Thom Yorke debuted a new song at Latitude yesterday (during a solo set at noon, weird non?).  Not a great video, but I quite liked the song, simple yes, but still.

Thom Yorke - The Present Tense

He'd be a great addition to the Electric Picnic lineup

The new track sounds interesting, if no great departure. I had a real soft spot for 'The Eraser' and would be very curious to hear another solo album from him.

That Latitude festival is really evolving into something. Last year's line-up was jaw-droppingly amazing. And then they have all that fringe non-music stuff. Poetry and film and literary tents to make you feel smug and elitist when you want.

I've never been a Radiohead fan (apart from kinda liking parts of 'Kid A') and this song would fit onto their last couple of albums alright. But I agree with the gaffer; 'The Eraser' was an interesting album.
