Radiohead guitarist Johnny Greenwood has told Paste Magazine that the band have finished recording their new album, saying: "We just had a meeting about that today. We're very relieved to have finished recording, now we have to decide what we should do with it". Err, release it, Johnny?? Mustn't get too excited, mind, because, as Greenwood noted, and as we've previously reported, Radiohead are currently sans recording contract so aren't working to anyone else's schedule on any album release.
Elsewhere, Greenwood is embarking on another solo adventure, with Pitchfork reporting that he will be composing original music for Paul Thomas Anderson's latest film, 'There Will Be Blood'. The 'Magnolia' director has lined-up the guitarist for some more orchestral compositions, which will follow his learning curve as the BBC's composer in residence, as previously reported. For those that need to know, the film will star Daniel Day-Lewis and is apparently inspired by Upton Sinclair's 1927 novel 'Oil!', and is an oil baron thriller - whatever that may be.
