Thom Yorke Talks
Phil Sutcliffe, Q, 2003
THE SCENE SHOULD you need it: quiet, sunny May Tuesday morning in Oxford. 10am and all quiet because the students are in bed or at college or sitting exams. Standard sign-off on a street conversation seems to be, "Ah well, I must go and give this lecture." More or less everything in site is pretty damn old, including the bikes stacked up against the walls of Worcester College.
