...latest job will require all the business acumen and musical sense the 55-year-old Frenchman can muster. Since October he?s been chairman and CEO of recorded music at EMI, a venerable British label with a roster that includes the Beatles, Frank Sinatra and Radiohead. Despite those assets, the company?s market value of $3.5 billion is about 40% lower than a year ago. It recorded a net loss of $76.9 million in the first half ending Sept. 30 on sales of $1.5 billion, down nearly 7% from the previous year...
...books, which they regard as a last refuge where looks or personality are inconsequential beside the words on the page, she replies, with some heat, “That’s so stupid!

...surrendering to the chorus of industrial-style whooshes and tinkles that are fast becoming Radiohead’s stock-in-trade. Both “I Might Be Wrong” and “Dollars and Cents” are given accomplished treatments on the album, proving that Radiohead have successfully incorporated electronica elements into both their live and studio performances. The band put to shame the dilettante rock groups who reckon that an occasional drum loop will establish their credibility, as well as making it abundantly clear that they have not entirely given up the rock attitude that...
