first posted on Treefingers by Miro · rewritten for the archive
Radiohead's music has been heard on Danish and British television six times in under a month. DR, the Danish public broadcaster, is advertising the new look of its news with the opening of “Planet Telex”. The bass intro of “Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box” was heard briefly in the episode of Nip/Tuck that Channel 4 showed on Tuesday 24 August.
Sky One's trailer for its new series Deadwood uses “Hunting Bears”, the instrumental from Amnesiac.
The latest came on Sunday 12 September, when BBC Grandstand played “Nice Dream” under its interview with the Paralympic champion Tanni Grey-Thompson.
