Westboro Baptist Church Versus Radiohead

March 12th, 2012 By Mof Gimmers

Ladies and Gentlemen, you may well embark on feelings you didn’t know you could have in this article. Strange, uncomfortable feelings that will confuse and nauseate. Effectively, you might end up agreeing with the Westboro Baptist Church.

It seems that members of the WBC have taken it upon themselves to become music critics (as well as infamous critics of homosexuality).

The notorious bible bashers decided to?protest outside a Radiohead gig in Kansas yesterday and they let their mouths run for fun.

Mystical Thom Yorke Foretold The Demise Of R.E.M.

October 26th, 2011 By Matthew Laidlow

2011 is the Chinese Year of the Rabbit but don’t let this complete non-sequitur?put you off. Musically, this year has seen an alarming trend of bands reforming for reunion gigs. Or putting things into perspective; one final payday so they don't have to remortgage the houses and get day jobs in motorway service stations. Where they may, or may not, sell cuddly rabbits.

There has been no shortage of bands announcing their triumphant return to the musical arena. Only yesterday, brotherly duo Orbital released a list of UK dates, though to their credit they are releasing a new album, but hopes aren't high after hearing new single ?Never.? It's free for reason.

One band however decided to buck the trend of 2011 and called it a day. Poor REM, after appearing on Sesame Street nobody took them seriously. It was almost like people bought their records because Kermit the Frog threatened to butcher Miss Piggy?s insides following their appearance [That’s not the right show – Ed.]. Nobody was bothered by the news, but it's emerged that the split has been on the cards. Just ask Thom Yorke.

Thom Yorke Continues His Quest To Destroy Electronic Music

August 7th, 2012 By Matthew Laidlow

Radiohead are without doubt, the kings of bringing out albums without giving anyone any prior notice, making fools giddy to lap up cod-experimental rubbish. If Thom Yorke farted in a cup, it’s guaranteed that fans would snap-up overpriced limited edition copies on ten inch hemp vinyl.

People dreaming of Yorke releasing solo material that sounds like The Bends and OK Computer might as well leave now.

Thom Yorke is acting like a baby again, digging his heels into the ground and trying to convince people that he can produce electronica that he's heard on labels like Warp, Planet Mu and JBO. During a guest slot on the Mary Anne Hobbs show on XFM, he dropped a new track called?The Twist? as part of his ?Money Back Mix.? And regrettably, you can hear it over the jump.

Radiohead Sexually Arouse Their Fans With An Unreleased Live Track

June 22nd, 2011 By Matthew Laidlow

Unlike Muse fans who all collectively whine and moan, you can place Radiohead fans in to a few different categories. The majority fall under this tag that know nothing but Creep from debut album Pablo Honey and also wonder why it rarely gets played. Your traditionalist Radiohead fan will refuse to listen to anything after OK Computer, due to the band seemingly shunning guitars for electronics.

This literally divides the third set of Radiohead fans who love concept of fusing two sounds together to make something new.

Of course, there will always be the hardcore fan who owns every album and EP, including the pricey Japanese editions with no extra content. Recently, the band released The King Of Limbs, their eighth album. Noticeably shorter than previous efforts, fans have been speculating over future content that may arrive.

Radiohead To Release Invariably Turgid ‘The King Of Limbs’ Later This Week (Muse Already Copying Ideas From It)

February 14th, 2011 By Mof Gimmers

Radiohead are delightfully obtuse aren’t they? Those crazy guys gave an album away for very little money (good thing as it was of very little quality) and Thom Yorke has an eye so low down his skull that he can tickle his Adam’s Apple with his eyelashes.

And now, totally toying with our preconceived notions of what a band should do, maaaaan, they’re releasing a new album called ‘The King Of Limbs’ on February 19th.

That’s this Saturday! They didn’t let us know months in advance! Because they’re like that! That’s just sooooooo Radiohead isn’t it? ISN’T IT? You guys! If they were any more edgy, our heads might actually explode with kaleidoscopic tedium.

New Moon: The Movie That Will Stop You Liking Radiohead

July 21st, 2009 By Stuart Heritage

The worst thing about Twilight was probably the music. No – Kristen Stewart. No – Robert Pattinson. No – everything.

But the music was pretty awful. Fake-angsty nonsense, all of it – from that Linkin Park song that sounds like the Self Harm preset on Fred Durst‘s old Casio to two songs by Paramore, presumably included so that people would remember Twilight as the movie with the really crappy soundtrack in case the rest of it turned out forgettable.

But the New Moon soundtrack is going to be different – Thom Yorke from Radiohead wants to appear it. We really wish we were joking.

Thom Yorke Not Such A Fan Of EMI

March 25th, 2009 By Stuart Heritage

Thom Yorke is a happy soul – his hobbies include puppy-stroking and riding around meadows on a bicycle going "Wheeeee" – but EMI seems to have somehow done the impossible and made Thom Yorke a bit miserable.

Thom Yorke and EMI boss Guy Hands are in the middle of a war of words about why Radiohead left the record label. According to Hands, Radiohead wanted a £10 million advance for In Rainbows and control of their old albums, while Thom Yorke is claiming that the band just wanted to make sure their back catalogue was treated correctly. The emotional impact of this public bickering is thought to have already taken its toll on Thom Yorke, and has made him ditch plans for his forthcoming Europop collaboration with Same Difference from X Factor called A Very Merry Radiohead Party Fun Time.
