Radiohead go weird!

There's nothing worse than fans, right? That 'orrible horde of proles who traipse around the world after you bellowing out your biggest anthems, clamouring for autographs and begging you to play "that one about the creep". Radiohead were certainly sick to the back teeth of them after the huge success of OK Computer sent them stratospheric – hence the cunning plan they concocted to send them all packing.

For their fourth album, Kid A, the 'Head would release a record inspired not by the emotional and poetic pain inside Thom Yorke but by Autechre, an avant-electronic duo from Rochdale who had sold about seven records. "Instead of soaring melodies and crunching guitars," the band no doubt schemed, "we'll just cobble together some noodly bobbins and get Thom to wail a bit." The result? Everyone loved it, Radiohead became even bigger and – 10 years and countless more noodly, waily albums down the line – they are feted as one of the biggest, most critically acclaimed bands in the world. D'oh!

What an utter load of bollox from the Guardian. Besides, wasn;t it Aphex Twin thats often cioted as a Kid A influence?

My inner æ fanboy finds this incredibly insulting.

Also, you accidentally posted this twice.
