Radiohead Team Up With Al Gore for NYE Webcast, Fall Out Boy Talk Maysles Documentary, John Mayer Muses on “Douchebags” and More

12/26/07, 2:49 pm EST

  • Tired of the usual Dick Clark New Year’s Eve fare? On December 31st at midnight, ring in 2008 with Radiohead and Al Gore. To mark the New Year’s Day release of the In Rainbows CD, Gore’s Current TV will broadcast a pre-recorded yet still-unseen performance of Radiohead playing their new album in its entirety, as well as some surprises (including a hinted-at Siouxsie and the Banshees cover). Like the band’s “thumbs down” webcast, the New Year’s performance can also be seen at Radiohead.tv at 7 pm EST, or midnight U.K time, as well as at Current.com at midnight EST/9pm PST.
  • Following the shocking revelation that Gimme Shelter and Grey Gardens documentarian Albert Maysles was working on a Fall Out Boy film, Pete Wentz says the doc will examine “how the industry is changing” by focusing on Wentz’s Decaydance Records. The film will also document a year in the life of Fall Out Boy.
  • According to the Ouija Board video on his Web site, Nick Cave and his Bad Seeds have a new album, titled Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!, coming out on March 3rd.
  • Still searching for that amazing post-Christmas gift? Ghostface Killah recommends, or rather demands, you pick up your very own Ghostface Doll. Call 213-455-1493 from a “pay phone, cell phone or a jail phone.” Operators are standing by.
  • Check out John Mayer’s blog-sized analysis of the most popular word of 2007: “Douchebag.”

Ummm . . . help me out here, I’m a little confused. Aren’t you the same person who called Al Gore a “piece of shit” in an earlier post (the first one labeled Anonmous)?

It’s highly likely that you have some kind of split personality disorder.

The truthsayer | 12/28/2007, 12:02 pm EST

Anyone trying to discredit Al Gore for talking about the issues in question. criticizing him by suggesting that he was not the first one to discuss the enviornment is a moron. Let me remind you that essentially he was the first mainstream politician, or well known world figure to discuss global warming AND WHEN HE DID HE WAS CASTIGATED BY THE RIGHT AND BY PEOPLE WHO WERE JUST IGNORANT OF THE SITUATION, they tried to paint him as a flake/hippy, Bush senior referred to him as “the ozone man”, get your facts together before posting. And as for the dope who asked why didnt Al Gore get G and R to play Chinese democracy ” instaed of radiohead?:

A: Axl probably would not have shown up

B: Chinese Democracy is a piece of boring garbage which you will say “I waited 15 years for THIS”? when you hear it

C. Anyone who prefers Guns and Roses over radiohead clearly did not finish high school, or is possibly 14 years old..which one are you?.

Here endeth the lesson.

“that is the problem with our (the
country…dumbasses like you are the problem with our country.”

The way you have a wild hair up your ass about Al Gore and how you go and on and on about everything, you don’t even sound like a United States states citizen!

WHY COULDN’T GORE GET GUNS n’ ROSES TO PLAY “CHINESE DEMOCRACY” AT MIDNIGHT SO WE ALL COULD REALLY ROCK IN THE NEW YEAR

I hate the excuse for al gore’s hypocricy that he “helped us realize something rather important.” What, other people weren’t talking about it before?

If waiting until you saw al gore’s movie was what it took for you to finally pay attention to global warming then you are a dumbass.

(the 1st) anonymous is right | 12/28/2007, 12:19 am EST

anoyn #2, your use of the term neo-con shows your ignorance…you think everybody that disagrees with liberal ideas is in some theological think tank aimed at undermining our country. Rather, I’m a liberal that simply doesn’t think al gore is worth the toitet paper I wipe my ass with. I think the whole “movement” would have been much better off with a different front man, that’s all. Fuck you for making blanket assumptions about me; that is the problem with our country…dumbasses like you are the problem with our country.

I wasn’t degrading Al Gore in any way. In fact, through humor, I was defending him. Maybe you should take a night course in reading comprehension. Fuck it, forget it, you still won’t understand because you’re a humorless dolt. Fuck off outta here!

Metal Max | 12/27/2007, 5:12 pm EST

I love how some attribute good deeds(i.e. informing the public of our world’s peril) to a personal agenda. Al Gore helped us realize something rather important, Metal Shawn - regardless of his motivation. But thanks for reminding me that schmucks still exist.

What’s the hell is this supposed to be?

“ok, so I’m syched about the radiohead webcast…but why the fuck did they have to do it with al gore.

I understand and respect the environmental issues represented and disected by “In Rainbows”, but why go on that hypocrit’s show? Al Gore doesn’t REALLY give a shit about global warming, or he would have done something WHEN HE WAS VICE FUCKING PRESIDENT!!! Instead, he waits until he has no power, can make a quick buck off freaking people out. THat piece of shit Gore STILL hasn’t stopped flying around the world in a private jet”

There’s a hell of a lot more to the game than just cursing and using lots of CAPITALIZED WORDS. It has to be funny and creative. This is just a lot of cursing and capital letters. Kinda obnoxious, really. Sorry.

P.S. UAW/MF left a present for you in your yard.

My two cents says I have it on good word that Al Gore’s message should not be ignored because the neo-cons would like us to believe my buddy Al is a hypocrite. He is not.

http://heartlanddiaryofbetty b.blogspot.com/2007/06/al-gore s-green-nashville-home.html

H e has spent decades trying to get this message across at his own time and expense with little recognition. Finally when the water is lapping at our porch, we pay a bit of attention to our own survival

UAW/MF | 12/27/2007, 1:36 am EST

Hey Mr. Gore, what do you want us to do with these metal drums full of toxic waste?

Ah, why don’t you just throw it in that asshole’s yard next door.

(radiohead on the other hand practice what they preach. Hence the no air shipping for the discbox (since I’m on vacation, mine is waiting for me when I get home.) Radiohead can pretty much do whatever they want, but this is the first time in my life I’ve been disappointed with their decisions.

That being said, and rtanting aside, I’ll still tune in.

can’t wait til the webcast, GO RADIOHEAD!!!

Yep. John Mayer definitely defines the word!

Jughead | 12/26/2007, 4:20 pm EST

All right! When I’m blitzed off my ass and hallucinating from all those drugs I plan on taking New Year’s Eve it’s gonna be great to ring in the New Year and bug out to some new Radiohead! And what a better band to listen to when wasted than Radiohead! I should be nice and toasted once midnight rolls around, so their new album should be sounding mighty fine. Yeah! this is shaping up to be a fucking cool New Years!
