Yorke: Life of the party

The following is from CDNow’s Miss Truth gossip section:

It’s not called music’s biggest night just for the trophies — GRAMMY Awards night is also about the parties. Here’s a rundown on some of the night’s post-show happenings:

Radiohead’s Thom Yorke was the life of the party over at the Park Plaza Hotel, where EMI/Virgin celebrated its GRAMMY Award wins by Lenny Kravitz (his fourth win in a row for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance for “Dig In”), Coldplay (Best Alternative Album for Parachutes), and Janet Jackson (Best Dance Recording for “All for You”).

Yorke wasn’t stumbling around or anything, but it did appear that he and the wine had been engrossed in some deep GRAMMY Award discussions, given his uncharacteristically happy disposition!

Nigel Godrich & Beck

The original genre-hopper, Beck, has teamed up with Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich to work on his upcoming album. The pair previously worked together on Beck’s 1998 acoustic departure, Mutations, which was recorded in around two week’s time. According to NME, sources close to the singer say that Beck hopes to have the same type of work schedule on the new album, about a song a day. As previously reported, Dan the Automator has also been working on the new album, which has yet to be named or given a release date. Beck took time out from working on the album on Tuesday (February 26) to take part in a benefit for the Recording Artists’ Coalition in support of of Senate Bill 1246 – legislation to repeal California Labor Code 2855 that excludes recording artists from 1987’s “Seven-Year Statute.” At the event, Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke made a surprise appearance, joining Beck for a show-stopping rendition of the Velvet Underground’s “I’m Set Free.”

Captive State

Thom Yorke is quoted on this site about George Monbiot’s book Captive State – The Corporate Takeover of Britain. Here’s the quote:

“After reading Captive State, I will never be able to take the Labour government seriously again.”
