David Byrne interviews Thom Yorke for WIRED
David Byrne has interviewed Thom Yorke for Wired Magazine. Adam Buxton, who helped with Radiohead’s webcast last Friday, revealed that Byrne came to Radiohead’s Oxford studio to conduct an interview with Thom Yorke for the magazine.
It’s unsure when the interview in Wired will be published. For those who don’t know it was David Byrne’s band Talking Heads, who Radiohead took their name from (the song ‘Radio Head’ from the 1986 album ‘True Stories’).
Adam Buxton wrote on his site: “As if all that wasn’t enough we had been visited earlier in the day by David Byrne who was conducting an interview with Thom for Wired magazine. When they had finished David came up to the control room and watched the Helmet Cam video. I was stood next to him as he chuckled away at the sight of them all being so serious in the silver helmets. “What a great performance!” he said. “And you can crop the helmets later, right?” I had to spend the next couple of minutes explaining to David and Thom why I thought we should keep the helmets in vision. Good times. Byrne is completely white haired now and very dapper indeed. Apart from Bowie I loved David Byrne in a kind of romantic way more than anyone when I was growing up so the old gay Byrne fancier in me was delighted to find him looking so good. I’m sure he’d be pleased to hear that.”

This will be one of the best reads ever
I should think. They’re both slightly mad,
but also completely genious. I want that interview!

I’m sure it’s Wired- this sort of this could be too conservative for The Wire, and of course Wired will want them for their record-release innovations! But it’s nice to hear. One reason: in 2002 when Talking Heads were inducted into the silly Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, there was a rumour Thom would be the one to do it, and then it turned out to be Anthony Kiedis, and there was a rumour Byrne didn’t like Radiohead- he has never said anything positive on them. The other reason: Jigsaw sounds as much like Jorge Ben as Radiohead ever will (as the webcast made so clear!) and Byrne should appreciate that.
