No rules again, here. This wasn't even a proper video, as Kid A had no singles. But Radiohead decided to make this so that the music stations had something to play. I've only ever seen this once, so it's pretty rarely on. It's a live show of them in a studio. True to their promise that they would not be making any videos for the Kid A album, this is simply a recording of a live show. It's quite different to the studio version, in sound. Since the band didn't like the idea of miming for a video, this was what they let out. It was very rarely aired, though. Thom sings, and also tries to dance. Ed has a guitar, for no reason. And shakes some shaker thingies... Colin plays a keyboard, Phil hits his drums. And Jonny plugs things into a wall... Indeed. Interesting to watch, if you can find it.

Michael Gondry describes his ideas 4 this promo in an Aug 2k1 article of REBEL mag: "In the video that I have just finished for Radiohead, Knives Out, I reconstructed my memories. It's an autobiographical video. Emma de Caunes plays the role of my ex-girlfriend and Thom Yorke interpretates my role. I received the record the moment we separated. The video, unlike the film, is all based on memory. All these images just came to me. I hadn't managed to have any others. I suggested them to Thom who agreed. It is the story of my girlfriend who had leukaemia and the time I spent watching over her in the hospital. She is practically cured now. The speed at which the illness progresses is horrifying..." "...In all their other videos, the band play the part of themselves, and have no real role to play besides being Radiohead... In this video, Thom plays the part of a different person, in a surreal world ..."

Location Near Liverpool Street Station. Director James Thraves London (Monday July 31st) Video shoot for just. Its being directed by this guy called James Thraves. He just sent us this idea on an A4 piece of paper. It's about a character who collapses in the street and then all these captions appear on the screen as if the songs been translated. Apparently. But there are three days of shooting and We're only for one so its pretty much out of our hands. Thats cool. Go stand on film set Strut around like a peacock making faces. Not a pig in sight. Good therapy.( Thom Yorke)
