It's funny that "we live in strange times (it's not my fault)" could actually be the title of a Thom's track

[marshalljoe]

Love how they played The National Anthem instead of Creep.

[silvvr.]

Thom makes me feel like it’s ok to stutter and be afraid of talking to people.

[sample.text.]

As someone with major anxiety issues, seeing Thom even just show up for this show is such a breath of fresh air.
It's nice to know that we still exist.

[Sam-rfyh]

This is the longest I’ve ever heard Thom Yorke speak.

[Gryffindor]

I've lived long enough to hear a late night band play "The National Anthem"

[sammyshort]

I never thought I'd see Thom on a late night talk show

[rubendarioibarradiaz]

For me, Thom is the "Keanu Reeves" of music.

[fluffy]

Thom Yorke is one of the coolest people in the history of the world.

[qle]

Thom on a talk show?!?!??
“Is this really happening, happening?”

[coldacre]

he looks so much more relaxed than he did 20 years ago … it’s great to see him laugh naturally

Thom Yorke: We Live In Strange Times (It's Not My Fault)
When is this single coming out?

[GM]

It's tempting to label mainstream Thom interviews as "awkward", but there's something so refreshing about a reserved and thoughtful person who doesn't bullshit or play along for the sake of being entertaining.

"Hail to the Thief" is my favorite Radiohead album. I know I'm in the minority on that one, but I just can't stop listening to it. "There, there" and "Where I end and you begin" are so beautiful as are the rest of the tracks. If you're not familiar with the album I highly recommended it.

[yuningwang]

I love how the band didn't play Radiohead's most popular songs. Instead they played The national anthem and A wolf at the door. Impressive.

[popejeffthefirst]

I'm almost 40. I've been aware, and a fan, of Radiohead since, like, 1996. I have NEVER witnessed Thom Yorke speak to any degree since that time until now. This is incredible

[dogol]

“What’s the significance of the title Anima?”

“It was a pretty word”

Thom Yorke 10/10

[lemartin]

7:29 the book Thom mentions "Why We Sleep" by Matthew Walker is actually Life Changing. It is seriously mind blowing.

[joshkresnik]

Thom literally can’t say anything without getting deep. He could read from an instruction manual and it would sound deep

[Blisteryn]

I thought he was wearing a Nirvana tshirt.
