Thom Yorke/Radiohead | Cambridge mp3s
As previously mentioned, Thom Yorke played a solo show in Cambridge a few days ago which included a number of brand new songs. At this point it’s unclear if these will end up on the next Radiohead album or if they are destined to wind up on another solo record from Thom. They sound a bit more Radioheadish to me and The Daily Mail seems likely to be a new title for A Pig’s Ear which appeared on the infamous Radiohead blackboard back in September 2005. But who knows, maybe Thom is working on another record that sounds nothing like The Eraser.
Thanks to Zane and Edgar over on At Ease there is a complete recording of the show. While the recording is a bit quiet you still get a great sense of what these new songs are all about…at least in these early, embryonic stages. I think Give Up The Ghost might be the pick of the bunch at this point. I love the way Thom uses loop pedals in the performance and wouldn’t mind Radiohead using this kind of thing more often on stage.
If you’d like to download the whole show you can grab it here if you want a lossless torrent while the mp3s are here. The performance of Harrowdown Hill is amazing is well worth the complete show download but if you just want the new stuff…

Been listening to this awesome bootleg almost non-stop since last week and two out of the three newies (“Ghost” and “MDB”) sound a bit too personal to be RH tracks. I loved most of the Eraser but I’ve been saying (more like, hoping) that someday Thom will go all Neil Young on us for a decade now. Maybe it’s closer than we think.
“Atoms” is spellbinding as well, it’s my favourite song off that album and this is the best version I’ve ever heard.
