YORKE UPSET ABOUT PIXIES
'FEUD'


Sensitive RADIOHEAD frontman THOM YORKE
was so upset by the way his 2004 Coachella
Festival comments about the PIXIES were
misconstrued he lost sleep for a month. The
rocker feared he'd upset one of his favourite
bands by complaining about headlining above
them at the California desert concert - when he
just wanted to make it clear that he thought the
reunited Pixies should have been the top band
on the bill. The CREEP singer admits the
backlash after his comments almost led to him
quitting Radiohead for good. Yorke says, "By
the end of that, we'd completely lost interest and
lost confidence. Part of the nail in the coffin for
me, personally, was going on after the f**king
Pixies. It's like going on after the BEATLES. "It
was a massive big deal, and I really, really, really
didn't want to do it. "It was an odd
situation as well, because I think the Pixies
misread it. They thought it was because we
didn't like them. I lost sleep for a month."

Yorke lost sleep after Pixies 'feud'

Sensitive Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke was so upset by the way
his 2004 Coachella Festival comments about the Pixies were
misconstrued, he lost sleep for a month.

The rocker feared he'd upset one of his favourite bands by
complaining about headlining above them at the California desert
concert - when he just wanted to make it clear that he thought the
reunited Pixies should have been the top band on the bill.

The Creep singer admits the backlash after his comments almost led
to him quitting Radiohead for good.

Yorke said: "By the end of that, we'd completely lost interest and
lost confidence. Part of the nail in the coffin for me, personally, was
going on after the f**king Pixies. It's like going on after the Beatles.

"It was a massive big deal, and I really, really, really didn't want to
do it.

"It was an odd situation as well, because I think the Pixies misread it.
They thought it was because we didn't like them. I lost sleep for a
month."

How have I never seen that? I think that's the greatest YouTube thing I've ever seen. Frank doing an impression of Victor Meldrew; well, I don't believe it!

I apologize. I just had a surgery and have been heavily medicated, and can only type with one hand. My thoughts haven't been getting to the keyboard as easily as other people's lately. And seriousy, one period is more than enough for a post that long. Right?

Like prozocrat said in his post.
Upon re-reading, it does look like I think prozocrat cyber-mumbles.

Frank wished that Thom would pronounce his words a bit more like prozocrat's post?

In a Q from a few years back, Frank said that he liked Radiohead, but wished Thom would pronounce his words a bit more (a lot like prozacrat's post).
I'll find the interview tomorrow.

"Goodnight Kim", "Goodnight Charles", "Goodnight Kim", "Goodnight Charles", "Goodnight Joe".... "Goodnight Charles"

I read in a Rolling Stone a brief article where Frank was discussing Radiohead, and the one bit of constructive criticsm he gave was that he thought Thom could be a little less mumbly, so Frank could understand what he was saying a little better, or something to that effect.

There's nothing wrong in finding OK Computer boring. I do.

I actually have an article somewhere (I must dig it up)...maybe MEAN STREET or BAM MAGAZINE from 1998...where I remember Frank actually saying he "doesn't get" the current music, and names Radiohead as one of the bands he finds boring. I'm paraphrasing, of course...this is all from fragmented recall...I will find it tonight and post the article tomorrow.

Dont forget the Smiths, Van Halen, Beck, New Order, and the Buzzcocks.
Homers_pet_monkey Posted - 08/02/2006 : 10:57:18
Doris Day, The Doors, Iggy Pop, Nancy Sinatra, Roxy Music, Donovan and The Cure too.

Well spotted Carl, Pablo Honey is clearly lurking in his CD wallet. As is Cult of Ray.

I imagine he thinks they're pretty good. And take a look at his CD collection on Adam And Joe's Vinyl Justice:

first few listens it struck me as inaccessable electronic lo fi rubbish. but after 10 or so listens, i'm really really digging it.

Im pretty sure thats not how they read the situation. Thom Yorke is always creaming his horn about how great the Pixies are, Im sure they've all seen him singing their praises on the Gouge documentary. Plus, there is no way his original comments could be taken out of context, it was a nice gesutre toward his boyhood heroes.

On another note, what does everyone think of The Eraser? Im really digiing it at the moment. At first I thought it was pretty shitty but it's definitely a grower.

Ah Thom, it's okay, There There. (Geddit?) *sighs*
