Ever wonder why this website does so many Radiohead-related stories? I’ll let you in on a little secret. It’s because, back in late 2006, Thom Yorke and secret fellow Leaders of the Free World Little League coach Dick Cheney bought TMT to use it as a mouthpiece for all things Radiohead and all things Republican baseball. That’s why I have a swimming pool with a retractable roof in my backyard, a personal chef, and a monkey butler dressed exclusively in Ralph Lauren all in the comfort of my own home.
JUST KIDDING! But this is, of course, another Radiohead-related story, this time about Jonny Greenwood. The Radiohead guitarist and Grammy-nominated composer will perform his white-noise-inspired piece “Popcorn Superhet Receiver” in Manchester, England on July 1 as part of an experimental night of music put on by ultra-hip indie promoter Eat Your Own Ears. So what can you expect, Lou Bega style? Well, how about a little bit of
• Avner Dorman in your life
• a little bit of Stravinsky by your side
• a little bit of Olafur Arnalds is all I need
• a little bit of Greenwood is all I see.
Yes! You can also expect Dorman and his Middle Eastern sounds, Stravinsky’s “The Rite of Spring” and Arnalds’ new album And They Have Escaped the Weight of Darkness, plus performances by the RNCM Symphony Orchestra, the RNCM Concert Orchestra, André de Ridder, and the DYAD Percussion Duo. No Bega, though, sorry.
