Radiohead news — both heavy and light

Radiohead are booked to play a show in Tel Aviv on July 19, their first time in Israel since 2000. Now, artists including Roger Waters, Thurston Moore, and Tunde Adebimpe (TV On The Radio) have signed an open letter asking Radiohead to cancel the show.

"We'd like to ask you to think again," reads the letter, which is also signed by non-musical figures including Desmond Tutu, "because by playing in Israel you'll be playing in a state where, UN rapporteurs say, 'a system of apartheid has been imposed on the Palestinian people.'" (Billboard)

Whatever happens with the Israel show, the band's legacy will be forever preserved in the form of a species of ant named after them. Sericomyrmex radioheadi are a species of Amazonian ant that were named for the band by the two Smithsonian scientists who discovered the species. "We wanted to honor their music," said one. "But more importantly, we wanted to acknowledge the conservation efforts of the band members, especially in raising climate-change awareness." (Pitchfork)

"Inspired in part by the adventurous spirit that fuels the culture of action sports, the show weaves acrobatics in a visually striking world driven by a stirring melodic score." A soundtrack album release seems likely, reports Pitchfork.
