Someone from atease who says they have a reliable inside source posted the new radiohead album should be available in September. They also said radiohead are about to resign to EMI.

Sounds about the right time, fits in with their touring schedule. I'd guess House of Cards will be be released as a single in August then.

I am not sure about that. According to the radiohead message board they were working on nude which is an old track. The guy on atease has been right about all his radiohead inside info so far. So it's likely he is right abouta September album.

september i dont wanna wait that long

i was hoping to have my mind blown to kick off the summer

I can't see Nude being released as a single. Would mean the band would immeaditely get shat on for releasing a single written nearly ten years ago, would be a bad move.

Is "Nude" the same as "Big Boots" or "Big Ideas"? Can never remember.

Yes, there seems to be alot of discussion around them releaseing a ten year old song. Maybe they were just playing with our minds. Anyway check out the post straight from their own message board http://www.radiohead.com/deadairspace/
Also, if anyone can oull off taking an old song and making it sound great it's radiohead.

It's ok, I read AtEase daily. I've no problem with the song being re-recorded and featuring on the album, just not as a single (unless it's not on the album if that makes any sense.)

I still think House of Cards and Arpeggii are the most likely single candiates of the songs we are familar with.

If you would like to start an interesting discussion here, feel free to make a poll of Radiohead Vs. Pink Floyd.

The idea of a Radiohead b's/unreleased/live box would be much more attractive than the idea of a new album at this point, honestly

I heard they were changing their name to "The Carlyl Band". Any truth in this?

knives out was an old tune, retooled and reworked, and was released as a single. they could probably do the same with this other song. radiohead could like record bats flying out of a cave and people would be "shits genius, god, the part with the bats flying out of the cave! genius!"

That comes off their message board. Most people believe it was their cryptic way of saying the resigned with EMI. The post said if you can't beat em join em.

most Radiohead fans are lukewarm on "Knives Out" as best.

yah most radiohead fans want that hihg and dry, idioteque encore.

but yah i like knives out, it sounds real fucking layered. and that video is pretty kickass too.

I like Knives Out. That wasn't old song as much as one they spent 380 days on in the studio, Nude was played on the OK Computer tours. As great as it is I can't see how releasing it as a single would be anything other than a stick to beat them with.

Re-singing with EMI means we will probably have a GH of some kind by the end of 2007. This would be the best place to but things like Nude and Follow Me Around.

i JUST LISTENED TO NUDE, I HOPE THIS ISN'T THEIR NEXT SINGLE. IT'S KINDA BORING. RADIOHEAD SHOULD ROCK THE FUCK OUT MORE ANGULAR GUITARS YAAA

nude is big ideas and big boots is completly a different song

and as for the single matter

it won't be anything we have heard of yet, most definetly will not be a song they wrote 10 years ago

I wonder how much touring they are going to do. I hope they tour Canada and not jsut Toronto and Vancouver.

judging by songs like "last flowers" and "arpeggi" i think this album is gonna more like a Kid A meets Hail to the Thief hybrid

there doing 2 shows in toronto this summer

Yes, I hope it is like kid a. Is anyone as surprised as me that Nigel will not be producing this album? They claim it is to change their sound up...so who knows this could be another huge step sort of like the leap from ok computer to kid a. By the way I think kid a is the best radiohead album. alothough they are all great.

It's actually one of the best songs in their catalogue and I thk it's one of Yorke's best personal lyrics. Do you know what it's about caps lock boy?

i just want them to shock the shit out of everyone and create something crazy

Also their new producers back catalog is interesting. Bjork which is cool and Madona which is strange although some people claim she has had some cutting edge albums(although I am not a fan that seems a stretch)

I think haveing an orchestra come in for sessions on Nude spells a potential massive hit single on both sides of the atlantic.

that will never happen

ever

Where'd all these people/posters come from? You guys just lurk waiting for a Radiohead thread then jump on that shit?

yeah maybe, so get outta here wannabe

yeah that's bullshit. i was up to a couple hundred posts on the old board then wakingrufus done went and broke it to knock me down to 0 again.

I'm pretty sure if Nude was on a GH compilation and released as a single it would stand a good chance of being a number one in the UK. They've had #1's up in Canada. I think the song is strong enough to appeal to the casual fan. It wouldn't be a big hit here cos It wouldn't get on the radio. Modern rock chart though, It could happen.

sure sure



1. nude won't be on a greatest hit comp
2. they have had #1 albums, but what #1 singles in canada?
3. it wont happen

those are some huge generalizations there Bill. Knives Out kicks ass, and as awesome as b's/unreleased/live box would be, i'll be the first in line for a new album.

