Third Eye Blind’s Stephen Jenkins recently mentioned Radiohead in an interview he did with MTV:
“I feel like I’ve come out of my dark period,” he said. “I feel really romantic about the life that I’m living again and everything seems fresh and exciting. I heard Thom Yorke [of Radiohead] say he wasn’t interested in rock anymore. Well I am, and I’m still moved by it. I’m interested in creating these musical emotions and conditions that are real, and that you can step into.”

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.”
