Hello, from colin radiohead
You may have already seen it, but we're very happy to announce the birth of http://www.radiohead.com/, thanks to much work by many kind folk, especially Mel at W.A.S.T.E and Stanley Donwood. We're excited about it, because it's our site, and we're all going to contribute to it. To get to us, click on us, and choose a spinning bear.
Jonny's been taking photos at rehearsals, and Ed's been putting his words to the pictures in his new-songs diary.Thom's worked with Stanley on drawings and text some borrowed, the rest an open work-book as he puts lyrics together. Phil's been writing about local issues which concern him and us all, and I've been putting up my fave reads and listens, as we all work towards our new record. We'll change our contributions regularly, so you can see a part of what goes on, and where our heads are at, as we put the music together with Mr Nigel Godrich.
We've also opened our own store, called w.a.s.t.e on-line, which you can access through http://www.radiohead.com/ . There you can buy some lovely clothes, with designs by Stanley and Thom. You can also join our information service by clicking on join waste at the front of the store. This will be another way to give you news, as well as keeping in touch with you and you'll be able to change and maintain your own information, who you are and where you come from, as you see fit.
We're doing this because we want to try and use this amazing communication thingie to natter directly to you and not via any corporate third party bollocks with spinning car ads;.so we've also just started a Bulletin Board, which you can access through http://www.radiohead.com/ - click on waiting room. I've dipped a toe into its churning waters, and loved being able to talk to someone miles away about, er, when we're finally going to get a record out;.
Anyway, our site's still going to be protean and mushy, because we don't believe in straight lines, let alone straight links, and I hope you'll be patient as we learn to up load our obsessions onto you via this net.
Love colinx
