通过微博，Radiohead希望能跟中国的音乐人、歌迷有直接的交流，并且推广自己今年的新专辑《The King Of Limbs》。他们十分想知道专辑在中国的反响。今年将有两场Radiohead的演出[6]分别在北京、上海举行。

The famous English music band Radiohead, which is currently greatly popular, has opened today a Sina micro-blog, and published the first post "testing the weibo". Chinese Radiohead fans are highly excited, and cannot believe this is true.

By opening the micro-blog, Radiohead hopes to communicate directly with Chinese musicians and fans, as well as popularize its new 2011 album 'The King of Limbs'. The band is very curious about the response to the album in China. This year there will be two Radiohead concerts held in Beijing and Shanghai, respectively.
Since the first time Radiohead went on stage in 1987 and until today, completing 24 years, it has published 8 albums altogether, and has won the Grammy and Brit awards. They have numerous fans worldwide, and each of their albums is a classic. In the beginning of the year they have published their new album 'The King of Limbs'.
