i did a few quick covers today. they were recorded in one take with me recording vocals and piano/guitar (depending on the song)at once. Vocally it gets off key, because it's something i struggle with a lot musically

Radiohead's Thom Yorke To Play Secret Show At Glastonbury 2010 Add to My Fav Bands List

Thom Yorke will play a secret set at the Glastonbury festival this weekend, Gigwise understands.

 

An on-site source said that the Radiohead frontman will perform later today (June 25), although it's not clear on what stage.

 

UPDATE: Gigwise now understands the performance will take place at 8.30pm on The Park Stage.

 

Radiohead and Yorke's producer Nigel Godrich has already been spotted on the festival site this morning.

 

The band's management company had not responded to an email request for comment when this story went to press.

 

The Glastonbury press office refused to comment on the speculation.

 

Gigwise will be coming live from the festival all weekend, so keep checking http://www.gigwise.com for the latest news, photos and interviews.

 

You can also follow the action on our Glastonbury page, as well as on Twitter and Facebook.

also more rumors courtesy of atease is that Radiohead (I think everyone) and Nigel have been spotted there too... so it should be interesting

Radiohead's Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood played a surprise set at Glastonbury this evening (June 25).

 

The pair performed on the festival's Park Stage after being introduced by Michael Eavis.

 

"Welcome to the biggest surprise of the weekend," the festival organiser told the crowd. "There's two superstars I'll not name them but they're right here."

 

Seizing the moment, Yorke told the swelling crowd "Hi, my name is Thomas Yorke," as he kicked things off, playing 'The Eraser' solo on the piano.

 

"Been in the studio all week with my first band," he then told the crowd before building a loop around a funky bass riff for 'Harrowdown Hill'.

 

He followed that with 'Black Swan' though had to restart the song once jokingly cursing "fucking amateurs!" at his slip.

 

Greenwood then joined his bandmate onstage, playing keys on 'Cymbal Rush'.

 

The pair then both played guitars on 'In Rainbows' track 'Weird Fishes/Arpeggi'.

 

'Pyramid Song' followed, with Greenwood taking a violin bow to his guitar while Yorke returned to the piano.

 

'Idioteque' saw the duo drop beats - mixed with a sample of an HGV's reversing alarm - which got the now giant crowd dancing, before they played an acoustic version of 'Karma Police' triggering a mass singalong.

 

With the crowd singing the song's "I lost myself" lyrics after the track had finished, Yorke then picked up his guitar and joined in with his audience.

 

He then launched into the band 'Street Spirit (Fade Out)'. "Have a brilliant festival every one," Yorke told the crowd as he left the stage, "see you guys later."

 

Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood played:

 

'The Eraser'

'Harrowdown Hill'

'Black Swan'

'Cymbal Rush'

'Weird Fishes/Arpeggi'

'Pyramid Song'

'Idioteque'

'Karma Police'

'Street Spirit (Fade Out)'

 

 

 

 

 

OMG

Is it Mark Knopfler? No, it's Radiohead's Thom Yorke at Glastonbury 2010.

 

Radiohead fill the Glastonbury festival rumour slot

 

Would it be Coldplay? Or Pearl Jam? Or maybe even Cliff Richard? No! It was (half of) Radiohead, with a rather brilliant stripped-back acoustic set

 

Glastonbury potentiates rumour. In the pre-internet era, that was because the site felt weirdly cut off from the rest of the country. In the absence of news from the outside world, myths stepped in to fill the gap. So it was that in the mid 1990s, every Glastonbury was beset by the story that Cliff Richard had passed on: quite why the Peter Pan of pop was singled out for an annual exaggerated report of his death remains a mystery. The proliferation of mobile phones and internet access has at least put a stop to people telling you Cliff's snuffed it, but it's made the situation different, rather than better. No sooner have the mysterious words "special guest" appeared on the bill than half the festival takes to Twitter and the message boards to speculate wildly. By mid-afternoon today, the site was awash with increasingly demented suggestions as to who might fill the blank 8:30pm slot on the Park stage. Paul McCartney was going to play. So were Biffy Clyro. And Coldplay. Actually, Paul McCartney and Biffy Clyro and Coldplay are going to have a jam, possibly with Pearl Jam. It's going to be a Pearl Jam jam. And so it went on.

 

By 8:30pm, there were still people staring at the Park stage in eager anticipation, without actually knowing what they were going to see, a state of affairs not much helped by Michael Eavis's introduction: "Two superstars are here! And I don't need to introduce them because you can see them!" Unless you're at the front, you can't see them, but it turns out to be Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood, performing a stripped-down set.

 

If you can't see them, you miss one of the more remarkable sights that Glastonbury 2010 has to offer: Thom Yorke of Radiohead, playing a slap bass solo while wearing a headband. Admittedly, he's playing a slap bass solo while wearing a headband and performing Harrowdown Hill, his spectacularly upsetting song about the suicide of Dr David Kelly, but nevertheless, it's a sight that would once have seemed as incongruous as Yorke flying around the stage on wires and playing a saxophone while the rest of Radiohead did the Madness "nutty" dance to Exit Music (For a Film).

 

Once the surprise that two members of Radiohead are playing unannounced – and one of them apparently doing it dressed as Mark Knopfler – dissipates, there's the faintest sense of anticlimax. The first handful of songs come from Yorke's solo album, The Eraser: Balc Swan and Cymbal Rush sound lovely, but with the best will in the world, it's a pretty morose record even by the standards of a back catalogue hardly noted for its ROFLs. Things shift with the arrival of a stripped-down, delicately lovely version of Arpeggio and the peerless Pyramid Song. Street Spirit and Karma Police provoke a singalong. On Karma Police, it continues long after the song itself ends: as he did on the Pyramid stage in 2003, Yorke eventually relents and joins in. It feels like one of those much-vaunted Glastonbury moments: even the most vociferous Radiohead refusenik would be forced to admit that, as conclusions to Glasto rumours go, it's a vast improvement on discovering that Cliff Richard isn't actually dead.
