In a recent interview, indie rock musician Ben Lee had this to say about Radiohead:
Q: Hi Ben. Just a quick question. Have you heard the new Radiohead albums ‘Kid A’ and ‘Amnesiac’? If yes, what do you think?
BL: I haven’t heard Amnesiac yet. I enjoyed Kid A. I have a lot of admiration for Radiohead as it’s fun to see artists challenging themselves and their fans. Plus, they’re good looking.

Meanwhile, in an interview with Q magazine, Peter Buck of R.E.M. was also asked about Radiohead:
What do you think of Radiohead?
They?re great. They?ve saved their career by not making the same record over and over again.

You may have noticed a change in the layout and design of the news page. We have changed the way we will report the news by using new software (GreyMatter) that will make it much easier to produce news about Radiohead.
You may notice the search box to the left. That is new and you may find it useful to search for older news. As of now, all news before today are not searchable but are archived so you can view them. We hope to have those indexed to be searched very soon.
In the near future, we plan on offering GP visitors with PDAs (Palm, etc…) to view a special PDA-only version of GP news on their PDA. It’s still in the works and nothing has yet been set in stone. There should be some more news on this soon.
Radiohead were featured in this month’s BBC Music Magazine. The magazine features almost entirely on classical music, but in the internet section in an article titled ‘Making a case for new Music’, Radiohead had a mention. The whole passage (written by Paul Lay) was quite long, but here is a section of it concerning Radiohead:
‘…yet where does that leave the many who thirst for the new, who seek the sounds of their own age that reach beyond the banality of so much pop? And, if you doubt that many exist, take a look at the splendid website of the band Radiohead, hardly a marginal voice (it topped the album charts on both sides of the Atlantic), where it urges fans to listen to influences, such as the music of Krzysztof Penderecki, or the Seventies experimentation of Miles Davis. Hardly mainstream fare.’
