“On August 23rd 2009, a group of Radiohead fans descended on the Výstaviště Holešovice Exhibition Hall in Prague on a mission to capture the band playing using as many different angles as possible. Bringing together the exceptional talents of many contributors, here’s a glimpse of the result.”

The footage was shot by 50 people using Flip cameras. Radiohead provided audio masters to the makers of this DVD, shot on 23 August 2009.

Series 3 of Merlin starts September 11th. After an eye-rollingly bad first season, the second season was surprisingly good. Fingers crossed.

Kasabian supported U2 in Germany. The laddish posturing of the band’s singer was a bit much. This song was the only one I thought vaguely palatable.
