Radiohead announced on Dead Air Space that the band will be playing some dates in Italy and Germany next Summer:

Also, here are the first set of shows in Italy and Germany that we are planning to do – very excited to be announcing these, and keep an eye out for more updates.

June 30th Hyppodrome Capanelle Rome
July 1st Parco Delle Cascine Florence
July 3rd Piazza Maggiore Bologna
July 4th Villa Manin Codroipo (Udine)
July 6th Wuhlheide Berlin

The Italian dates are on sale now, and the Berlin date will be on sale on 26th November.

To purchase tickets for the Italian shows, go here. As always, we’ll let you know when more dates are announced.

Also, some additional TKOL remixes have been released that weren’t included in the vinyl release. Colin writes:

Hello! Here are three remixes by Anstam, Nathan Fake and Jamie xx that sadly didn’t make it in time for the vinyl release – we wanted to get them out because we’re big fans and wanted you to hear them too. The tracks will be available to buy here on Monday.

W.A.S.T.E. released a small block of tickets to fans early this morning and they sold out pretty quick. Unfortunately, they do not pre-announce exactly when this happens so all we knew in advance was that it would be some time today. If you weren’t able to secure some, you still have a chance when the general sale starts on 11/12, except for the Tampa show which goes on sale 11/19.

Please check out Radiohead’s tour dates page for all the information you need about how to purchase. Good luck!

We recently received an email from Luke Bainbridge, one of the founding editors of Observer Music Monthly, letting us know about a special cause that may interest you hardcore Radiohead fans. Luke writes:

“My four year old niece was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour earlier this year, and a charity trust fund has been launched to help raise money to help pay for treatment in Texas. Ed heard about the campaign and extremely generously gave us the guitar he used on Kid A and Amnesiac, and toured with up to In Rainbows to auction for the charity.

The charity website is www.billiebutterflyfund.org“

Click here for the auction.

The guitar is a white Fender Telecaster, as seen in the picture to the right. Even more cool is that all five members of Radiohead signed it.

A note by Ed accompanies the guitar and it reads:

To whoever ends up with this Tele…

It was bought in the summer of ’98, just prior to us going into record the albums which came out as Kid A and Amnesiac. It was pretty much the only guitar I used at that time. It’s also been gigged a lot, up until and including the In Rainbows tour.

Hope you enjoy it – all the best

Ed O’Brien

If you’d like to own it, check out the auction and get to bidding! It’s a great cause and we’re happy that Ed and the rest of the band were able to donate the guitar.

While we are talking about collaborations, we should mention that Thom and Jonny recently collaborated with DOOM on a track called “Retarded Fren” for a compilation celebrating the 10th anniversary of Lex Records called Complex. The song samples  “Proven Lands”, a track Jonny did for the There Will Be Blood score.

You can listen to the track over at Pitchfork

If you haven’t seen it, check out the video of Modeselektor’s “Shipwreck” which is one of two songs off their new album, Monkeytown, that Thom Yorke collaborated on. Enjoy.

Aaaand we’re back from a short break…

While we were gone, it was announced that Philip Selway would be doing a couple of solo shows in Oxford this month. The Radiohead drummer writes on Dead Air Space:

Hello

Next month, on the 10th and 11th November, I will be doing a couple of shows of my solo material at The Pegasus Theatre in Oxford to mark the start of their 50th Anniversary. I’m a patron of the theatre and these shows are fundraisers to support the fantastic and really valuable work that Pegasus does in providing access to the creative arts for young people. It’s a wonderfully intimate place to see a show, so if you fancy coming along, I’d love to see you there. Tickets cost £25 and are available from my store here:

I’ve been running this site for 14 years now and it’s been quite an experience. Every now and then, I reluctantly ask for your support to keep the site running. Server costs for both greenplastic.com and mortigitempo.com are expensive, and relying on money from ads only covers a fraction of the costs. If you’d like to make a contribution via Paypal, I’d definitely appreciate it. I’m trying to pay for a year’s worth of serving costs so any amount is welcomed.

If you can’t donate, no worries. Your continued support by visiting is valued just as much.
