Radiohead's Thom Yorke doesn't exactly come to mind when I think of someone really into marketing and promotion. He did afterall basically "give away" In Rainbows. But Yorke's caught the promo bug and lent his mug, along with some other artists namely Stevie Wonder, Rhianna, Lil Wayne and Lenny Kravitz, for "Grammy posters and billboards.":http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2009/01/grammys-get-lil.html Radiohead is up for Album of the Year at this year's 51st annual Grammys, which last year sufffered their lowest ratings since 1992. Hoping to bounce back they've asked artists to name 10 to 20 of their favorite musicians and songs. Thetext was then used in a silhoutte representing the artist. Confusing? Here's an exmple:
Yorke namechecks Liars and Modeselektor. Rhianna boldly confeses her love of Destiny Child's "Say My Name" and Lil Wayne gives a shout out to Jay-Z's "Can't Knock The Hustle."

Personally, I'd love to see the Grammys go away for good, but we'll see who's performing live same as every year...
You got me listening to "In Rainbows"..somebody gave it to me,and i left it sitting on the hard-drive.. "Bodysnatchers" got me straight away...
Cool.
