Radiohead chose not one but four winners for the In Rainbows Music Video contest hosted by aniBoom. They also threw in an extra $30k to give all four winners a cash prize of $10k each. 4
Where Radiohead goes from here remains an unanswered question. One thing is certain: the parameters have changed, and things will never be the same. Despite its capacity for abstraction, the Internet is a surprisingly intimate medium. When fans logged on to purchase In Rainbows, they weren’t dealing with some faceless multinational; they were a mouse click away from their favourite band. By allowing people to choose their purchase price, Radiohead put trust in its audience. Re-establishing that bond brought with it a lesson about what it means to make music in the first place. 3
OASIS frontman LIAM GALLAGHER has slammed fans of rival British rockers RADIOHEAD and COLDPLAY - branding them “boring and ugly”. The outspoken singer revealed he is cleaning up his act in preparation for his band?s forthcoming world tour, which kicks off in the U.S. later this month (Aug08). 5
Even before he took the stage to close out the inaugural New American Music Union festival, Bob Dylan cast an exceptionally large shadow over the proceedings. The fest, organized by American Eagle and presented around the corner from their corporate headquarters in Pittsburgh, featured an eclectic lineup whose musical DNA could all be traced back to the most American of genres: the blues. It was in the Roots’ hard-times funk and the Black Keys’ garage noise on Saturday night and in the barroom soul of Spoon, the space-hop of Gnarls Barkley and the muscular arena thump of the Raconteurs on Sunday. Dylan provided the first-person account of the early blues — a generation-bridging link to the past. 6
It can’t be easy, as an internationally acclaimed rock band, to keep things on a human scale. And yet, while the creation process was disjointed, In Rainbows is a refreshingly personal album that injects a welcome sense of soul into the Radiohead equation. 7
