Thom Yorke talks Radiohead and what ???? means
Thom Yorke has worked his way back into the blogosphere by simply existing yet again and it’s my job to tell you what he’s been up to.
Rolling Stone recently spoke with the Radiohead frontman/climate activist about a few things. First off it’s been announced that he is playing the Coachella festival but some want to know what the “????” after his name on the festival poster stand for.
Turns out that “Thom Yorke????” stands for his band with RHCP bassist Flea, producer Nigel Godrich, Mauro Refosco and Joey Waronker. This was the same band that played a few gigs in Los Angeles last summer. “The Eraser band that I got together, we’re going to do something, hopefully in April (referring to Coachella), but I think that’s just more gigs,” Yorke said. So that answers that question but what about the day job a.k.a Radiohead?
“Radiohead is still doing stuff. In fact, we’re starting another session for a month in two days,” said Yorke. “My biggest trouble at the moment is trying to keep up, but I prefer it that way.”
Recently, Thom co-hosted a radio show on BBC Radio 1 with Gilles Peterson and DJed a set that included acts like Clinic, Can, MF Doom and jazz legends Charles Mingus and Sun Ra. You can listen to that radio show right over here.
So it seems that Thom is trying to stay as busy as possible these days. Don’t burn out on us, man. A lot of people are waiting for that new RH record that’s supposed to come out this year.
