Radiohead album title
In a very obvious swipe at George W Bush, Radiohead have decided to call their new album 'Hail to the Thief'. Expect the US website Hail-to-the-thief to get a lot of hits in the next few weeks, at least it'll remind us how dodgy that election was. Anyway, tracklisting is as follows:
2 + 2 = 5/ Sit Down Stand Up/ Sail To The Moon/ Backdrifts/ Go To Sleep/ Where I End And You Begin/ We Suck Young Blood/ The Gloaming/ There There/ I Will/ A Punch-Up at a Wedding/ Myxomatosis/ Scatterbrain/ A Wolf At The Door.
Did I mention I was lucky enough to get tickets for their Belfast show? Really looking forward to that.

It seems that the arrest has little to do with their political leanings, and more to do with a Texan petrol station attendant not liking the look of them and being jumpy enough to get the FBI on the case. "it's just the feeling in the country right now", said Bruce Adams from Kranky.
Meanwhile, they've put a new live recording up on the net, it's called 'Albania' and is available here

The NME has the exclusive on this story here.
I wonder if the tabloids will feature it as prominently as they did when he was arrested?
