New RH book

Barnes & Noble is listing a May 1, 2002 release for a new Radiohead book called Radiohead: A Visual Documentary, which was written by Tim Footman, who apparently went to Exeter with Thom Yorke for 3 years. Here’s the synopsis:

With just about everything else around falling into the ‘Pop’, ‘Nu-Metal’ or ‘Rap / RnB’ categories these days, it’s a breath of fresh air when a band as eclectic, talented and downright as unusual as Radiohead, can still hold a market with such compelling music, providing the hope and risk taking that the music business needs to thrive. So with a huge fan base and new recruits joining the fold regularly, every new album selling more and more copies and the tours attracting bigger crowds consistently, the time couldn’t be better for a definitive biography and photo journal on the band. Radiohead – A visual documentary consists of a chronological documentary, in words and full color photography, put together by an early associate of lead member Thom Yorke. Never before seen images nestle next to facts about the band never previously revealed. With every other book about the band currently available being largely a critical opinionated text heavy work, this factual, informative and entertaining book is certain to become the favored work amongst fans.

Stanley Donwood article

The first issue of the new Bristol (UK) magazine Decode has an article about Stanley Donwood, who, if you don’t know, is the guy who works with Thom (Tchocky) on the majority of Radiohead’s artwork, album covers, website, etc…

Decode will hit store shelves in the UK on March 7. You can read a small bit about Stan and the article here.

Amnesiac Radiohead

Defense of Amnesiac

Taken from Metafilter:

John Darnielle has written a song by song defense of Radiohead’s amnesiac (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8/9, 10, 11), among other overly wordy and passionate music reviews, including many pleas for us all to learn to love doom/death metal.
