time travel tuesday: radiohead in concert
In honor of fantabulous Radiohead guitarist Ed O'Brien's 39th birthday on Sunday, I am presenting some older live Radiohead tracks as well as a special birthday surprise. Ed, in case you didn't know, is the tall drink of water who was reportedly asked to join Radiohead due to his resemblance to Morrissey. No offense to Mozz, but Ed is much sexier. During the recording sessions that produced the works of art Kid A and Amnesiac, Ed provided the outside world information on the inner workings of the band, by publishing his diaries about the sessions online. These diaries are facinating, especially now that we know what came of that time. You can access those diaries here. Also check out the official band website and ultimate fansite at ease. You can also purchase Radiohead albums here

My God... why are your dates all fucked up, dear??? The National Anthem was premiered in 2000, not 1996. Thom didn't even have that voice in 1996... Packt like Sardines was played live in 2001 only. Finally, the KROQ Acoustic Breakfast with Radiohead was in 2003. You should check your sources again... :-(

I'm sorry, I realise now that I sound offensive... That was not my intention. :-)
awesome post!
I have had this happen to me too because I did not verify the release date from one source against another source. I even had the name of a song wrong--embarrassing!
