Said album might be appearing sooner than you think

Following in the footsteps of Radiohead, Trent Reznor (twice!), the Raconteurs, Gnarls Barkley, and himself, Beck plans to release his new Danger Mouse-produced LP quite quickly-- in the next four to six weeks, to be exact, according to MTV.com

Universal Music Group wouldn't confirm anything, but we discovered that one of MTV's claims is very much true: the new Beck album will indeed feature contributions from Chan "Cat Power" Marshall. Hopefully in a more notable capacity than Beth Orton on Midnite Vultures, eh?

In other Beck news, he's added a few dates to that summer tour of his since our last report. Oh, and did you hear about his new album? It's got Cat Power on it! [MORE...]

Reveal "Nude" remix data

What's that strange sound, echoing from over yonder? Why, it's the call of the wild Radiohead, who begin their global migration this very day, Monday, the fifth of May, 2008.

Scientists and so-called music journalists have been tracking the movements of the wild Radiohead for some time now, and they've determined this year's migration will commence in the West Palm Beach area of Florida. The wild Radiohead will spend a couple weeks wandering these lands until they've exhausted the region's supply of their primary source of sustenance, Radiohead fan dollars. Then it's off to Europe in search of the far more nourishing Radiohead fan euro, then North America again for the hell of it, and finally Japan, where the Radiohead fan yen is hard to beat. After that, in all likelihood, comes a period of hibernation.

Herds of wild Radiohead are known to travel in tandem with Grizzly Bears, Bats, and wild Angus.

And researchers have long gained insight into the ways of the wild Radiohead by analyzing residual matter left by the wild Radiohead's only known parasite: the Radiohead fan. These researchers will find their work more difficult, however, given the wild Radiohead's long-brewing vendetta against the scourge known as the "carbon footprint." We're not quite sure how the wild Radiohead managed to harness human technologies, but they've now...

Radiohead are appealing to fans to think about how they travel to and from shows.

Radiohead take to the road on Monday (via a plane, unfortunately) to start in Florida with the first show of their 2008 tour.

Following on from their posting on the 19th December and the commissioned report on touring and CO2 generation, weve developed a new section of the site that gig goers can visit: the most gigantic flying mouth for some time.

Here you can try out our carbon calculator and compare different transport methods for getting to and from the venue. The list of tour dates will give you public transport information where available, and where not, there may be venue incentives for car sharing. There will also be weekly postings from Radioheads production team on how the band has addressed their own touring carbon footprint and made it easier for fans to reduce theirs. You can discuss our successes and more importantly, our failings at waste-central, post up more local travel information where we havent and make friends with other people going to your show.

Hopefully see you on the tour!
