RADIOHEAD ON THE TELLY AND THE SILVER SCREEN
LOS ANGELES FANS: Tune in to the PBS/KCET pledge drive this Saturday, December 8 at 11:00pm to watch footage from Radiohead’s performance on Jools Holland.
Plus Radiohead mix with Tom, Penelope and Cam D in Cameron Crowe’s new film “Vanilla Sky.” Get a double dose of Radiohead when the movie, featuring “I Might Be Wrong” and “Everything In Its Right Place,” makes its way to theatres on December 14th. “I Might Be Wrong” will also be included on the soundtrack, in stores December 11th.
In the January 2002 issue of Spin, Radiohead were named “Best Live Act.” Here’s the article:
Radiohead mean different things to different people. But to the American record- buying public, Radiohead still means ace Anglo guitar bombast and choked-up balladry, not synthesizer loops and drum machines. So while Radiohead the “band”? spent most of early 2001 doing whatever the hell they wanted, Radiohead the “sound” struggled on without them. Americans a little tired of Kid A-ing around, discovered a shelf full of alternatives. Among the bands willing to be Radiohead because Radiohead didn’t want to be Radiohead anymore were:
Travis (Radiohead but nice), Coldplay (Radiohead but sincere),? Doves (Radiohead but vaguely funky), Muse (Radiohead but not that good), David Gray (Radiohead for your mom), and Clinic (Radiohead for Radiohead). At the dawn of summer, with the new Radiohead album Amnesiac selling well though puzzling fans further, the situation seemed irreversible. But soon, all that changed. An anxious nations concerns were washed away nightly during Radioheads triumphant late summer tour of arenas and rave-like venues. Icy swaths of synths gave way to Jonny Greenwood’s roaring guitar and brother Colin’s rollicking bass. Newer songs particularly the frantic “Idioteque”? and the blistering bottom heavy “The National Anthem”, rocked like classic Radiohead. At New York City’s Madison Square Garden in August, as the pulsing final notes of “Everything In It’s Right Place”? receded all “halteration” (as Mary J. would say) was extinguished along with the last cigarette lighters. The name of the band’s late- 2001 mini live album-I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings- seemed apt. So, rock ‘n’ roll duly saved, and principles intact, Radiohead the “band” jetted off to Bilbao to play with their Moogs.

Radiohead was named “Most Wired Musician” in the December 2001 issue of Wired magazine:
“Radiohead continues to turn rock music on its head, using synthesizers, polyrhythms, stark production techniques, and distorted vocals. Beginning with the band’s landmark album, OK Computer, Radiohead pushed firmly-grounded rock in the direction of techno-electronica. These wayward impulses and experimental sounds are what the fans are crazy about.”
The episode of Later With Jools Holland that Radiohead appeared on will air on KCET (Southern California) on December 8 at 11pm PT.
Courtney Love, in an interview with the NME, had this to say about Radiohead:
Are The Strokes really saviours? You seem obsessed…
“I’m going to pretend they are until it comes true. The Little Engine That Could. ‘I think they can, I think they can’. If their follow-up sucks I am so dead. I have bet the farm on them and damn I hope they pull through. I spent three hours on the phone with a radio station program director, banging his head until he finally admitted that he fucking hated Limp Bizkit, but that it was Radiohead’s fault, not his. Okay I’m going to say it and all of Britain will hate my guts, but Radiohead! Fuck ’em for not bailing us out of this bullshit. OK, Thom, yes, yes, we admit it. We wrote off ‘Creep’ as a pretty good song in the wake of Nirvana, yes we did it, we did it, we all did it. We didn’t rate you for the genius you are. We are at fault! We didn’t recognise your genius until it was too late but do you have to make us feel your pain? Can I show you the shit people say about me every day? Why? Why promise me salvation with ‘The Bends’? Why promise me salvation with ‘OK Computer’ and then leave me? Leave me and my entire generation and, even worse, the generation underneath me with a fucking single-note Moog? ‘Kid A’ was number one in this country ‘cos a bunch of little kids heard their older brothers and sisters saying ‘Bizkit?’s wack, Radiohead rules” and so they ran out and bought ‘Kid A’ and now they will never trust us again. How could you take one of the greatest guitarists in the history of rock’n’roll and not let him play? Fine, you satisfied yourself and you left us with Fred. Thanks. Thanks, buddy. I know those nice musty rooms in Oxford have really cool 16th-century books that American trash like me couldn’t dream of understanding but could you write a fucking rock song that slays me? Yorke, you must come through for us, I’m begging you, I’m on my knees, please, please, please! Hey, I like Korn though. I liked At The Drive-In before we lost them. And System Of A Down and Rage Against The Machine. I like man music for man people. But the little girls, they need something too. Something they don’t have now and they gotta like something.”
