Caption Competition: Jonny in an empty room

by on September 9, 2007 with 173 Comments in Radiohead News

So, Radiohead’s new album is now recorded, mixed, mastered and officially finished and apparently not released before the end of the year. The band have returned from their holidays and are now debating on what to do with the new record. In the meantime Jonny delivered the score for a new Paul Thomas Anderson movie, which actually IS out (just) before the end of 2007. We’ll have to sit and wait for more news… so here’s a caption competition to make it through the time… post them in the comments… (no winners, no prizes ;) )

    Jonny, through many years of musical
    experimentation, finally stumbles upon
    infamous “brown note.” When asked to
    comment on his discovery Jonny merely turned
    some shade of red and made haste to the
    bathroom out of which he emerged minutes
    later with a change of pants and smelling
    much better. Later Thom admitted to his
    insistence on the perpetual rolling of
    tape. Says Thom, “We have been trying to
    isolate the tonal colour so that we
    dont have a crisis on our hands the day
    the album is released. So, sorry for the
    delay folks. We are in the process of
    cleaning up Jonny’s mess.”

    Hmm.. what other ways can we utilize in our quest to further delay the release of our incredibly hungrily awaited 7th LP? I mean, our fans haven’ COMPLETELY forgotten who we are, right? AtEase still gets huge hit numbers, doesn’t it? Um… hello? Guys…?

    Damn, they ran away! Oh well; I guess I’ll just shop around online for some upcoming movie soundtracks to do, rather than work on finding a record label, even though we should Probably just release it ourselves.

Besides, the CD is dead – buried along with those annoying record labels that take ALL your money. Then we go on a world tour – making sure not to use Ticketmaster (the rip-off bastards), making our money on sold-out shows, selling a lot of cool unique merchandise and then releasing an official NEW live DVD made from all that wonderful footage that’s been locked in a vault somewhere.
