Thom's album is very listenable. It's a lot more electronic than most of Radioheads work, lots of beats and computer stuff. It's not really strange like Kid A or Amnesiac, just a good electronic record. If you are going to listen to the album, make sure you get the extended mix of Harrowdown Hill as well, it's amazing. (that one is on Spitting Feathers EP, which does have some strange stuff

)
I think the best European festival probably is Glastonbury, but I've never been there. Tickets always sell out in one day or less.

Reading/Leeds usually have pretty good lineups as well. In North America, I like Lollapalooza as well. As for other European festivals, I don't really know (there are just soooooooo many). I've only been to Dutch festivals so far and they are usually okay but not great.
I should actually be sleeping, so goodnight!
