Former NIN Drummer Mentions RH

In a recent interview with The NIN Hotline, former NIN drummer Chris Vrenna talks about his new project Tweaker and mentions Radiohead:

Leviathant: People have been comparing your record to Radiohead’s Kid A; the comparison makes sense after some thinking, but I think there are differences in the production that set the two apart, when I listen to them. As far as producing this album went – do you spend a lot of time, erm, tweaking the tracks in a production environment such as ProTools (or Soundforge, or etc. etc.), or do you like to do most of the programming and twiddling live while laying the tracks down?

Tweaker: Well, first off, THANKS for the wonderful compliment of comparing Tweaker to Kid A. I do a bit of both, actually…I run beats, loops, etc through things and tweak as I lay it through ProTools. But I also do a lot afterward as well. It all depends on the track. I just sort of experiment as I go, and try not to repeat myself too often. The beauty of ProTools is that I can always go back to tracks and rework them.

Radiohead on VH1 Tonight!

Tonight you’re in for a treat! VH1 is airing the musical portions of the Arsenio Hall show in a series called Arsenio Jams and tonight they will be airing the performance of “Creep” Radiohead did back in 1993. This performance was their first ever on US television and you’ll get to see Thom with his long blond hair so you may want to send the kids to another room if they get frightened easily. Hehe…

The fun begins at 7:30pm ET and it will re-air later tonight at 11:30pm ET.

Pink Floyd on Radiohead

David Gilmour of Pink Floyd had this to say about Radiohead in a recent interview with RollingStone.com:

“When people say they hear Pink Floyd in a group like Radiohead, I don’t really see it,” he says. “It must be a burden for those poor boys being referred to as the next Pink Floyd — they deserve to be their own Radiohead. I think we’ve always stood out in our own category. I wasn’t a big fan of most of what you’d call progressive rock. I’m like Groucho Marx: I don’t want to belong to any club that would have me for a member. We’ve always plowed our own lonely furrow. Well, not so lonely, really,” he admits with a laugh. “It’s been well worthwhile.”
