Radiohead Rack Up Google Hits With "Nude" Single
Host animated video contest; Liars, Underworld to open North American tour?
Come March 31, UK fans of Radiohead will have the opportunity to get "Nude". The single (what else would we be talking about?) for the string-saturated In Rainbows standout arrives that day via XL Recordings in three delicious formats: CD, 7", and digital. Depending on the format you choose, you could be treated to B-sides "4 Minute Warning" and "Down Is the New Up", both culled from the second disc in the In Rainbows discbox.
There's also talk of a "Nude" remix contest, details forthcoming. And speaking of contests, the Radioheadz have another, separate one for all the aspiring animators out there. Radiohead's U.S. label TBD, Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, and cartoon networking site aniBoom are inviting folks to submit storyboards for a music video for an In Rainbows track of their choosing. Ten finalists will be selected and given $1,000 to produce a one-minute clip, and the party responsible for the best of these gets $10,000 and the chance to make their Radiohead video, which Adult Swim will premiere. Can you top this? How about this? Contest details here.
Finally, on the Radiohead live front, the band has firmed up a couple of those Japan dates and will play a special BBC Radio 2 gig in London on April 1 (no foolin'). Fans must apply for tickets to that one via Radio 2. Last but most assuredly not least, sources are reporting that Liars (!) will open the first leg of Radiohead's North American tour. While unconfirmed at this time (and can we ever truly confirm anything concerning a crew calling themselves Liars?), that pretty much rules like no other. Rumored to open the second leg: Underworld.
