REBELS WITHOUT A CONTRACT
by Josh Tyrangiel
While Radiohead keeps refining and writing with producer Nigel Godrich (there's still no release date), other matters remain unclear, such as who, if anyone, will be releasing the as-yet-untitled album. The group's contract with EMI ran out in 2003, and although a number of suitors have come calling at the band's Oxford, England, headquarters, they have so far been rebuffed. A spokesman says if the group does sign with a record label, it will be for only a single album. Shortly before the band started writing new songs, singer Thom Yorke told TIME, "I like the people at our record company, but the time is at hand when you have to ask why anyone needs one. And, yes, it probably would give us some perverse pleasure to say ‘F___ you’; to this decaying business model."
