Music industry are "f-ing retards" blasts Radiohead star

Thom Yorke lets rips again in this week's NME, this time blasting record companies for not waking up to the internet

"The fact that poor Arctic Monkeys are getting so much attention is purely based on the fact that the mainstream music business is such a bunch of fucking retards as far as I'm concerned", said Yorke.

His rant comes hot on the heels of last week's attack on ticket profiteers, flogging £55 stubs to Friends of the Earth's Big Ask Live concert for over £300 on eBay.

Yorke thought it only fair that punters donate some of their ill gotten gains to the charity.

"Seems only fair", he posted on the Radiohead blog. "Unless you're a shallow____, don't you think?"
