Radiohead

[Peter K.]

[I like Stereolab better, but Radiohead has some good tunes and they mention
Magnetic Fields as an influence in this article. Radiohead was formed first
and is better known but it's interesting how similar their names are:
Ster-e-o-lab and Ra-de-o-head.]

"Yorke and his mates are well-spoken, well-read, and unfailingly
polite—once, when an opening act trashed its hotel room, Radiohead was found
out to have snuck in afterward to tidy up. The group shuns the spotlight,
avoids drugs, groupies, and other temptations of the road, sprinkles its
tour diary with references to Christopher Hitchens' latest articles in the
TLS, and passes copies of Naomi Klein's No Logo  out from the stage. Yorke,
who recently became a first-time father, used his royalties from "Creep" to
buy a house—it has a 25-year, fixed-rate mortgage—and the band has set aside
enough money to start their own label in case Capitol drops them (an
unlikely prospect no matter how esoteric their records get)."
