Radiohead: "In Rainbows" NYE broadcast

So it's NYE. You have fifty-nine channels and nothing's on? Rest assured and tune in at radiohead.tv.

The brainchild of Al Gore, Current TV, will broadcast an exclusive commercial free, pre-recorded concert by Radiohead on January 1, 2008 at 12 am, Eastern Standard Time. The performance will be shown simultaneously on the global cable television network and their website www.current.com. This performance will also be webcast on www.radiohead.tv.
Radiohead will play the entirety of their new In Rainbows album, which was released this past October in a groundbreaking way on the Internet where fans could pay as much or as little as they wanted for the new release. Check out Kayceman's cogent examination of In Rainbows for more details. Lead singer-guitarist Thom Yorke also says the virtual concert will include "other bits," presumably selections from earlier albums but perhaps new material as well.
