There's something fishy about that video. First of all, it looks like it's been recorded with a phone camera off of a TV screen, with all the washed out colors and weird moire patterns visible at times. And the proportions look a bit stretched, as in the source material wasn't "proper" 16:9, but has now been stretched to 16:9. So maybe that's why Sean looks so fat?

I'm guessing some kind of possible manufacturing delay?

Or maybe Nicky found out that on 14th there are no big albums coming out so he lusts another no.1 album if theirs comes out that day.

Argh! Well at least it's the same month.
Edit: Wonder if it's the clothing production?

Kiwis and friends will be able to listen in full on Thursday afternoon

Where are the Radiohead lads these days? If anyone remembers that...

Wow. Actually that has softened the blow of another delay. By this process all the songs will be out as singles we won't need the album! (We will)

I'd wondered with these delays whether they'd realised that it should be Dear Steven rather than Dear Stephen on the cover and booklet, as had been picked up on here.

If only they'd called it Dear Moz

They've just been signing those art cards rather than the album cover or booklet, so no problem there

Might be shot of the video screen at the concert? Would explain the picture being slightly out of sync with sound.
