carlsson, magnus: director 'Paranoid Android' video (1997). Magnus Carlsson is the creator of 'robin' animation series. when radiohead made contact three years ago, after they've seen Robin at a club in London, Magnus told them to call him again when they had something concrete. This they did a year ago and they really wanted him to make a video. Magnus got free hands and he got to choose song from the album. They suggested "Paranoid Android" but they were willing to change their first single release if he rather would take another song. His first choice was "No Surprises", but after listening to "Paranoid Android" a couple of times he choose it instead. - That song was actually my third choice, but it grew more and more. "Paranoid Android" has the style of a film and is based on three different elements so it came out to be that song after all.

clark, dwight: director of the videos for 'anyone can play guitar' and 'pop is dead'.

clinch, danny: band photography, on my iron lung ep, the bends era singles and various official photography. Danny Clinch on the band: "Radiohead is one of my favorite bands to photograph. They are just a great bunch of guys. They come across really well in photographs. I enjoy photographing Thom, he's a really interesting looking guy who presents himself well to the camera. We were photographing the whole band and we were in front of this strip joint down on Church Street that has these big stars painted on the wall."

When it comes to mixing, Godrich confesses that this is not his favourite phase of a project. He said: "I feel like I get too into it. I start fiddling with things and I fuck it up. At the end of the day it's okay, but I much prefer the recording." more on nigel here

Lyttleton, Humphrey: Veteran jazz trumpeter Humphrey Lyttleton has taken part in a seven-hour recording session with Radiohead for the 'Amnesiac' album. The legendary musician, aged 79, was approached to help out the band in the studio when they became "a bit stuck" and he has described the session, for experimental track 'Living In A Glass House', as exhausting. Lyttleton said: "When we finally got a take that sounded good to me, they said: 'Good, we'll go and have some food, then we'll come back and do some more'. I said: 'not me'. It was a very heavy day." Guitarist Johnny Greenwood had written to the trumpeter saying: "It's probably an awful cheek and we're sure you're very busy, but we're a bit stuck." After listening to 'ok computer', Lyttleton gathered a group of five musicians to go into the studio with him. "People had said to me they were all crazy", he said. "But in face we had a good time. "[They] went through a few nervous breakdowns during the course of it all, just through trying to explain to us all what they wanted."
