Radiohead — Best Of

Now that Radiohead have completed their contract with EMI it seems the label is looking to squeeze the few final pennies out of the art-rock powerhouse's fanbase before the entire CD industry kicks it for good. First came last year's all-encompassing "no release left behind" box set, and now that's been slimmed down to a bite-size 17...

Radiohead Cause Rainbows

Friday marked the seventh time I've seen Radiohead and, for a number of reasons, it may have been the best show I've seen them perform. But this show also had a few interesting subplots, both for myself and the other 16,000 or so in attendance. Here are three short stories about the Radiohead show: The Blackout The last time Radiohead were...

Lollapalooza 2008: Day One With Radiohead

This was Lollapalooza's fourth year in Grant Park and my fourth year attending. As I've mentioned in previous years, Chicago is the perfect locale for a major festival: It's a reasonable distance from east or west, north or south, so it draws fans from all over North America. Lolla's organizers have been working every year to improve both the...

Jonny Greenwood

Barely a single review of Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood has neglected to mention Jonny Greenwood's accompanying score. In the film, the Radiohead multi-instrumentalist's work gives the proceedings a heavy sense of dread with a haunting, modern touch. The question, as with all instrumental soundtracks, is whether it holds up without...

Special Feature Review: Radiohead's In Rainbows

There's only one major problem with Radiohead's self-released seventh effort, and it's not with the music. The issue I have is that it's not so much a record as it is a social experiment. The day after its release, there were countless stories about how much people paid and infinite reviews from every listener who shelled out...

Radiohead Back In Command

There are no bands more competitive and calculating than Radiohead. They release a stellar record, tour it for a year, then disappear for another two. Then, just when you almost forget about them, they throw together a tour like this one, playing elegant theatre spaces and selling out every city in a matter of minutes. It's as if they simply...

Jonny Greenwood — Bodysong

At last report, Radiohead were seen drifting further and further away from their guitar glory days circa OK Computer. Depending on your feelings towards Hail To The Thief, you have resident musical anarchist Jonny Greenwood to partly thank or blame for the band’s new musical direction. For the score to the experimental film Bodysong, Greenwood...

Radiohead — Kid A

A Dark Side Of The Moon for Generation X. Sounding like an extended version of the Beatles "Revolution 9," Kid A's got all the bleeps, buzzes, fade-ins and outs and haunting vocals that won't make any bloody sense unless you've just smoked some of that wacky tobacky. Give Radiohead some admirable points for releasing a highly-anticipated album...

The Drums are back with a sophomore album called Portamento on Sept. 13. Regardless of what it'll sound like, Manic Street Preachers bassist Nicky Wire will probably still say there's "no soul in that band." The third in Radiohead's series of 12-inch vinyl remixes of tunes from this year's The King Of Limbs is out "in two weeks." Yeah, there's no...
