I didn’t expect to meet somebody from pop music who was really quite a normal person,” Penderecki laughs. “He dresses very normal, he has dignity and very good manners.

  1. Interviewer: Jonny, I noticed you're wearing wrist support... too much guitar lately?
  2. Jonny: Yes, I have an injury that usually 40 year old typists get, but I have it and I'm 22, so there you go.
  3. Interviewer: Because of Radiohead?
  4. Jonny: Yes, too much typing.

  2. Thom Yorke: We went to school together.
  3. Jonny Greenwood: I've known my brother for quite a long time, so that's how I got in the band.

Well, we spent more time on it than we should have done and you go a bit mental after a while. You listen to something like ‘Reckoner’ and think, maybe this is just a bad break beat. Now I can hear what’s good about it. People around us were telling us it was really good, but what do they know? What do we know?

2007

  1. Mojo: Has the songwriting process changed significantly since Kid A/Amnesiac?
  2. Jonny Greenwood: No. It’s still mostly Thom’s songs and us helping out on a few bits and pieces. All the albums seem to have that same balance.

[In Rainbows] didn’t really feel like a non-EMI record. EMI were always very good about leaving us alone until we’d finished, at least ever since Pablo Honey. We just recorded in a different house with worse plumbing and lived in tents for a while. Some of it was recorded at the Radiohead studios. Then we hired a big crumbling house down Somerset way with no running water and rat poison everywhere. It was a bit grim. It had been a school, then a rehab centre, then abandoned for 20 years. Weird place.

I’m into the idea of singles and EPs. Jonny and I were never convinced about that whole thing with Kid A; ‘We don’t release singles. This is an album, and that’s it.’ What gets me down is the emphasis on the LP. It’s one of our strengths. You can create a more exciting picture with lots of different things that you put together. But I want something that gets you on the dance floor. I always have. But we never do that.
Thom Yorke, 2006
