120 Minutes reminiscing
The final show of MTV’s ‘120 Minutes’ has been taped last year. Altmusictv.com have an article online, interviewing one of the hosts Matt Pinfield who talked about Radiohead’s performance on the show:
Matt Pinfield: “We would sometimes tape literally as early as 7 or 8 in the morning. And you know what was an amazing thing? Radiohead came to record some live songs from The Bends, and they showed up at 9AM, and did “High and Dry” and “Street Spirit.” It was impeccably beautiful. I can’t believe Thom Yorke sounded so amazing at 9 in the morning. It was incredible!”
Speaking of Radiohead, what’s your favorite Radiohead album?
Matt: “The Bends was the greatest record. I remember Thom Yorke almost being in tears when he was presented with The Bends gold record here-we all got ‘em. And he walked up to me and Andy (MTV) and Lewis, and said, “I know how much shit you guys got for staying behind us, and I just want to say how much it means to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.” And literally, there were almost tears coming out of Thom Yorke’s eyes when he walked out. We looked at each other and said, “That was one of the most amazing fucking moments since we started working here.” Just to see Thom Yorke being so affected by the love that we gave them for The Bends. Then the critics caught on, and hailed OK Computer to be the greatest album of all time. They wrote the band off after “Creep” thinking they were a one-hit-wonder, so they ignored The Bends and lost out on a great record. I love OK Computer, but The Bends is the album.” [thanks to CUTW for digging up the interview]
