No band in recent history has divided listeners' opinions as much as Radiohead. Are they the Beatles of the twenty-first century, or is their music just pretentious, overly melancholic, and sometimes boring? Musician, pop-culture critic, and playwright Dan Caffrey wasn' t always a Radiohead fan, but that all changed one Chicago winter, when he suddenly found their album In Rainbows to be a welcome source of sonic warmth. An extension of Caffrey' s deep but often cautious love for the band, Radiohead FAQ presents a fittingly sideways look at what he' s dubbed "the world' s most famous cult band. " Inside these pages, readers will find the essentials of the Radiohead story-along with deep dives into seldom explored topics, from the humor surrounding the band' s music to the numerous hip-hop artists who have sampled their songs. Each chapter is devoted to a band member plus their producer and "sixth member" Nigel Godrich, revealing comprehensive biographical details about each person. The end result is a book custom made for casual Radiohead fans and obsessives alike-filled with little known facts, new ways of looking at their music, and, like any music book worth its salt, maddening opinions.
Dan Caffrey is a playwright, pop-culture critic, and musician based in Austin, Texas. He has written for Consequence of Sound, The A. V. Club, Pitchfork, and Vox, among other publications. He records music with Maxwell J. Shults under the name Methodist Hospital. Their debut, Giants, was hailed as one of the best albums of 2018 by Dean of American Rock Critics and frequent Radiohead detractor Robert Christgau.
