RADIOHEAD TO ATO -- DONE DEAL? The rumor floating around for about a week or so has been that the ATO/Red Light Management folks have been meeting with the Radiohead team...

Makes sense -- Ron Laffitte, former Capitol A&R exec, is now at the label/mgmt. co., as is Phil Costello, who formerly headed up Capitol's Radio Promo staff...

With Will Botwin, Bruce Flohr and Corin Capshaw heading up the ATO/Red Light team, what better company is there to align with? I mean, aside from doing it all themselves -- they're f'in RADIOHEAD after all!

(**UPDATE: New reliable sources tell us that the deal ISN'T done and Warner Bros. Records is still has their hat in the ring.

Another question - Will the band suffer fan backlash after word gets out about their plans to release their CD with bonus tracks not available as part of their much reported-about 'pay what you want' album download? If we payed ten bucks for the download and have to buy the album all over again to get the extra tracks, we're very happy to punch Thom Yorke in the throat!)
