Thom Yorke: Radiohead & Trading Solo (Book Review)
The task facing author Trevor Baker when he embarked on a mission to cover the life and work of Radiohead's frontman, armed only with back issues of Q and Melody Maker, telephone numbers for some of Thom Yorke's old Exeter Uni buddies and an internet connection, was an unenviable one. No surprises (!), perhaps, that the end result isn't an especially illuminating read.»
DiScussion: EMI reissue Radiohead's first three LPs - bothered?
