Radiohead LP7

For those of us who wait with baited breath for the next Radiohead album there is some good news. The latest album has been officially confirmed as completed, 4 years after the last one. Quite why it took so long will emerge in pre-release interviews, I assume. The new album probably won't be released until next year. Exactly when is anyones guess. The band have fulfilled their contract with EMI and they now have to negotiate with potential suitors to see which record company will give them the best all round deal. Then there is the marketing. Early next year is the earliest optimistic estimate for a release. Boo.

On a lighter note, Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead and the BBC composer in residence has done another film score. The last one, for the film Bodysong, was amazing. I'm really looking forward to seeing 'There will be blood'. Question is do I listen to the score first and then see how the film fits to it or do I watch the film first and have the music forever associated with the images on screen? It's a tough one, fit the music to my imagination or listen to it with the intended visual accompaniment?
