Thom Yorke’s shows in Los Angeles probably will end up at the top of all best LA gigs lists of the year. All professional (and audience) reviews were ga-ga over him. FACT. Anyone stating the contrary is just trying to cover the brilliance that is Mr. Yorke. He had the right to promote his solo work and he did it in the best way possible. He had a kick ass song like Hearing Damage and it is on the soundtrack of a movie with songs of some other very good artists as well, reaching a whole new audience, no harm done. He did one of the best covers ever with All For The Best. His EP was widely well reviewed around the world. And now he is again rehearsing with Radiohead, behind the curtains, working hard, as he always did. Some of the comments here make me feel ashamed of some so called Radiohead fans. The band supports Thom, it is all he needs. And if you are blasting him for being such an incredible and prolific artist, you are blasting all the other members as well.

Chynna,

Thanks for putting into words the whole of my current Thom disappointments. Would the Yorke of “Meeting People is Easy” be jumping at the chance to do a song for THE teenybopper film of the year? This from a man who supposedly hates mainstream media attention. You may compare this to Radiohead’s entry into the Romeo + Juliet soundtrack, but not only was the band at a hugely different moment in its career, but Twilight is total comercial BS, whereas R+J is a wild, idiosyncratic freak-out cloaked in Elizabethan English. At the very least, Thom should be lending his name to worthwhile projects, as Jonny did with There Will Be Blood.

And the recent singles, good intentions aside, suck. I much preferred their old approach: disappear for a while, reappear with an impeccably crafted album, tour. Even as b-sides, this new shit is weak– compare it to “Fog” or “Bishop’s Robes” or “Last Flowers”– or any number of other Radiohead curios– these songs just weren’t there yet. Hell, “Pulled Apart” was way better in it’s original live incarnation.

It’s alright Skylar. I’ve an acerbic personality and don’t take to jokes very kindly unless it’s a flat-out obvious joke.:P

I thought the “imo” would make it obvious that it was a joke. .

Heh, if i need therapy then Radiohead’s more rabid fans need to be institutionalized. I am but a small demented fish in an ocean of loony piranhas. And for the record, I will not be insulting myself in my own posts so obviously someone needing major attention felt the need to use my name.
