Muito além do blablabla de “morte da indústria fonográfica” que todo mundo anda repetindo depois que o Radiohead pôs o In Rainbows pra baixar por quanto você quiser, essa entrevista do Thom pro David Byrne traz algumas das opiniões mais sãs - de ambos os lados - que eu ouvi em muito tempo. Não só sobre música e gravadoras.
Trechinho:
Yorke: We always go into a tour saying, “This time, we’re not going to spend the money. This time we’re going to do it stripped down.” And then it’s, “Oh, but we do need this keyboard. And these lights.” But at the moment we make money principally from touring. Which is hard for me to reconcile because I don’t like all the energy consumption, the travel. It’s an ecological disaster, traveling, touring.
Byrne: Well, there are the biodiesel buses and all that.
Yorke: Yeah, it depends where you get your biodiesel from. There are ways to minimize it. We did one of those carbon footprint things recently where they assessed the last period of touring we did and tried to work out where the biggest problems were. And it was obviously everybody traveling to the shows.
Byrne: Oh, you mean the audience.
