From the BBC: Radiohead have been moaning about the state of the music industry. They’re particularly fed up with all the singing reality TV shows and how the contestants are groomed – saying they’re trying to make them all 40 year-old stars like Annie Lennox.
Jonny and Thom really rate Alex Parks whose single ‘Cry’ is out this week, and say it’s a shame she could only get a deal through appearing on ‘Fame Academy’: “She’s got a ******* great voice and if this is the only way she can get out to people it’s a shame because there’s really something going on there and people will dismiss it because it’s that.”
“If that’s the only way to get exposed now then there’s something seriously wrong with the music industry.”
“I’m against the safety of it all. The industry sort of eating itself whole seems to be depressingly pointless.”
