Zounds! What We Learn When Allowed to Ask Thom Yorke Anything

Last week Thom Yorke and Radiohead producer/Atoms for Peace band member Nigel Godrich hosted a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" session.  The results were mostly steeped in shrewd hilarity, though we did learn a few key pieces of information:

-- It's pretty much confirmed that Radiohead is still doin' its thing amidst solo projects, which include, of course, Atoms for Peace's debut album launch and forthcoming tour (more dates TBA).  The boys have some kind of plan to bunker down in the studio in September to work some shit out but have already laid down two unfinished tracks in Jack White's studio.  SPANK.

--When it comes to what makes a Radiohead cut vs. an Atoms for Peace song, it's kind of whoever's in his orbit at the time. More Thom Yorke collaborations are welcome and can probably be expected.

--Like many other lauded lyricists before him, Thom makes it clear his lyrics don't mean shit on an intellectual level.  They're essentially stream of consciousness.  Take that as you will.

--What else?  Oh yes, Thom takes his coffee strong in the morning but takes plenty of lie down and "upside down" time before a show. One Reddit fan is finally convinced Thom Yorke is Batman.  I won't necessarily argue the point.

--When Thom goes for sushi, he digs the sea urchin roe.  Best not to send any as a gift.

No sex tapes to report at this time.
