Radiohead and the Resistant Concept Album: How to Disappear Completely (Profiles in Popular Music)
"This is the kind of text that could likely transform a college-level music theory course for the better, prompting discussions about everything from the structure of modern rock music to the sometimes conflicted triangular relationship between performers, media and the masses. And, needless to say, it's required reading for Radiohead cultists." —PopMatters"Marianne Tatom Letts's excellent new book returns to the origins of the band's subversive marketing strategies... Letts's smart, in-depth account reveals as much about Radiohead's ambivalent and conflicted relationship with popular culture and contemporary capitalism as it does about their musical appeal." —Rain Taxi"An objective yet provocative look at a challenging period in the work of one of rock's most adventurous bands." —Kevin Holm-Hudson, author of Genesis and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
