Some previous reports from radiohead have suggested they have written and rehearsed a few new songs... This hasn't really happened before.....except I suppose, for the end of the 1998 tour "how to disappear" and "nude" were played, and during 2001 the early "reckoner" was played. During the Hail to the Thief tour there were no songs newer than that album played. so of course it's possible that new songs might not be played during this tour, but it sounds like there are a few, and of course a few mysterious songs like "pig's ear" and stuff like that from sessions leading up to in rainbows that must have been pretty good. so, to get to the point, in a week or so (for myself) and less than that for others, there may be a completely new radiohead song to hear and marvel at! It's hard to comprehend, I suppose, and possible that new songs if any emerge in concerts, won't be played til later in the tour.Also definitely excited about the video recordings of apparently ten or so songs including "optimistic" "where i end" and "myxomatosis" along side in rainbows songs which will emerge tomorrow. I won't be watching those until after next friday, but that isn't too long to wait!

One more reason to say the French legal system is sooo fucked up. Translation might be a little haphazardLEMONDE.FR avec AFP | 02.05.08 | 08h36Un Français déchu de sa nationalité française après son mariage avec un Néerlandais"J'ai l'impression d'être renié par mon pays, mes racines, mon héritage. Je suis traité comme un criminel". Dans des témoignages à Libération et au Parisien, vendredi 2 mai, Frédéric Minvielle, 37 ans, se dit "indigné". Ce Français vivant aux Pays-Bas a été déchu de sa nationalité française après s'être marié avec un Néerlandais et avoir acquis la nationalité de son conjoint.Installé aux Pays-Bas depuis 2002, M. Minvielle s'y est marié le 6 décembre 2003 et a acquis la nationalité néerlandaise en 2006, "parce que ce pays reconnaît mon amour et mon mariage", a-t-il expliqué.Lorsqu'il s'inscrit sur les listes électorales du consulat à Amsterdam fin 2006 pour pouvoir voter à la présidentielle de 2007 - "j'ai voté Sarkozy qui maintenant m'enlève ma nationalité", déplore-t-il -, le consulat intrigué transfère son dossier au ministère de la justice. Selon une convention entre la France et les Pays-Bas en vigueur depuis 1985 et modifiée en 1993 et 1996, tout ressortissant d'un des deux pays acquérant la nationalité de l'autre pays perd sa nationalité d'origine sauf en cas de mariage et de volonté expresse de conserver sa nationalité initiale.DÉCISION "PARTICULIÈREMENT HUMILIANTE"Mais la France ne reconnaissant pas le mariage homosexuel, Frédéric Minvielle s'est vu signifier par le consulat, en décembre 2007, la déchéance de sa nationalité française, selon des documents dont l'AFP a obtenu copie. Il lui a été demandé dans la foulée de rendre sa carte nationale d'identité et son passeport, ce qu'il a refusé de faire. L'affaire a été révélée par le magazine français Têtu."Si j'étais une femme mariée à un Hollandais, il n'y aurait pas eu de problème, mais je suis un homme marié avec un homme" et donc "considéré comme célibataire par la loi française alors que j'ai un acte de mariage légal", dénonce-t-il.D'autres pays européens (Belgique, Espagne) ont légalisé le mariage homosexuel et d'autres des unions accordant les mêmes droits qu'un mariage (Danemark, Suède, Finlande). L'association SOS homophobie s'est élevée contre une décision "particulièrement humiliante et symboliquement inexcusable", et demande au gouvernement "de réintégrer immédiatement cet homme dans la nationalité française".-------A Frenchman loses his French nationality after his wedding with a Dutchman"I feel like I have been denied by my country, my roots, my heritage. I am treated like a criminal". In his testimony to Libération and Le Parisien, Friday May 2nd, Frédéric Minvielle, 37, says he is "outraged". This Frenchman living in the Netherlands was deprived of his French nationality after marrying a Dutchman and getting his spouse's nationality. Installed in the Netherlands since 2002, M. Minvielle got married there on the 6th of December 2003 and got the Dutch nationality in 2006, "because this country acknowledges my love and my marriage", he explained.When he registers on election boards of the Amsterdam consulate late 2006 to vote at the 2007 presidential election - "I voted for Sarkozy who is now removing my nationality" he deplores, - the intrigued consulate deeds his case to the Justice department. According to a convention between France and the Netherlands effective since 1985 and modified in 1993 and 1996, a citizen of one of the two countries gaining the nationality of the other country loses his original nationality except in case of a wedding and a strong willing to keep his initial nationality."Particularly humiliating" decisionBut as France does not acknowledge homosexual weddings, Frédéric Minvielle got said by the Consulate, in December 2007, the deposition of his French nationality, according to documents the AFP got a copy of. He was asked without a break to give his ID card and his passeport back, which is refused to do. The case got revealed by the French magasine Têtu."If I were a woman married to a Dutchman, there wouldn't have been a problem, but I am a man married with a man" and therefore "considered as single by the French law even though I have a legal marriage act", he informs.Others European countries (Belgium, Spain) legalised homosexual weddings and others unions giving the same rights as a wedding (Denmark, Sweden, Finland). The SOS homophobia association protests against a "particularly humiliating and symbolically inexcusable decision", and demands that the government "immediately returns this man in the French nationality".-----All of this inside Schengen space...Unfortunately this is quite common in France. My dad was born in Germany, and, even though he is French (and his parents were French as well) he has tremendous problems to get various official papers (ID card, car registration documents, he has been asked once if he was sure he got the right to vote in a polling station.) since the Pasqua law in 1993. Yay, Europe...Read more…
