Thom the roadie
Their is an article up at Chart Attack about the Beta Band touring with Radiohead. Here’s a snippet:

When they did the first Western leg of the tour with Radiohead they were so financially destitute that their tour manager didn? have a cellphone. This left publicists stranded when trying to contact them for interviews. They couldn? afford roadies either and MacLean said that problem was solved by, “Radiohead help us out with roading. They move a lot of our equipment on stage for us. Thom Yorke carries Steve? [Mason] guitar on stage every night for him. They?e quite muscly. You wouldn? think it, but Thom Yorke? a tough wee guy.”

Olympic anthem, Terry Gilliam

There is an article at music3w.com about how Radiohead has been asked to pen the 2002 Olympic anthem. Here’s a bit:

Says Yorke: “We’re tempted, but there’s so much sponsorship and advertising involved, and I don’t want Radiohead associated with some cigarette brand that sponsors the Olympics.”

In the same interview Yorke says the dream soundtrack he would have loved to do would be for Terry Gilliam’s surreal classic, Brazil: “I would get down on my knees and beg Terry Gilliam to let us do the soundtrack to that movie.”

How did Colin spend his birthday in San Francisco? The SF Chronicle knows!

“The British rock group Radiohead celebrated band member Colin Greenwood’s 32nd birthday at Lapis in San Francisco on Tuesday. Executive chef Thomas Ricci cooked vegan food for lead singer Thom Yorke; he was rewarded with a menu signed by all the band members.”
