Red, Blue, Green…

Radiohead has a new video up on their site deadairspace that was supposed to air on The New Year’s Eve/Scotch_Mist webcast for “Videotape”, but it got cut out due to transmission problems.  I was watching it and thought to myself how this is such a new chapter in Radiohead’s career and life. They seem reborn, refreshed, and yes, actually having fun! Thom Yorke has come out of his shell and helped us see a side to him that, until now, has pretty much been closely related to their own song “How To Disappear Completely”.  It inspires me to see how they’ve worked this album and promoted themselves, not sticking to the traditional, droning, all business, record labels that make us completely sick with how they’ve pretty much sucked every ounce of creative soul out of the true artists and musicians and left us feeling like music has become recycled garbage.”I’ve heard that song before, and before, and before, and…”  So even if you don’t like Radiohead, you have to respect what they’ve done for all of us musicians and fans of music - given us new hope!
