Only Radiohead could inspire a private music conservatory to drop money on commissioning a team of internationally renowned jazz maestros to arrange a large selection of their tunes -- then assemble a large all-star ensemble to record the compositions. The Radiohead Jazz Project's takes on classics
Thom Yorke reveals he "frequently" thinks of ending Radiohead, and that his bandmates "just wait for to do it."
DFA Records is planning one heckuva 12th birthday party.
Nobody expected ‘The Bends’ from Radiohead. When the band’s second album was released in 1995, pretty much everyone assumed this would be the last we'd hear from the British quintet that gave us the grunge-era hit ‘Creep’ two years earlier. After all, Radiohead’s debut album, ‘Pablo Honey,’ wasn’t all that good, and their music had all the earmarks of a period band with one big hit.
‘Pablo Honey’ is the Radiohead album fans wish didn’t exist. From the start, the band’s 1993 debut was doomed for dismissal. It was preceded the previous year by the group’s first single, ‘Creep,’ which, at the time, seemed like just another song in a series of mopey alt-rock tunes that surfaced after Nirvana’s 1991 complaint-rock classic ‘Nevermind.’ Sure, it had that great chunky guitar-slashing assault before the chorus, but other than that, ‘Creep’ didn’t sound all that special.
