Interview CD

“So, the title. How did it come to be chosen?”

“What has been the timetable with this album?”

“And what kind of working style did you adopt? Were you working mostly days? Nights?”

“Let’s talk now about Thom’s vocals on this CD…”

“And what was the mindset in recording? After all, there’s a single release!”

“Were there many tracks left over after recording? And can we mention the great song ‘Lift’, and ask what happened to that?”

“Could this album have been made 2 years ago?”

“What about touring – has that become enjoyment again?”

“Track #1 is called 2+2=5”

“Track #2, Sit Down, Stand Up. Where did that come from?”

“Track #3 Sail to the Moon, let’s talk about your vocals on this album. But first off, it sounds like a sinister nursery rhyme…”

“Here’s a change (irony!) as a definition of a Radiohead song…Track #4 Backdrifts seems a pretty desolate vision.”

“Track #5, Go to Sleep”

“Track #6. Where I end and You begin next. Great bassline!”

“Here’s a cheery title for Track #7: We Suck Young Blood. Humour perhaps?”

“Track #8 The Gloaming is next. That’s the time just before night falls, isn’t it? And this sounds to me like the listener is being eaten by a big technological machine…”

“Track #9 There There is next; and it’s a single, unusual indeed for Radiohead…”

“Track #10 is I Will. Something of a curio?”

“Track #11 is A Punchup at a Wedding. The title seems to sum up your frustration at the human condition. ‘Why does everything have to be like this?’”

“Track #12 is Myxomatosis (a disease that infected the rabbit population of Australia, deliberately, in the 1950s.) Do we detect a Tubeway Army sound here?”

“Track #13, Scatterbrain is an unsettling sounding track…”

“And the final track, Track #14, is A Wolf at the Door. A last chance (on this album, anyway) to put across some Home Truths?”
