one phil of a surprise

A group of generous Chileans thought they were just meeting with a Radiohead manager to welcome the band to Chile, but then had the surprise of a philtime. Phillover Coni was there and reports about the meeting:


At the hotel, we sat down and started chatting and suddenly one of my friends looked somewhere, shocked. I turned around... and Phil was there. I'm still shocked. He was absolutely amazing, so calm and educated.

Oh yes, the cupcakes I made... Phil wasn't going to share with anyone.

Occasionally Jonny stops taking self-portraits long enough to capture the genius behind Radiohead.

What price did you choose?

Recently a survey was made following the release of Radiohead's 7th LP, In Rainbows, where people shared information on how much they had payed for the album.

Here are a few examples of what people said:

£40.00 (United Kingdom)
Discbox. I've never come across a Radiohead album that i didn't like so i
don't think i'm taking much of a risk paying full whack. I think other artists
who think they've got a massive fanbase (50 cent for one) still wouldn't have
the balls to do something like this, besides it's not really about the money
with Radiohead and that's what i respect about them. I've bought many albums
this year which i regret, paying about a tenner for 3 good singles and umpteen
shoddy/rushed/lazy 'filler' tracks is a joke.

£2.50 (United States)
I payed 2.50, but I'm still undecided about getting the
discbox. If I don't, I'll pay them more. If the album's especially awesome, I'll
pay them even more. I love the concept of 'tipping' a band, being able to show
support in a more intimate way, even for a band as big as Radiohead.

£2.00 (United Kingdom)
the price they would receive through standard distribution of their record
after the appropriate deductions, plus a litte bit more (i think)

£0.00 (United Kingdom)
I'm not even sure I like Radiohead, I found OK Computer really hard going.
So I'm taking a (free) punt and seeing what it's like, either I'll become a new
fan or continue on my way.

£7.00 (United States)
pay up. this means more than just a price of a cd.

£3.00 (United Kingdom)
Seems like a fair price with low overhead of distribution. They're happy,
I'm happy, we're all happy.

£0.01 (United Kingdom)
I'm going to get the box set later in the year, so I don't feel guilty at
all paying 1p for it.

The survey has been closed now and various magazines have used its results.

If you didn't get a chance to participate in the survey The Phillovers would be delighted to hear how much you payed in the comments for this blog.

Thanks to Phil McKenna for the tip

Due to global warming and the war in Iraq, we haven't been able to update this blog. We have now though.



After VAlthough Daniel Craig did ok as James Bond, Phil could replace him in the next Bond movie. And we can see why.





San Fransisco to Amsterdam
As best dressed member of Radiohead, Phil tries to influence the other band members. It's going in the right direction, but it's clearly not perfect yet.




There's a debate going on about this picture. Some people think it's Phil himself, but we from The Phillovers are convinced this is a wax statue that will be revealed at Madame Tuso in a couple of days.

When Phil goes surfing, he doesn't use a surfboard. He uses a rock. Phil likes vintage.




Winter 07
People are whispering that Phil is urinating in Ed's shoe. Phil is a very tidy man and he would never do such a thing.





Studio photographsHe clearly lost some weight. He's watching/learning how to play the piano it seems.




A big fan of the congoesAfter Thom stole his drums, Phil had to settle for congoes. He's still the best looking member by far though.

Phil posts on Dead Air Space again

Late tonight Phil posted these seven pictures on Dead Air Space from "the seaside and elsewhere"



Pictured above is Ed trying to find his long lost pet seahorse.



Nigel Godrich (producer) hopefully speculating the release date of ep7 with Jonny. This is no time to talk about the weather.



Jonny sitting in the studio, looking pretty.



Ed and his plant sit in studio, looking pretty as well.



Colin likes rock and water. Especially when they are together.



Phil titled this picture as "shadow of my former self". The man keeps getting slimmer. Looking good there, Phil.



Stanley, supposedly painting new artwork for Radiohead's upcoming release. It looks wonderful and reminds of the Kid A and Amnesiac landscape artwork.

Radiohead at Sziget Festival, Budapest: An encounter with Phil

On her trip to see Radiohead at the Sziget Festival in Budapest, Hungary, the lovely 27 year old Natasha tells us the story of how she met Phil :

We were walking around city all day.One of the bridges across Danube was closed for traffic and we decided to go there. There was a lot of things going on, from folk dancing to preparing food. There in the crowd i spot Phil. He was with some friends. I started shaking. My friends thought that i should aproach to him but i was to scared. So we followed them accross the bridge.When we reached the other bank, Phil noticed that im staring and gave a a big smile. My friend aproached to him and told him that i wanted to talk to him but that im to shy. He looked at me and said "awwwwwwwwwww" biggrin.gif. That was so cute. So he gave me his autograph and we talked a bit. I told him that i brought some drawings and a letter for Thom. He was all like "oh cool you can give it to me then" ----but you see im an idiot. I didnt have them on me.I have left them in the bus........im such an idiot. So i aked him will it be possible to give it to Thom after or before the gig and he said something like "Yeah,it is possible,but it does not depend on us but the organizers. If they would let you in. We would." And i said that ill try. And he said OK. So he took my hand and told me that hes glad he met me, i said the same and he went off. After that, i had the feeling that everything is just perfect. I thought that i was gonna explode from happiness.

thank you, Natasha.

Phil talks to Billboard!

After the first show in New York(June 13th) Phil speaks to Billboard
He said the band is aware that fans are flying in for the shows from all over the U.S., due to the brevity of the tour and its concentration in major markets. "Plus, we are playing so many new songs", he said. "We are very lucky that our fans will allow us to do this".

He also confessed being a fan of Thom Yorke's The Eraser and confirmed that there is no fixed date for LP7 to come out to the market, due to the fact that they have no contract with a label yet.

(More of Phil's sexy biceps. Tight black shirts suit him and accentuate his class.)

Thanks for the great pics, love tchock!

New pictures posted on DAS.

Here's one of the photos posted by Jonny on Dead Air Space.
On this one, all of us can notice that Phil works out and enjoys fully drinking coffee.
First, the booty shaking and now giving us some bicep action. Phil is tight, fit, and surely shows now what a 'Mad dog' is all about !

Sit & enjoy:

Biography

Philip "Phil" James Selway (born May 23, 1967 in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, England) is the drummer of Radiohead. His precise timing and varied drumming helps to give the band its distinct sound. He is a year older than the other members in the band and people think he's unkind because he's bald. Of course it's not true, but that's why the other members of the band call him Bald Member (~bandmember). He joined Radiohead because their primitive drum computer broke down and they couldn't afford a new one. Before Radiohead became succesful, Phil studied English and history at Liverpool Polytechnic. He had worked for various touring musicians and worked as an English teacher as well. Phil has a wife, Kate, and three sons: Leo, Jamie, and Patrick (to whom Kid A, Amnesiac, and Hail to the Thief were dedicated, respectively).

Unlike bandmates Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood, Phil has not had much involvement with projects outside of Radiohead. Nevertheless, in recent years he has taken a more active role in collaborating with other artists. He has been associated with the Samaritans as a devoter and member for years. Phil also performed with the band Dive Dive in March 2005 and appeared in the film Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as a member of the band "The Weird Sisters" along with Radiohead bandmate Jonny Greenwood and Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker.
