Well Radiohead is quickly learning how labels and corporations that you complain about will turn around and try whatever they can to defame you. Earlier this week, their was a story of how RadioHead was now ripping fans off by charging 80 dollars for concert tickets, forcing yorke to reply that this charge was to cover a wide array of touring fees, and that all acts doing major shows were charging this and alot more and not being held up in the light like he was. And now more


An EMI spokesperson last week (28Dec07) told British newspaper The Times that Radiohead decided not to resign with the label when their demands for money, prior to the recording of recent album In Rainbows, were not met.

But singer Yorke insists Radiohead never made the request and left EMI because the company refused to let them have ''control over our work and how it was used in the future".

He says, ''We did not ask for a load of cash from... EMI to resign. That is a lie.''

And the 39-year-old is annoyed EMI boss Guy Hands went public with details of the Radiohead split.

Yorke adds, ''To be digging up such bulls**t, or more politely airing (your) dirty laundry in public, seems a very strange way for the head of an international record label to be proceeding."

The British band made history last year (07) when they allowed fans to pay whatever they liked to download In Rainbows online. The album had a physical release on CD and vinyl earlier this week (begs31Dec07).

This all seems very similar to Prince's moves in the mid 90's and of course the backlash from it. I am hoping more artists come to the side of RADIOHEAD, since NO ONE was on Prince's side back in the mid 90's calling him crazy and being someone who couldnt deal with "not selling" anymore, it took people almost 5 years to come around and echo Prince's words.
