Thom Yorke - interview (1998)

[@inlonging]

oh the 90s. seeing those albums at the end made me really remember.

[@DanHowsen]

My thoughts exactly. The interview was great, but that top ten just sealed it for me! :D

[@robotophobia]

this is SO 90's...i feel nostalgic. the gloomy thom, the weird tv hosts, that top 10...

[@Brettkatze]

The funny thing about that is, when we were on our trip back from the Berlin gig this month (with car it needs 4 hours) I was in "half-sleep" in the middle of the night. There was something on the radio but it was on low volume. I thought "oh, at the moment everything sounds like thom yorke's voice.... but then I heard something like "god loves his children" and I screamed out "turn the volume up, it's radiohead" and it was special because normally there's always shit on the radio :D

[@trombone7]

4am, I believe it. This whole interview, interviewer included has a "stuck at the airport" feel. I don't think Thom is on drugs. I think he's being a good sport.

[@screamingmimi90]

Thom looks so incredibly bored and full of disdain. I love his honesty.

[@Elpantalla1]

Ah they showed some of this in Meeting People Is Easy.

[@HowDaddyIsDoing]

Thom York is so serious...i love that about him. too many people have a sense of humour these days...look at our world...it's in shambles...because of people who don't share the views of serious people like Thom York...and myself, as well. BE SERIOUS ABOUT EVERYTHING PEOPLE....only then can we improve the human condition. BTW, today is NO JOKE DAY. no one say or do anything funny all day. thanks. THE REVOLUTION STARTS NOW!

[@shatomanya]

I thought radiohead made their own videos, that was the other thing that got me about them.

[@amart7]

That's better. Except happiness is an emotion, commonly induced by laughter ;)

[@HowDaddyIsDoing]

"happiness that relates to laughter is not valid as an emotion. and we are all robots because of George Bush, anyway. so the laughter is programmed, obviously...resist humour." --Thom York (Oct. 18, 2006)

[@GhostOfJohnLennon]

it is at 4 am

[@guccilittlehoo]

You make me feel so fucking old! The song is "The Way"--by Fastball... I remember when this interview aired. I remember when all you could hear on the radio was Fastball, that i made you sick! Was that really ten years ago?.... approaching 30 is so fucking weired!

[@amart7]

LMAO! link pls?

[@wouldntyouliketoknow]

Don't Drink The Water was considered alternative? Wow.

[@Hianndryv]

this is the interview that appears in Meeting people is easy right?

[@dsignrdane]

that's funny that massive attack wanted to remix ok computer. and the thing it, mezzanine, which came out that year, was one of massive attack's best.

[@HowDaddyIsDoing]

wrong! listen to Thom York...and imitate him...he our JESUS, man. he sacrificed his sense of humour, just to be in a really serious band...by the way...it's the NINE MONTH ANNIVERSARY of the first annual NO JOKE DAY! get ready for the next one...dedicated to Thom York...we must remember not to be funny, and take everything seriously. People will say "you take stuff too seriously." that's when you show them your cross with the name "Thom" written on it.

[@JohnnyMatherson]

thom"zzzzzzzzz.lemme go to bed."

[@cleancutamerican]

Matt Pinfield is a pretty smart dude musically. I don't think he was annoying at all and I think Thom is always kind of uncomfortable in front of the camera anyway.

[@MCshlthead]

well anyway thom yorke can be very funny. especially when hes with the other band mates so hes more relaxed.

[@libelle156]

Thom looks sleeeepy....

[@HowDaddyIsDoing]

Thom York is the second coming. you'll see. he';; teach us all to be serious. and we can all have serious children for a change...and hopefully outlaw humour. and therre wouldn't be any stupid, comical songs...it would all have this serious commentary...like all those sexy--but serious--Radiohead songs. another NO JOKE DAY is coming up...so get ready to restart the revolution...this Monday...be like Thom York and resist humour. just be serious. cry...if you can. the more emotional, the better.

[@HowDaddyIsDoing]

but it would have to be a serious date! we would just be really serious the WHOLE time. why can't EVERYONE be as serious as Thom Yorke or i? sigh. (that was a serious sigh.)

[@ajsledzep]

hes on herion and hes suicidal , with a really pessimistic outlook on life . but his lyrics are great.

[@ufis567]

yeah he's definitely tired from constant touring and playing.

[@HowDaddyIsDoing]

sorry...i have to go. bye-bye.

[@raffafan]

You see Jesus in Thom. That is serious. Maybe you'd like to ask him out on a date?

[@adredo9]

mmmmm no not really

[@zabrak999]

@robotophobia yeah, except everybody was increadibly more gloomy in the 2000s, try again.

[@HowDaddyIsDoing]

what's a ...bug fat joke?

[@HowDaddyIsDoing]

i can't support him if he's going to be funny.
