Muse are fans of Radiohead’s recent decision to ‘do a Radiohead’.
The ‘whatever, mate’ approach to the release of last album In Rainbows has Dominic Howard, Muse’s drummer enthralled:
Still:
“They [were] unsigned which means they are in a different position to us, so they can do whatever the hell they want it’s cool they did.
“Bands are constantly thinking of the best ways to release music and a band like that doing it on their own shakes up the record companies and helps them realise that they are gradually becoming more and more useless.
“It’s a great time for music and a great time for bands, but not for the record companies.”
After all those evil record companies have done to thwart Muse from selling millions of records, playing Wembley Stadium, working their way through an endless stream of damp Japanese girls.
Sods.

'The Daily Ligger: Matt Bellamy snogs Thom Yorke
Onlookers die in genital-shriveling related incident'
and Muse
don't really slag the industry off do they, they just point out their opinion that the industry is in a bit of a spot. Hardly worth the sarcasm. But I fully endorse unneccesary sarcasm. So as you were.
That was an entirely worthwhile post
;)
show your workings out
thats what i was always told
you're right
I should be looking for all those music news exclusives out there 'on the street'.
I am but one man.
You tell me the most effective way to go about my job, and I'll gratefully listen.

most effective way to go about my job
Dig out your own stories, is all I'm suggesting, or at least cite your sources...
yeah but given that 3/4 of the article is a direct quote
your point is fairly pointless.
Is it?
the quote's the story, what am I supposed to do?
Omit it? It?
*cough*
I believe he was defending you.
at ease!

how would you know?
do you read nme?
you queer.
Muse
Fingers go up the scale.
Fingers go down the scale.
Fingers go up.
And down again. Maybe on a Korg MS2000.
What an intelligent, uncompromising band.
How wrong thou art!
How wrong thou art!
...there's a song there somewhere...
Muse want to copy radiohead
shocker!
someone else
who only heard Muse's first album
..
Arctic Monkeys => The Enemy
Radiohead => Muse ?
Arctic Monkeys => The Enemy
!?!?
In a begatting sense
I'm not saying either of them are anything special, I'm just... I'm just a bit hungover.
the Enemy slag off the Arctics though
hilariously
I actually
find the way Arctic Monkeys go about things pretty refreshing and their music is infinitely more tolerable than The Enemy's exercises in Weller worship. Can't see much of a connection between the two other than the type of people they appeal to. The Enemy are just TRAD as fuck...
Interesting
that radiohead´s mode of releasing music has attracted a lot more interest than the album itself (which, I think, is a reasonable effort for 2 quid fifty)
Maybe Muse Can Do The Same
and they could call the album Radiohead-Lite ?
How would...
one go any lighter than Radiohead's last album?
I Don't Think You Can
It caused a few ripples mind,but still walks on water.
please, not the old muse copying radiohead story
it never happened. the end.
another
slow day for news?
If Radiohead formed a Rush Tribute Band
It'd be Muse. By rights I should love them, but they've always left me cold.
what an absurd statement
boo-urns to you sir.
I love Muse
but I've got to say, it's becoming very easy for bands to cackle on about how bad record companies are... and very lazy. We're still at a point where most of the successful bands of the current generation got there with record company backing.
Once upon a time, people could record cassettes, and then CDs, to cassettes. But now you can burn CDs with no loss of quality, or get stuff from the net and do so, easily. Which IS having a big impact on them. I'm not pretending record companies are perfect - and some are really bad - but I still don't see the part where this piece of progress was somehow their fault. I reiterate - it's far too easy to have a pop at record companies... can't bands pick a harder target like, say, George W Bush? If you see what I mean.
