Radiohead is celebrating the anniversaries of the band’s fourth and fifth albums, Kid A and Amnesiac, with a joint reissue project alongside a new album titled Kid Amnesiae.

For the multi-format triple-album release, dubbed Kid A Mnesia, the rock band will commemorate the 21st anniversary of Kid A, which originally came out on Oct. 2, 2000, via Parlophone and hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and the 20th anniversary of Amnesiac, which was first released on May 30, 2001, via Parlophone and Capitol Records and peaked at No 2. on the Billboard 200. Kid Amnesiae is made up of alternate versions and B-sides of Kid A and Amnesiac as well as previously unreleased songs that were recorded during the sessions for both albums, including “If You Say the Word,” which was released as a digital single on Tuesday (Sept. 7), and “Follow Me Around.” Kid A Mnesia will be released on Nov. 5, 2021 via XL Recordings.

“We humbly submit KID A MNESIA to you. It’s a coming of age for Kid A & Amnesiac and it’s joined by a new album, Kid Amnesiae, a memory palace of half-remembered, half-forgotten sessions & unreleased material,” the band wrote on their official Twitter account. “All three come out together on November 5th.”

Kid A Mnesia is currently available for pre-order here in various formats, including the limited edition Kid A Mnesia 3xLP cream vinyl with a 36-page hardback art book as well as the limited edition Kid Amnesiette 2-cassette (Kid A / Amnesiac on tape 1, Kid Amnesiae on tape 2) with five B-sides from the era and a 36-page booklet. The triple LP set will also be available as a limited edition red vinyl 3LP, black vinyl 3LP, 3xCD and more.

On Nov. 4, the day before Kid A Mnesia’s release, lead vocalist Thom Yorke and the rock band’s longtime artistic collaborator Stanley Donwood will release two books that recall the artwork from the era — the 300-page Kid A Mnesia art book and Fear Stalks the Land!, a black-and-white paperback containing their notes and sketches — via Canongate.

BTS looked prep-school cool for their smooth, just-released performance of “Butter” at the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge.

The never-before-seen clip, which BBC Radio 1 saved for September’s Live Lounge Month, made its debut on Monday (Sept. 6).

The BTS ARMY enjoyed the musical treat to start the week. The top comment on YouTube summed up their reaction: “BTS vibing to their own songs is everything. I can literally watch this on repeat.”

For the Live Lounge, BTS also sang “Dynamite” (in the same outfits that they wore for “Butter”), “Permission to Dance” and a cover of Puff Daddy and Faith Evans’ “I’ll Be Missing You”; those performances were already released in July. (Watch them here.)

Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor debuted a frightening new mask at Rocklahoma 2021 in Pryor, Okla., on Saturday (Sept. 4).

Slipknot’s appearance at Rocklahoma marked the rock band’s first live show since performing at Hartwall Areena in Helsinki, Finland, in February 2020.

“Good to be back. Thank you, @rocklahoma,” Slipknot captioned a photo on Instagram showing the skeleton-like mask.

The annual three-day Rocklahoma launched Friday with other performances by Rob Zombie, Halestorm, Mastodon, Steel Panther, Andrew W.K., Puddle of Mudd, and others.

In May, Taylor gave fans a teaser of what to expect from his latest creepy mask during an interview with Des Moines, Iowa’s LAZER 103.3.

“The mask has been a part of us forever,” the singer told the radio station. “The mask is king. And for us, especially people like me and Clown and the guys in the band that really allow those masks to evolve, it’s important for it to be a reflection of who we are in that music. And I can tell you that the mask I’m working on is very disturbing.”

He added, “It’s gonna be hard to look at. And it’ll probably be my favorite mask that I’ve ever put together. It’s little bits and pieces of things that have intrigued me, of masks that I’ve had in the past. And it’s gonna have a devil-may-care kind of terror to it, let’s put it that way.”

Last month, Taylor revealed he was battling COVID-19 even after being vaccinated. “I woke up today and tested positive and I’m very, very sick,” he said in a video posted Aug. 20 on Facebook.
