Radiohead recording their next album

Radiohead are back in the studio, recording the follow up to their 2007 album In Rainbows.

Colin Greenwood told BBC, "We just went in last week," bassist Colin Greenwood said. "It was really good. It was really noisy and chaotic and really fun. We're at the stage where we've got the big Lego box out and we've tipped it out on the floor and we're looking at all the bits and thinking, what next?"

This will be the band's eighth studio album and will be recorded with their long time producer Nigel Godrich.

Radiohead and Adele win Grammys

UK's Adele has won 2 of the 4 Grammys she was nominated for, picking up Best New Artist for her debut album 19 as well as Best Female Pop Performance for Chasing Pavements, which she performed live at the ceremonies. You can hear a radio performance of some of the tracks from the album here.

Chasing Pavements


Radiohead also won 2 awards earning Best Alternative Music Album and Best Boxed Or Special Limited Edition Package for In Rainbows. The band performed the track 15 Step from the album at the awards, backed by the USC marching band.

M.I.A. missed out on Record of the Year for Paper Planes, losing out to Robert Plant and Alison Krauss (who?!). And despite her baby being due on the same night, M.I.A. went on to perform Paper Planes to an adoring crowd.

And it wouldn't be a Grammy post without some fashion shots:
