In an interview published in the Sunday Times today, Editors talk about Radiohead. All members of Editors were classically trained and united by their hatred of funk-rock bands such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers. All were captured by Radiohead’s OK Computer.
“Seeing Radiohead at Glastonbury in 1997 was mind-blowing,” says Tom Smith. “It changed the way I looked at music. Britpop was exciting, but I saw something in Radiohead that made me think a little more, touched me deeper.” Bassist Russell Leetch: “We’d like to headline Glastonbury. It might not happen – but the Chili Peppers can’t headline every festival for all eternity.”
Speaking of Glastonbury, Thom Yorke has been spotted attending the UK festival. And a headliner for next year’s edition has already been booked. Just sayin’.
