Thom York in Conversation with David Byrne
This is great!
Wired brought David Byrne (Talking Heads) and Thom Yorke (Radiohead) together, to talk about the real value of music and about Radiohead’s In Rainbows distribution strategy.
Hearing this from one innovative musician to the other, i.e. without too much business stuff, made me understand the deal a little bit better.
Yorke: “The only reason we could even get away with this, the only reason anyone even gives a shit, is the fact that we’ve gone through the whole mill of the business in the first place. It’s not supposed to be a model for anything else. It was simply a response to a situation.”
