Radiohead Start Blog, Track Progress of New LP

Here's a little internet history for ya: back in the day when weblogs were just diaries about whining about your breakup, online journals were almost entirely comprised of Radiohead lyrics and pictures of one's cat. Now that Radiohead has started their own blog, Dead Air Space, to document the creation of their new album, the internet world is about to see some closed loop, snake-eating-its-own-tail shit that could cause a second big internet bust, if not the destruction of the entire space-time continuum.

The band is recording in an as-yet-undisclosed location. In the first week of the blog's existence, all five bandmembers have already posted to it; except for Thom Yorke's entries, the posts consist largely of photographs. Sunday's entry from guitarist Ed O'Brien reads in part, "So here we are in studio recording and it feels right. its only day 4, its really early days but really good things are happening....lots of deconstructing and reassembling. we've been working on mornin' m 'lud and pigsee." We are informed elsewhere on the site that the second song O'Brien refers to, "Pigsee", may also be called "Pig's Ear". Beyond that, the blog contains scant reference to Radiohead's music, choosing to focus on photographs of a dog, a man in a crown making a rude gesture, and someone stroking a potted plant.
