While researching at my internship at the Columbia Journalism Review, I came across a rather interesting article written by outspoken Radiohead bassist Colin Greenwood about his reflection on the band's choice to release In Rainbows digitally back in 2007. The piece, which was featured on Great Britain's media site Index on Censorship, gives the reader a candid look into the minds of not only Greenwood, but all the members of Radiohead. The piece is more of a response to the groups' recent announcement of completed songs, hinting at the completion of a new album at the end of this year.Greenwood discusses in great opinion and depth about today's state of music, how music is delivered, how we receive it, the controversial future of it, and what the band has in store for their upcoming album.
If this Radiohead thing should ever fall through for Greenwood, he certainly has a future in media criticism.
