Weeks of back to back interviews clearly take their toll. If you want to hear a man who has simply had enough of the whole promotion circus – or was it the relentless questions about death? - listen to Chris Martin walking out on Radio 4’s Front Row this week. Still, he remains impeccably well mannered as he asks if he can take two minutes cos he can’t answer the questions.
Not content with hooking up with Modest Mouse, guitar-for-hire Johnny Marr finds some more friends – this time joining REM to play a version of the classic Fall On Me during the band's encore in Chicago last week.
Radiohead have played many inspired covers over the years – Ceremony and Cinnamon Girl come to mind. Now you can catch Jonny and Thom running through Portishead’s The Rip backstage. And the track, from Portishead’s Third album, lends itself surprisingly well to the treatment. This is the first of a themed bunch of covers in which the band will perform tracks by bands ending in ...head. Next week it's Machinehead, then Motorhead and Diamondhead. Ah ok, maybe not.
