Hannah Simone: …interview with Colin from Radiohead and I was so extatic. The one minor thing that happened though was that it took three hours before he showed up, but if any band can get away with that, and I will forgive them, it’s Radiohead.

Hannah: We all know that Radiohead is one of the most eco-friendly bands, and the people from the TOPDOWN (?) told me that I had to focus the entire interview on the environment. Well, it turns out that they were wrong, because Colin really believes that those choices should not be pushed on other people.

Hannah: I remember the last time I spoke to you guys was like, 2003?

Colin: Right

Hannah: We were talking about Radiohead and their music and, just a band that makes music – but I know now that you’ve become a very green band, involved in the environmental movement and bringing awareness

Colin: Yeah, it’s just like… it’s part of what we’re doing. I wouldn’t be very aware of believing that there are any bands or… counn, couldn’t do anything that would change any – change how things are. But it’s just by affecting your own behavior and how you go about things, and trying to sort of, modify that. That’s all that we’re doing, we’re not doing anything else really.

Hannah: What was that process like, making a video without cameras?

Colin: It was like a mapping system that they use for mapping out roads and stuff, it’s like a laser that’s spinning really really fast in 3D, that’s scanning its immediate environment.

Hannah: We recently did a piece with James Frost, and he said when he came in touch with that technology that he thought your band was the only one brave enough to use that technology.

CLIP FROM INTERVIEW WITH JAMES FROST: I figure that they would probably be the only band that would actually take that kind of risk, of actually making a music video without cameras.

Colin: I think it’s because were like not really into them. It’s all changing, though, with – you know, the internet and – you know, who you’re making your films for.

Hannah: A lot of people have said you guys were very brave in the way you chose to promote In Rainbows

CLIP FROM NEWS READER: After being number 1 on the UK chart with their new album In Rainbows, the achievement is al the more notable since the group allowed fans to download the tracks from their website for free

Colin: It was like this sort of very, this pistol-like flare of excitement when it happened, and publicity and on the internet, it was just extraordinary. It was just so exciting.

Colin: When we were doing it we were sort of doing it spontaneously. It just felt almost like the only thing we could do. It was so against how we’ve done it before, which was feeling so – you know, stifling. And also to be connected to an old system that seemed to want to punish people for enjoying music.

Colin: I think that people that do good music, they don’t really complain about the internet. If fans are interested in what you’re doing then you’ll always find a way to make a living.
