Radiohead / Thom Yorke
发布日期 2006-05-01
Thom Yorke堪称是上世纪90年代以来摇滚乐界最杰出的主唱之一,而他所在的乐队Radiohead无疑也是当代最伟大的摇滚乐队之一。1968年10月7日,Thom Yorke生于英国的Wellingborough。不幸的是,Thom Yorke天生就患上了轻微的眼病。在六岁那年,Thom Yorke的左眼就已经完全麻痹,并再也挣不开了。此后,他一共接受了五次手术治疗。最后一次的手术虽然将Thom的病治好了,但这时他的左眼已经丧失了一大半的视力。在带了一年眼罩之后,Thom Yorke的左眼才可以模模糊糊的看东西。Thom的父亲是一位化学工程器具的推销员,因此Thom小时候会跟着父亲经常搬家。在十几岁的时候,Thom Yorke迷上了音乐,开始听阿尔维斯·卡斯特罗(Elvis Costello),皇后(Queen)和披头士(the Beatles)。在随家人最终在牛津定居之后,Thom Yorke被送到了一所男校上学。正是在这所学校,Thom Yorke遇到了日后担任Radiohead吉他手的Ed O'Brien和贝斯手Colin Greenwood。在另一位好友,鼓手Phil Selway加入之前,Thom Yorke和Ed O'Brien,Colin Greenwood一起用一台鼓机就开始录了很多东西。在乐队邀请Colin Greenwood的弟弟Jonny Greenwood加入之后,Radiohead的阵容就么固定下来了。
在改为Radiohead之前,乐队的名字刚开始叫做On a Friday。而乐队之所以选“Radiohead”作为乐队名的灵感来源于Talking Heads乐队1986年的专辑《True Stories》中的歌曲《Radio Head》。1991年末,Radiohead与英国Parlophone公司和美国Capitol公司先后签约。随后,Radiohead发行了首张EP唱片《Drill》,但并没有引起媒体和歌迷的过多关注。1993年4月,乐队发行了首张正式专辑《Pablo Honey》。和《Drill》一样,《Pablo Honey》在发行之初也并没有掀起什么波澜。直到专辑中的歌曲《Creep》在MTV台中热播之后,更多的歌迷才注意到了这张专辑。
尽管首张专辑反响一般,但Radiohead 1995年的《The Bends》和1997年的《OK Computer》这两张专辑却令他们大红大紫。其中,《OK Computer》在发行后不久还被英国著名音乐杂志《Q》评为“史上最佳摇滚专辑”。2000年10月,Radiohead第四张录音室专辑《Kid A》面世。虽然这张专辑中没有一首单曲或音乐录影带在美国打榜,但《Kid A》在美国发行后第一周仍以优异的成绩获得Billboard 200专辑榜的冠军。
在随Radiohead获得成功之后,Thom Yorke也开始更多的以客串嘉宾的身份出现在其他音乐人的专辑当中。这些有Thom Yorke助阵完成的歌曲包括:Drugstore的《El President》(出自专辑《White Magic for Lovers》),与Sparklehorse一起翻唱的Pink Floyd乐队的名曲《Wish You Were Here》,UNKLE的《Rabbit in Your Headlights》(出自专辑《Psyence Fiction》),比约克(Bjork)的《I've Seen It All》(出自专辑《Selmasongs: Music From the Motion Picture Soundtrack Dancer in the Dark》)以及 PJ Harvey的《This Mess We're In》(出自专辑《Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea》)。1998年,Thom Yorke还作为超级组合“Venus in Furs”的一员为摇滚电影《Velvet Goldmine》创作了电影原声碟,Thom Yorke在其中演唱了《2HB》,《Ladytron》和《Bitter-Sweet》。
2006年5月,Thom Yorke在Radiohead乐队的网站上公布了他将发行个人专辑这条令人意外的消息。7月11日,在Radiohead制作人Nigel Godrich的帮助之下,Thom Yorke的首张个人专辑《The Eraser》在Xl厂牌正式发行。
-------------------------------
The Easer》是Radiohead 主音Thom Yorke的首張個人大碟,感覺頗承接Raidohead自《Kid A》以來的冷峻的風格,但比《Kid A》易入耳。若這張專輯是Thom Yorke是的個人寫照,可反映他是一個被社會壓力抑得喘不過氣來的人,甚不滿社會現時的風氣,大部份歌曲都流露在這一種思緒。這一種如大海般的思緖,就如唱片封面設一樣,將整個城市淹沒。
The UK Gold OST [音乐] 豆瓣
Thom Yorke / Robert Del Naja 类型: 原声
发布日期 2015-02-26 出版发行: UK Uncut
UK Uncut is very proud to host the score of critically acclaimed documentary UK Gold, composed by Thom Yorke & 3D (Massive Attack) – also featuring Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead) & Euan Dickinson.
The UK Gold is essential viewing. An in-depth investigation of the tax avoidance industry in the UK, The UK Gold tackles tax dodging corporations and government complicity so directly that both BBC and Channel 4 refused to run it. It is, they claimed, ‘too controversial’.
The film is directed by Mark Donne. It airs on 25th February 2015 at 8pm on London Live / Freeview 8 / Sky 117 / Virgin 159 / YouView 8. It’s also available nationwide via HD live-stream at London Live.

“Now is the time to reveal the revolving doors between government and the City that has bred lies and corruption for so long, siphoning money through our tax havens for the global super rich, while now preaching that we the people must pay our taxes and suffer austerity. Just who does our government work for?”

Thom Yorke has announced a new album, Tomorrow's Modern Boxes. In a letter co-authored with Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, he explained why the album is being distributed via torrent service BitTorrent.
Here's the letter:
As an experiment we are using a new version of BitTorrent to distribute a new Thom Yorke record.
The new Torrent files have a pay gate to access a bundle of files..
The files can be anything, but in this case is an 'album'.
It’s an experiment to see if the mechanics of the system are something that the general public can get its head around ...
If it works well it could be an effective way of handing some control of internet commerce back to people who are creating the work.
Enabling those people who make either music, video or any other kind of digital content to sell it themselves.
Bypassing the self elected gate-keepers.
If it works anyone can do this exactly as we have done.
The torrent mechanism does not require any server uploading or hosting costs or ‘cloud’ malarkey.
It's a self-contained embeddable shop front...
The network not only carries the traffic, it also hosts the file. The file is in the network.
Oh yes and it's called
Tomorrow's Modern Boxes.
Thom Yorke & Nigel Godrich
