(2003/07/10) Viva, Thom

[@jjysoserious]

This is what I love, when the interviewer has good questions, Thom totally opens up. I also love how he compliment her. Awesome.

[@alanamccarthylight732]

3:17 “but you know, i’m quite a precious person, so... (slaps self across the face)”

[@circling-girl]

I love this so much. You can see how surprised and pleased he is to be interviewed by someone smart and insightful, and it's lovely to see him opening up and having a discussion that isn't a chore for him like it usually is. Speaks volumes that he's disappointed at the end and wants to keep going! I wish it was longer, too. I wonder if she ever got to interview him again?

[@Bitteulze]

I'm sure the interviewer and the questions she asked obviously have to do with the brilliance of this particular interview but I've also noticed the peculiar setting up... They're both sitting next to one another (which is not so common), and it looks like Thom Yorke has all this open space in front of him to speak. I do believe that this "non-confrontational" disposition helped a great deal in the quality of the interview. I'm a big believer in the influence of space and positioning on the quality of a conversation. But let's face it... This interviewer is also really smart and genuine which are 2 qualities that will obviously make someone like Thom Yorke more comfortable.

[@zizoubizou8267]

It's a bit similar to the "no eye contact"-interview he did with sook-kin lee in the same time period, which is also really good. Either he doesn't like looking people in the eye, which is probable, especially during that time, or he's just more benign attitude towards women than men, which is reasonable.

[@MrAkilio]

all architects like this comment

[@gpeddino]

I like his reaction to her comment referencing the song "Backdrifts" (8:57). One of the few times he seemed genuinely open to an analysis of his music.

[@kainecells]

8:57

[@arinetic5538]

This is actually probably one of the best interviews i've seen. So relaxed and friendly, especially since i just came from watching Thom's interview with Lola Da Musica in 2000 which felt very confrontational, cold, and pushy, and the interviewer even at one point pressed on asking questions that Thom specifically said he didn't want to answer. It's so nice to see such a welcoming, respectful and intelligent interviewer for once.

[@erinlbe0207]

I just watched that one and got so annoyed at how the interviewer kept pushing him for answers to very personal questions that clearly weren't any of his business

[@brendantaylor3570]

Nice to see a "rock star" who appears this honest, informed and is totally himself without sensation.

[@Pochidud]

I like how we can all agree that this is a great interview with Thom Yorke. He's comfortable with the questions being asked and it doesnt feel like hes being interrogated.

[@mochabunny456]

I cant believe I have watched this interview about 20 times in the last few months

[@priscillasalzberg5349]

She used the word "Backdrifting" a specific word in one of his songs, so he knows she listened to his song and related to it, understood why he used that word.

[@mirighazvini8666]

I'm distracted by how cute this is

[@halfawakee]

0:50 limitations 1:25 how do you feel after a record 3:21 is your music a reflection of you 4:04 media and politics in music 7:15 allowing government to act on our behalf 7:40 government only cares about corporate lobbying 8:23 hope after fear 9:30 album name meaning 11:25 lyrics are influenced by politic/media language 13:35 misconceptions of Americans in Europe 14:23 protests 16:10 system is at fault 17:25 how do you manage not to become cynical with all of your political engagement 17:45 what music are you listening to at the moment

[@southerntw]

She has this Bjork aura which I really love!

[@KsideHb]

What a great interview. Her presence got thom to spill his beans freely

[@ayse-um8sw]

hes so smart i love him

[@jillethegreat4938]

SUCH A GREAT INTERVIEWER

[@sierra9833]

2003 thom is the hottest

[@sophiesamuels7196]

Yess.

[@chocococobun]

have you SEEN 2010 thom bro??????

[@nicedream1990]

I think I've seen every Thom/Radiohead interview on KZbin and every so often I go on a binge and watch them again.

[@leahwaters-katz761]

God damn these two are flirting so hard its pretty cute

[@MrHoola]

I noticed too. At moments you can tell Thom "turns on" his charm.

[@snufkin2245]

I wish that when they decide they're done making music (which I hope will never happen) I want them to release an album with all the songs they felt could be misunderstood and could end their career. It wouldn't matter anymore.

[@julianchan6269]

I had the urge to comment "good questions" and soon after Thom said to the interviewer "good question"

[@swaggypanda1808]

same haha

[@ThePortableSix]

This is such a cute interview!

[@Bitteulze]

I've seen this interview already many years ago here on youtube but it's always nice to watch again. I honestly think it's the best Thom Yorke interview I've ever seen. Thanks for posting this (AND all the other interviews).

[@MrPaoloFelice]

This is a fantastic interview.

[@AB-wy7dr]

Always been my favorite TY interview

[@lucienesther]

theyre so cute lool wonderful interview

I am glad I found this treasure on KZbin.. * _ *

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

"A lot of what drives me in music is depression and personal things.." Thom Yorke lol

[@rachelvillarim3279]

Well hello 🤣

[@BethMacDur]

at 2:44 I thought the video had stopped, but it didn't hahaha the girl moves her lips and Thom just freezes

[@matimend]

qué tipo lúcido lo quiero tanto

[@okcomputeA]

i think that about sums it up. His songs are passed down from the gods themselves, it has nothing to do with him. Well they sure did pick a great musician to use.

[@fernsmosslichens]

dang, this is so good! wish so bad it wasn't so dang fuzzy!

[@vangeldercj]

Flirting! Cute and smart.

[@priscillasalzberg5349]

"Things are being done in your name and you can't do Jackshit about it." This is true and put in a perspective that I guess I was too busy to think about. I can see how the paranoia begins. Today people are saying how 6 people, the Supreme Court decide the fate of abortion and women's rights for the USA and most people don't agree with these 6 people.

[@finnb-anarchy]

Everything he said is even truer now. At least now the young generation is trying to change this shit in the realization of oblivion being on the doorstep instead of giving up.

[@gravityfreaksmusic]

Boy, they're young.

Geez, get a room already. 😂

I wonder what happened to charlotte she was one of the best interviewers.

[@JMB80]

[@gnoelalexmay]

I read through the comments to find out who the interviewer is - as formerly commented on, this is one of the best Thom Yorke interviews I've seen. Anyone know who she is? P.s. maybe not as blatant as some have said, but I thought there was a bit of flirting going on! 😍
