Johnny Borrell frustrated with US record label

Looks like Johnny Borrell has found something new to whine about – his record label. He is quoted in The Mirror newspaper to be unhappy, saying only "We pretty much had no effort whatsoever. It's been very frustrating." Ok, maybe The Mirror isn’t the best source of news information but Borrell perhaps has a good reason to be angry.

Here’s a link to a post by Lyndsey Parker in her blog on NME’s website. In it she sums up the general attitude towards Razorlight in America – there isn’t one. To me, it’s very puzzling because someone at Universal must have realised that Razorlight are doing pretty well over here at least. A number one single, two solid-selling albums, lots of radio play and a headline appearance at Razorlight (however crap that performance was) is surely enough reason to market the album?

As much as I hate Borrell’s ego sometimes, maybe, on this occasion anyway, he has a point…

Radiohead's worm buffet

After months and months of waiting, we may not have to wait too long for concrete information about the next Radiohead record. Over the last few days on the band's official website, they've been posting very cryptic messages using what they call the 'worm buffet'. Predictably, Radiohead fans have been spending day and night decoding these messages. So far, this is what has been seemingly 'discovered':

· 'Bodysnatchers' could be the first single off the new album.

· The way the record is put out may be far less than conventional.

· Radiohead are currently in a meeting with an unknown record label.

· 'Up On The Ladder,' a track that debuted live in 2002 but has since then sunk without a trace, could feature on the album.

· The release date could be March 23rd/24th.

It's all fascinating stuff. I've been waiting a good year and a half since hearing some of the new songs live and am very excited now that Radiohead seem to be on the home stretch. Expect any other exciting updates to be posted here (I can't help it, since Radiohead are probably my favourite band ever).
