Thom Yorke doesn't read music. Well. I guess that scratches needing to read music off the list of things that need to be in place in order to make incredible music.

@Trent, comeback kid never said you said he was an official member. He was instead saying that you should have asked if Clive was an official member or just for the tour. And yes this interview is atrocious. You might as well have asked if he gets a hard on at the sight of Thom Yorke.

Congrats on the success you've had in being in a position the interview Portishead, Clive, etc. But you do come off as a bit brash, amateur, fanboyish... which is breaking many rules of interviewing 101. But, then again, I guess there's a reason you're where you are and I'm where I am. Glad to hear a bit from Clive's perspective, even if he was a bit weirded out by the experience. Thanks for the interview

I found this interview to be a thoroughly enjoyable read. It's absolutely refreshing to read something different, where the subject is pressed by an abnormal question. I like it because it isn't borish music writing 101. I also could care less if he's an official member or not. The man is playing with Radiohead, and Moorman is talking to him about it. In the process, he has some fun with it. What, did you want him to write a manifesto? The people who have a problem with this interview need to freshen up on their sense of humor. There is this thing called humor. Don't be such a drag. .

Really. Who cares if he's an official member or not. If you read this and are getting worked up over whether or not he is an "official member" or not, you need to take yourself out into the woods and never come back.

I really enjoyed this interview- it's great to read one that is outside the box. There are plenty interviews out there done by reporters that ask the same lame questions and obviously don't know or care too much about the subject. Thanks for doing something interesting.

Seriously, who cares if he's an "official" member("you said member, mmheh heh heh"). They ain't the fuggin Allman Bros. with bookend dual drummers as a trademark, so who knows what the lineup will be a year from now... Trent M is a drummer too right? So he's the logical choice to interview the drummer who just got his dream gig. Flourishes, flaws and all, it was an entertaining interview that makes me want to go work the Radiohead show just to check out the new bloke/new arrangements.

But I have to admit, it almost seemed at the end that Clive D was good-naturedly telling Moorman to "knock it off with the peyote masturbation verbiage already, 'right mate?"

Mr. Yorke and mates do great stuff, but Mozart my ass. What rock stars can you name besides Zappa & the Mothers who can read/ transcribe everything they play onstage?? But yeah, Amadeus was well-known for shakin that ass at high society balls, and the events were never small: the duchesses and countesses say he had the biggest balls of all...

I like the humor Moorman uses. I was interested to find out what Deamer thinks about when he plays. Too bad he chose to be a stiff. This is a much more entertaining that some stuffy interview where the questions have all been asked a million times.

I'm a big Radiohead fan but your gushing over the band in that interview was kind of odd. I don't necessarily disagree with your overall sentiment but many parts were just overly descriptive and dramatic. I think good writing gets the poInt across in just a few carefully worded statements, right?
