Thom York, Spotify Feud [VIDEOS]: Radiohead & Atoms for Peace Frontman Continues his Assault on Music Streaming Service

In a new interview with Mexico's sopitas.com, Radiohead and Atoms for Peace frontman Thom Yorke reestablished his stance against the music streaming service Spotify. Yorke is an outspoken advocate against Spotify and this is not the first time he has said some negative things about the company, but that doesn't mean he'll stop badmouthing it.

Here is what Yorke told the Mexican website:

When we did the In Rainbows thing, what was most exciting was the idea you could have a direct connection between you as a musician and your audience. You cut all of it out, it's just that and that. And then all these f*ckers get in a way, like Spotify suddenly trying to become the gatekeepers to the whole process. We don't need you to do it. No artists needs you to do it. We can build the sh*t ourselves, so f*ck off. But because they're using old music, because they're using the majors...the majors are all over it because they see a way of re-selling all their old stuff for free, make a fortune, and not die. That's why to me, Spotify the whole thing, is such a massive battle, because it's about the future of all music. It's about whether we believe there's a future in music, same with the film industry, same with books.

To me this isn't the mainstream, this is like the last fart, the last desperate fart of a dying corpse. What happens next is the important part.