Knives Out is fairly tepid, and yeah, a B-sides comp is badly needed, except for awesome people who have Towering Above The Rest like I do.

Radiohead are busing having families, living life, etc. Can they pull out of "family mode"and make an edgy , interesting record? It takes a truly mad bugger to keep making good records after having some success.

That said, I hope the new album is quality.

What does it matter, where's the fat beat. if Thom delivers me a fat beat then I'm down with that clown, otherwise he can step off. If there a studio recording of nude? My version is admittedly a live soundboard, I dunno. Is this song really where it's at.

Well Nude is being worked on, I find it unlikely that they will drop it again unless it really isn't working. So it's going to be on the new album, unless it doesn't sit with the other tracks. Radiohead have never been afraid of leaving something an album if it doesn't fit and releasing it at a later date. High and Dry, Motion Picture Soundtrack, Knives Out, Pyramid Song, Cuttooth etc all where bumped to B-sides or worked on for inclusion on later albums. They also went back to older songs twice on OK Computer (Lucky and Exit Music.)

So if it doesn't fit the album they have a choice of B-side, put it back on the shelf or have it as a new track on a greatest hits CD much like the likes of Blur, R.E.M. and countless other bands have done in the past. If the album hits in September and they have re-signed with EMI/Capitol I would hazard a guess at GH being out for the Christmas 2007. They might want a catchy song that will get daytime play on Modern Rock/ European radio to help promit it. R.E.M.'s biggest hits in the UK are The Great Beyond (from Man In The Moon Sndtrack) and Bad Day (from In Time).

Radiohead had a #1 single in Canada with Knives Out in August 2001.



There are versions taken from quiter shows and mixed. It really is quite an epic song.

k if nude is released as a #1 single or on a greatest hits comp

i'll buy you a coke

I'll certainly buy a new album the day it came out, but the geek in me would be way more satisfied by hearing "Lift," "True Love Waits," "Meeting in the Aisle," "Fog," "Talk Show Host (Nelle Hooper Remix)" and "Big Ideas (Don't Get Any)" in the same place

download Towering Above The Rest niggaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, i'm pretty sure it has most of those songs, I dunno, my version is like 18 discs long and I've never listened to all of it.

I have all those fucking songs, but it is not OFFICIAL or PRETTY

I dig that. I remember way back before the Nirvana GH I had the You Know You're Right from the Aragon show, and still being excited when the studio version came. Same with all those demos and stuff off of the 04 boxset. Sounded so much better on there.

radiohead make music for people who think they are smarter than they actually are.

it's music for shallow people who like to think they're deep.

it's protest music for people who are more interested in protesting than in the causes themselves.

it's arty music for decidedly non-arty types.

it's music for people who care more about process than results.

i have no use for this band anymore.

You know, I haven't listened to Radiohead in awhile in fear of that I'll not like them if I listen to them now, what's worse is I know that new album won't be any good. It's inevitable.

I remember a couple years ago I was trying to get a good version of "Big Ideas (Don't Get Any)" but all I found was the B minus MSG version and a version that some nerd took off of Meeting People Is Easy, he actually had to edit out all the talking in between and paste the song back together, needless to say it was a failure. What version does everyone else have?

You should trademark these insightful genralisations.

well lets see

1. i definetly think i am smarter then i actully am

2. oh i am definetly shallow and hardly deep

3. i don't protest, cos i dont care

4. i am definetly not arty

5. i do enjoy the process in which radiohead works

seems i must have a lot of use for this band


thank you for figuring this out for me

copyright pending.

You forgot "it's music for kids who got sick of limp bizkit and borrowed their older brother's records".

Still waiting for Thom to write a rock song that "slays" you eh, Courtney?

well i dont have an older brother

so i refuse to accept this

I'm excited about an official, "proper" album version of "Nude/Big Ideas (Don't Get Any)/Failure To Receive Payment Will Put Your House at Risk". It guarantees that at least one song on the new album will be great. I don't understand the logic of being more excited to hear B-sides and rarities you've already heard vs. hearing new material.

For the people expecting it to suck, are you saying that Radiohead's been built up, so that almost anything they do will be a letdown? Or do you really think they're out of creative ideas? Maybe you didn't like Hail to the Thief that much, but name some bands who released albums that good ten years into their career.

And while it's pretty good, "Knives Out" is way down there on the list of Radiohead tunes.
