Mobiles Chirping, Plates Spinning, Sirens Singing:  Radiohead’s 21st Century Digital Noise

By Thomas Britt

Rainyhead

By Vijith Assar and Mehan Jayasuriya

When PopMatters sent two writers to cover Radiohead’s show in Virginia, we didn’t expect such divergent results. Mentally exhausting in a myriad of different ways, they report from the battle lines via text messages. Some things, apparently, shouldn’t be saved for a rainy day. [24 July 2008]

Radiohead

By Chris Conaton

Clearly, people are willing to travel long distances to see Radiohead play, and they now seem to be developing the kind of rabid fanbase that very few artists outside of the jam band community enjoy. [10 June 2008]

Radiohead: The Best Of

By Michael Keefe

Capitol actually does a respectable job of compiling Radiohead's strongest material from their first seven albums. [6 June 2008]

Various Artists: Exit Music: Songs for Radio Heads

By Dan Raper

Covers are a tricky beast. When, say, Jose Gonzalez covers the Knife, I'm fine with it. But the moment someone pulls an acoustic guitar to Radiohead, I feel a pain in my chest. [19 April 2006]

Radiohead: Kid A

By Christine Klunk

On Kid A, Thom Yorke uses his voice more as an instrument than as a vehicle for his lyrics. And it’s a beautiful instrument—mournful and keening one minute, pissed off the next, jubilant the song after that.

Radiohead: Hail to the Thief

By Scott Hreha

So even if Hail to the Thief isn’t the protest record of the decade, or OK Computer 2 as Yorke suggested in an interview earlier this year, it’s still an incredible album from a band that continues to redefine its boundaries.

Radiohead: I Might Be Wrong—Live Recordings

Radiohead

By Shan Fowler

. They eschew attention, yet they're media darlings. Reactions to their recent recordings are anything but lukewarm, yet they refuse to explain themselves. They transform studio-centric creations into live songs that are both towering and incandescent, yet they tour infrequently. [29 June 2001]

By Nicholas Taylor

With the release of the Pyramid Song two-CD single set, Radiohead has given us their first B-sides since those coming off 1997’s OK Computer.

Radiohead: Kid A

By Devon Powers

Kid A forces its patrons to submerge themselves into the wiles of noise, to work for melody and signifieds, to seek within and find something that wants, needs, and is able to understand.

Radiohead: Meeting People Is Easy [DVD]

By Sarah Zupko

Ultimately, Meeting People is Easy is a disjointed film with a meandering narrative that somehow succeeds despite its real lack of focus in capturing the chaos, pressure, and frequent boredom of the celebrity lifestyle.
