If This Week Wasn't Bad Enough For Noel...

Numerous sources are alleging that Radiohead are actually almost finished recording their follow-up to last year's surprise sensation In Rainbows. Umm...what? According to TheFly.co.uk, guitarist Ed O'Brien explained, "We've finished the main bulk of it, and we're off to Japan in a couple of weeks to finish it off." He went on to say, "First we came off tour to do some writing and we wanted to just carry on doing it because it was so brilliant. We're really excited about it."

A couple of things here. I'm pretty sure Radiohead had been on a pretty relentless touring schedule the entire summer. When did they have time to sit down and pen a collection of new songs? Secondly, if they did, and it apparently comes this easy for them, what exactly did they do during that four year lapse in between Hail To The Thief and In Rainbows? Answers please.
