New Thom Yorke Album?
Any Radiohead fans hear about this?
Just got this email from the PR dudes at Nasty Little Man. Had no idea. Check out the website. Very cool...

Sean Daly is the pop music critic for the St. Petersburg Times. His CD collection -- from Journey to Dylan, Prince to U2, Public Enemy to Stan Getz -- is much bigger and better than yours.
I was encouraged, until I saw Yorke's reference to "beats & electronics", as opposed to the guitar-based tunes from OK Computer-era Radiohead. Worst case scenario: I have another drink coaster to complement my copy of "Kid A".

Yorke on his own, getting even more lost in his head with bandmates to pull him to safety, could be a disaster. I'll still check it out, but that's a fair warning, Guy.There's also buzz that Radiohead could be breaking up. But the truth is, they've been "broken" for a long time now.

What would be great is if I could Erase the memory of everything Radiohead has recorded since OK Computer. Thom Yorke and Radiohead are a sad story. The quintessential tale of art and commerce ending in tragedy.

Hail to the Thief is an excellent Radiohead album that was released in 2003. Absolutely no airplay or exposure in the USA, but well received in Canada and Europe. Obviously, American tastes in music are significantly different than other markets of the world.An observation, not a criticism!!!!!

No?, No!!!"Thom Yorke and me" might make a good title of my 3rd novel, but while I might compare favorably to the lazy-eyed one in terms of creativity and talent, certainly not in appearance, senor simian.
