Industry Hatred
Music industry hatred will never go out of style. The latest to bash: Broken Social Scene and Radiohead.
After winning a Juno on Monday night, some members of the Toronto-based collective let loose on the Canadian Idols...who went home empty handed.
"I feel really sorry for those kids in Canadian Idol because they’re going absolutely nowhere," said BSS singer Kevin Drew. "It’s a trick … It’s a Canadian music industry downfall because in three years no one is going to remember them."
Not to be outdone, Radiohead singer Thom Yorke bashed the music industry in the new issue of NME, saying it's filled with "a bunch of fucking retards." It's always fun to see what musicians will say when they're between contracts. Coolfer wonders if Yorke is that down on the execs and worker bees at EMI who played an integral part in turning an unimpressive group of U2 clones into the biggest rock band on the planet. Or maybe he's talking about those labels who go cold on a band when it turns in a challenging album like OK Computer. Hopefully we can get a clarification after the band inks what is sure to be a huge multi-million-dollar deal with another fucking retard major label.
