radiohead: Celebs Rumors

Radiohead‘s drummer Philip Selway has said that the band will release new material “of some sort” in the “next couple of years”.In January, Selway said that he and his bandmates would be meeting up early this year to start putting things in motion. “We’re going to get together at the start of [2023], and I’m sure we’re going to start looking at other ideas for what comes next,” he said.Now, the drummer has told Prog Magazine [via MusicNews]: “We’re always talking about stuff.

Ice Spice, PinkPantheress and Radiohead has gone viral after being shared on Twitter.The full version of the remix, which was made by Chillaxx, was shared by the producer earlier today (February 21). But a tweet featuring a clip of the mash-up was shared a day earlier and currently has over 40,000 likes and counting.Chillaxx uses Radiohead’s ‘Weird Fishes’ as the backdrop for Ice Spice and PinkPantheress’ vocals. At first, the track is combined with PinkPantheress’ ‘Boy’s A Liar Pt.

Lizzo has recalled in a new interview how she was bullied at school for being “different” and listening to Radiohead.The artist has spoken about her experiences in a new profile with Vanity Fair, which explores her upbringing in both Detroit and Houston.Recalling how she always felt “different” (“although she isn’t sure if it was ‘good different’ or ‘bad different'”, the profile notes), Lizzo said that while her fellow students were getting into rap music (“which she loved, especially Houston rap”) she was also listening to the likes of Radiohead.“It was a Black school, mostly Black and brown, Caribbean, I had Nigerian friends,” Lizzo said. “They were all listening to what was on the radio — Usher, Destiny’s Child, Ludacris —  and I was into Radiohead’s ‘OK Computer’.

Foo Fighters once again brought Dave Chappelle on stage for a cover of Radiohead’s ‘Creep’ during the Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert in Los Angeles last night (September 27).After celebrating Hawkins’ memory and music with a special six-hour gig in London earlier this month (September 3), ‘The Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert’ took over LA’s Kia Forum on Tuesday evening, with a bounty of special guests.One of these was Dave Chappelle, who repeated the trick of covering Radiohead’s classic ‘Creep’ with Foo Fighters at their huge gig at Madison Square Garden in New York City last summer.Check out last night’s performance of ‘Creep’ below.Earlier in the show, Miley Cyrus teamed up with Foo Fighters and Def Leppard for an expansive version of Def Leppard’s 1983 hit ‘Photograph’ while Justin Hawkins took to the stage with late Foo Fighters drummer’s side project, The Coattail Riders, to perform a four-song set.Last night’s tribute gig started with an acoustic performance of ‘Hallelujah’ by Grohl’s daughter, Violet, featuring Alain Johannes. That was followed by a short set from the surviving Foos, Blink-182’s Travis Barker and Joan Jett, who performed two of the latter’s biggest hits from the ‘80s.Elsewhere, Pink joined forces with Foo Fighters and Queen to perform a rousing cover of ‘Somebody To Love’ – the song that Hawkins covered himself over the years.

Jonny Greenwood has responded to Limmy’s cover of Radiohead’s ‘Creep’.The Scottish comedian shared a snippet of his cover on Twitter earlier this week (September 7), re-working the band’s 1992 debut single into a synth-heavy but solemn ditty.Responding on Twitter, Greenwood said: “There’s still no emoji to express my – very complicated – emotional reaction to this.”Limmy is known for his popular bedroom productions, and has covered classics including ‘Running Up That Hill’, ‘Rhythm Of My Life’, ‘Sk8r Boi’. In 2020, he shared a techno version of Joy Division’s ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’.There’s still no emoji to express my – very complicated – emotional reaction to this.

SoundCloud, who last year announced that it’d be the first music platform to direct the fees of its paying subscribers to the artists they stream.SoundCloud said that it was “a more equitable and transparent way for independent artists who monetise directly with SoundCloud to get paid”.It’s an approach that’s been previously backed by many musicians who have criticised the economics of online streaming.Leading streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music currently operate on a system where royalty payments are distributed in accordance with which artists have the most plays.But it has been criticised by smaller and up-and-coming acts, who claim that the system allows huge global names to generate vast amounts of money while leaving little for musicians who have not achieved similar success.Now, it’s been confirmed that Warner Music Group has implemented SoundCloud’s royalty system. Each artist credited with having earned royalties from a particular recording will earn a share based solely on each stream of that specific release.However, Far Out Magazine cites the results of a recent report by Media Research which found that 56 per cent of artists surveyed were making more revenue by using SoundCloud’s old pro-rata model rather than the new one.Numerous other major streaming platforms – including Spotify and Apple Music – are currently still using the pro-rota model.Upon SoundCloud introducing the fan-powered system, the company’s chief executive officer Michael Weissman said: “Many in the industry have wanted this for years.

Picking just six was near-impossible, but these songs have been some of my favourites.

I guess it can only try to bear witness somehow.”He added: “There are no words to express seeing war Ukraine, in Europe in the 21st century.
