There’s an interview with Liam and Noel from Oasis in the latest Q Magazine. Here are some extracts:
Q: Were you good husbands?
N: I get unfairly singled out about marriage. No one asks Thom Yorke about his marriage.
L: She’s probably a miserable bastard like him. The miserable ginger dwarf and his miserable wife. Who wants to know about them?
Q: Radiohead aren’t bad though, are they?
N: No! Radiohead don’t want anyone else involved in that little thing they’ve got going on. Their thing is: Don’t look at us. Don’t photo us. Don’t interview us. In fact, don’t listen to our music. Where does it end? It ends with Thorn Yorke saying I’ve written the most fantastic piece of classical music ever but the only way you can hear it is by jamming a jack plug into my ear.
L: They’re a band of Morris dancers.
N: They seem so pissed off being in a band. That doesn’t inspire kids to pick up guitars. They’re moaning about the marketing, the videos. If I was 15 I’d think, I’ll get a job down the car wash. Whereas us, we love it. It’s the best job in the world. Granted, some of the stuff on Amnesiac is brilliant. The Bends is the bollocks. Karma Police is mega. But they don’t want people like me to like their music so they can go and fuck themselves.[thanks PsychoMat]
Last night, on the Andy Dick show there was a short segment parodying an MTV dream date program. The dream date in question? Andy Dick dressed up as Thom Yorke. Basically the program showed a girl jumping around excitedly as a limo rolled up to her house, the window rolls down, out peers Thom (bends era Thom) who proceeds to fall lethargically out of the limo.
The remainder of the segment has a voice over talking about the “exciting date” while the two love birds visit various locales such as a pizza parlor and a game place. The entire time Thom apparently is afflicted by narcilepsy and can’t seem to stay awake / or move. [thanks Shibumi]
