Thom Yorke talks

How has Thom Yorke celebrated theofficialdeathofrecordlabels day? With a posting to the official website, of course:

hope you are enjoying listening to the download of In Rainbows.
its a relief to us all that finally its out there.
its been a mad couple of weeks.. as i'm sure you can imagine...

"I love pop music to death..... Most great composers rely on folk music. I rely on pop music.
I'm not saying I'm a great composer or that pop music is folk music. There's a whole endless thing going on out there.
You make your little pond but if your pond isn't connected to the river, which isn't connected to an ocean,
it's just going to dry up. It's just a little piss pool. I've lived too long to be happy in a pond."

I found this in WIRE magazine over a pint in the pub last night.. its Robert Wyatt

Yeah, yeah, Thom, that quote is all well and good, but bloody Robert Wyatt was saying that ages ago, so it's not even like it's new, and the font you used was pathetic, it should have been at least three pixels taller...
