Thom Yorke

Thom Yorke denies the internet is the future.


Radiohead's frontman says his band always planned to release a physical version of In Rainbows and that to do otherwise would have been "stark raving mad"

Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has rejected the idea that the band ever intended to release their album In Rainbows exclusively online, claiming that to have done so would have been "stark raving mad". Discussing his band's decision to allow fans to pay whatever they liked to download their seventh album, which was released on CD this week, the singer said it was important for a band to have "an object" that represented their music.
 
Yorke told the BBC's Today programme: "We didn't want it to be a big announcement about 'everything's over except the internet, the internet's the future', 'cause that's utter rubbish." Yorke also claimed the suggestion that the album had been downloaded 1.2m times was "nonsense", but declined to reveal the actual figure.

Radiohead signed a UK distribution deal with XL Recordings, home to Dizzee Rascal and the White Stripes, shortly after the digital release of In Rainbows in October, but not before their decision to effectively give away their music for free ensured it was the musical talking point of 2007.

Referring to this, Yorke said: "We have a moral justification in what we did in the sense that the majors and the big infrastructure of the music business has not addressed the way artists communicate directly with their fans." Added Yorke: "In fact, they seem to basically get in the way. Not only do they get in the way, but they take all the cash."
