8/17 New York @ Liberty State Park 5/16/2001 Colin talks to Wall of Sound about plans for the NEXT album - after Amesiac, and some comments on their Kid A/Amnesiac release. found at followmearound.com "We've talked about doing a guitar album next," Greenwood reports. "The reason we did these two records is to show that anything is possible rather than everything is expected; the last thing we wanted to do was go into the studio and make another version of OK Computer. My best guess for the next album is a combination of Amnesiac with more guitar music. But the most important thing is, it's song-based music rather than sort of instrumental, non-lyric based music. We try not to insult or bore the intelligence of our audience, because we're aware their tastes are moving on as well as ours with music, and it's exciting to be part of that."

MI5, which is famously secretive and unaccountable, is involved in intelligence work to investigate and counter covertly organised 'threats'. These include terrorism, subversion, espionage, serious crime and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
Talking about the 'Reclaim The Streets' protests last year, Yorke claimed the authorities were closely monitoring protesters. He told NME.COM: "I know some stuff about MI5 that would shit your brain. But I can't tell you, 'cos they'll do it to me, too. Seriously. And I'm not winding you up, either."
Thom Yorke has broken his silence to give a rare interview, which will appear in next week's issue of NME (May 15). The singer, who has not spoken to the paper for five years, explained his decision to relent. "I just got sick of holding grudges basically," said Yorke. "Enough's enough, it's boring and I can't be arsed any more, really."

4/7/2001 Radiohead Touring
Info found at wall of sound: http://wallofsound.go.com/news/stories/radioheadpreview031501.html Radiohead will tour to support the album [Amnesiac], starting on the West Coast in June, heading to Europe in July, and returning to the United States in August. 4/7/2001 Amnesiac track comments
Info found at cdnow.com: http://www.cdnow.com/cgi-bin/mserver/redirect/leaf=allstararticle/fid=255580/from=sr-117124 "Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box" kicked off the session with a trippy, dance backbeat and a pounding kettle drum (or, perhaps, drummer Phil Selway was literally banging on a kitchen pot). Yorke's vocal was mostly distorted throughout the track, weaving in and out of indistinguishable (in this setting, at least) sampled vocals.
"Pyramid Song" creeped up next, as a piano-laden intro quickly gave way to a minor howl from Yorke. A lush and stormy backing track persevered throughout, giving off the impression that the band is symbolically lost at sea. When the drums kicked in, the song almost became a big band-era jam (more on that later). As the crowd at Plush became lost in the track (many folks were seen with their eyes shut, as if in some sort of trance), a large, overpowering orchestral crescendo rose and fell, bolting those lost in the music back to reality that this is Austin, Texas, not a Pentecostal sermon.
"You and Whose Army?" slightly recalled OK Computer in that Yorke's yearning vocal cry of "Come on, Come on, Come on" repeated over and over somehow felt a tad like "Karma Police." A crunching organ and string section drives the track, which falls under lilting and poetic.
"I Might Be Wrong" then seemingly came out of left field, with its bouncing, blues guitar intro and almost country-western feel. Heads were bobbing and feet tapping at Plush for the first time during the session, and had it not been so crowded, some interpretative dancing may have broken out as well. The tune, an interesting and expertly executed clash of creaky, American roots rock and U.K.-based indie dance, ended before the dust had even cleared.
A busy, cymbal-driven intro spilled out next as "Dollars and Cents" rode a wave of outlandish instrumentation in the same vein as Kid A, if not harsher. Standing out above the sonic mess, however, was Yorke's bird-like call, which wailed throughout.
Last but certainly not least was "Life in a Glass House," another surprise from a band from which nothing seems surprising anymore. Beginning with an atmospheric loop and clanging church-like bells, the song quickly morphed into a New Orleans-style, big-band rumpshaker. Fueled by a horn section that included a clarinet, a trumpet, a trombone, and who knows what else, "Glass House" would have served well as a time-travelers glimpse into the Third Millennium during a 1930s Mardi Gras ball.
And with that, it was over. Some people were left puzzled, some ecstatically satisfied, but one thing is clear. On half of Amnesiac at least, Radiohead has once again not bowed to expectations or modern conventions. Fans will find the effort, due June 5 on Capitol Records, more analogous with Kid A than The Bends -- no surprise as the album was recorded during the same sessions as the former -- and every bit as unexpectedly chilling.
