Yorke Biography






Those of you (read me) who enjoyed the last post may want to delve further into fabric that we know as Radiohead. If you like what you hear, then this soon to be released biography may scratch that itch in just the right place.

On February 26, 2009, a biography of Radiohead front man Thom Yorke by Trevor Baker entitled "Thom Yorke Radiohead & Trading Solo" will be released. According to the press release by the book's publisher, this book will be "a tale of the extraordinary drive, ambition and perfectionism of just one man. Thom Yorke's story has never been told and this biography goes further and deeper than ever before with the help of in-depth interviews from former classmates, producers, video makers, and other key players in his life."

Several books have been written about the band, but none chronicles the life of the enigmatic singer and principal songwriter.  Hopefully it will shed some light on his often confusing lyrics.

Ok I read this, and it's really just another Radiohead book. It's still interesting, but it talks more about "them" than "him". If you like Radiohead, it's worht your time.
