Tampoco utilizan aviones para transportar el equipamiento. Todo el esfuerzo está orientado a reducir la "huella de carbono del tour". "En vez de volar enviando los equipos por avión , Thom Yorke, insistió en la compra de dos juegos de equipamientos y en un momento hasta amenazó con dejar de hacer el tour, debido a preocupaciones ambientales. Radiohead resolvió el problema del impacto ambiental de sus giras y apoyó las campañas de concientización por el cambio climático en colaboración con Amigos de la Tierra.

 

Aunque Yorke se negó a reunirse con el ex primer ministro británico, Tony Blair, para discutir el medio ambiente, citando su falta de "credenciales del medio ambiente".

 

Yorke es igualmente crítico de sí mismo. "No he hecho lo suficiente", dijo a un periódico australiano en 2006. "El trabajo que yo estoy haciendo (en referencia a los tours de la banda) en un trabajo que desperdicia muchísima energía a. Es una locura."

KING CANUTE: 2,000+ FORM “KING CANUTE” DESIGNED

BY THOM YORKE FOR PLANETARY ART SHOW


11010880300?profile=original

English

http://earth.350.org/press-room/uk/

More than 2,000 people braved the wind and rain today to form an image of King Canute designed by Radiohead lead-singer Thom Yorke. Yorke explained, “The plan is to make images visible from the skies to remind those in Cancun that we can't keep putting this off.”


The public art display was designed to send a climate warning to political leaders in the run-up to the UN Climate Talks in Cancun. According to legend, King Canute set his throne by the sea shore and commanded the tide to halt, only to be soaked by the ocean’s waves. Just as Canute realized his own hubris, world leaders today must realize the dangers of ignoring climate change and rise to solving the challenge.

11010880860?profile=original


“We need politicians today to have a ‘Canute’ moment,” said 350.org founder, American author and environmentalist Bill McKibben. “Scientists are clearly warning there is too much carbon in the atmosphere. World leaders can't avoid that reality any longer."350.org is named after 350 parts per million, what scientists say is the safe upper limit of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. NASA calculates the current level of CO2 at more than 390 ppm.


The image formed on the beaches of Brighton-Hove was designed by Yorke and his long-time collaborator Stanley Donwood. The picture also appeared on the cover of Yorke’s album Eraser. Yorke helped promote the event on Radiohead’s website and four million person strong Facebook page.

11010880884?profile=original
The event was one of over a dozen similar displays taking place as part of 350 EARTH, the first planetary art show for the climate. The image of King Canute was joined by a giant sun in South Africa; a polar bear on an Icelandic glacier; a scarab in the Egyptian desert; an eagle in Los Angeles; and many more. Hi-res photos and videos of the events are available on the earth.350.org website.The Brighton-Hove event had the backing of Brighton & Hove Council, who spearhead a city-wide coalition of organisations and businesses that form 10:10
Brighton & Hove. All have pledged to reduce CO2 emissions by 10% in a year by simple, achievable measures, in a bid to minimise the effects of climate change.

Tom Chute, coordinator of 10:10 Brighton & Hove, said: "The people of Brighton & Hove have shown real enthusiasm for environmental issues over the last year, lending a hand to 350’s Earth Art project will really put Brighton & Hove's climate change action on the map." Councillor Mary Mears, of Brighton & Hove Council, said: "It's great that Brighton & Hove has been chosen as the UK venue for this international event to tackle climate change. It links city strengths in art, environment and voluntary action together; and the strong involvement of the city 10:10 campaign, which we backed from the outset. We’re very happy that once again people will be looking towards Brighton & Hove for inspiration on tackling climate change."

Bill McKibben, founder of 350.org said: "The first pictures of Earth from space helped launch the modern environmental movement. We hope these art pieces can help spark a new movement to solve the climate crisis. Art is not a substitute for political action, but it can help build a public movement that can begin to
apply real pressure on our politicians.”
