That rarest of beasts: an interviewer who has actually done some background research.

Ed is so polite and thom is so sarcy haha

Damn this interviewer knows his Radiohead. So refreshing to see in an interviewer

In rainbows Thom is my favorite Thom

Thom has mastered the blinking shrug

18:16 Can I still be a good dad and put the hours in in the studio, something has to give

Based on the album that came out

"I sold my kids" - ed obrien

16:03 warms my heart

My favorite Radiohead interview. The juxtaposition of Ed and Thom bouncing off each other so well and the interviewer not only asking interesting questions but talking to the band like a fan, like one of us would, if we got to talk to the band ourselves.  They seem open, comfortable, and equally matched.

Such a great interview -  why can't more Irish presenters have the love of music that Dave Fanning has?

ed looks a bit like hugh laurie

3:52 Thom’s sippin’ that tea

Honestly, this is why I love Radiohead. Watching Thom and Ed sit there, describing the difficulties they had making In Rainbows, the schtick they got for going in an experimental direction and putting In Rainbows out as a "pay what you want" record. It really humanizes them and shows you how they love music and the art of it.

Ed O'Brian, invariably known by bandmates and friends as Radio Ed

I live so happy knowing that this band will be the defining band of this generation. Like the Beatles, like Pink Floyd their music doesn’t age. When they break up or stop making music it will be a very sad day for the music industry.

Thom: “We saw a cliff and we wanted to jump off of it”

Is this the origin story for “Codex”??

there's "tough sometimes" and then there's "two and a half years of tough" lol. Fanning got them to talk about the dark years way more than usual. Great job.

we should talk more about ed´s unbelievable hotness

That face Thom makes after saying "Truly political... truly democratic...:

4:34 in 1996, after pinkpop festival, Ed said the same thing: "It's about the spirit of the thing", "It's about to do good music, to please ourselves..." I love to see that his principles didn't change, but I love even more how their musicality changed from that time, how they evoluted...

18:00 like an old couple😂😂
