I notice some of Radiohead's music is being used in Peaky Blinders. This surprised me I have to say. It's a not-bad show - don't get me wrong - but it's used rather out of context. As are tracks by Tom Waits and the Artic Monkeys. Hmm.
It reminded me that I met a member of Lemonjelly some years ago [Fred] who told me how hacked off he was that the BBC was using their music throughout a cookery show without permission. He said it was because the BBC has a deal with all the major record companies. He had no choice in the matter and got paid very little for the dubious honour. Seems very wrong to me. Can this really be the case with Radiohead now - surely not. Are they fans of the show? Anyone know?
Cheers - D.
