Radiohead

In Japan in 1995, Radiohead say the success of one song kept them touring far longer than they wanted, and they had been wanting to make this album for about two years. MTV did not exist in England, so its attention meant little; playing Reading or going on Radio 1 a few months later, things they had followed since they were eight or nine, made them far more nervous. They never understood what was going on in America, which is probably a good thing. They try not to think about America and still prefer playing elsewhere, since it is not the best place in the world for music, as a business anyway. They had expected the first album to last maybe one tour of England before they made another album, so they are a little better prepared for this record to last.
