With Radiohead and Thom Yorke tracks trickling out lately, I decided to put together an “album” and call it Wall Of Ice.  (If you didn’t hear, there was a rumor that Radiohead would be releasing an EP named Wall Of Ice earlier this summer.  You can read about that here.)  Here is the result (Note: Link 1 is where you can buy or download the song and Link 2 is where you can listen to it or watch a video of it):

01. Radiohead - These Are My Twisted Words [Link 1 - Link 2]
02. Thom Yorke - All For The Best [Link 1 - Link 2]
03. Thom Yorke - Feeling Pulled Apart By Horses [Link 1 - Link 2]
04. Thom Yorke - The Hollow Earth [Link 1 - Link 2]

Thom Yorke contributed a song to a new compilation.  The song is called All For The Best and the compilation is called Ciao My Shining Star: The Songs of Mark Mulcahy.  While I’m not familiar with the original song, Thom’s version sounds pretty cool.  Check it out.

Thom Yorke - The Present Tense (live at the Latitude Festival on July 19, 2009)

Thom debuted this new song during his solo set at the Latitude Festival.  The rest of the set looked like a good mix of songs from his solo album The Eraser and Radiohead songs.  Here’s the setlist (from Stereogum):
