A campaigner for Friends of the Earth he may be, but Radiohead singer Thom Yorke has told an Australian newspaper that he doesn't do enough for the environment.
Yes, it is a slow news day.
Yorke spoke to the Sydney Morning Herald:
"I have no integrity in these things, I haven't done enough. I don't have solar panels on my house yet. I haven't sorted out the heating, my car's not a Prius, I fucking fly all the time for my job and I hate it but at the moment I haven't really got a choice, you know, and all these things.
“The job I'm in is a job that wastes energy left, right and centre. It's madness."
Get yourself a slice of said madness next week, when Yorke's first solo single 'Harrowdown Hill' is released. His debut album, The Eraser, is out now on XL.
...
There are all kinds of ways you could construe that comment. But I like Radiohead, so I'll leave it to someone else.
well
maybe he should just stay in england, and play us all lots of gigs, fuck other countries, makes me happy just tihnking about that.though i am suprised he hasn't got any solor pannals or anything like that.
he said
pretty much the same thing in OMM a while back - so is wasting a load of paper too
I like Radiohead
I respect Yorke.
But he really IS quite humorless
really
you've not heard radiohead doing wonderwall, have you? tis quite funny. but no, i agree, he doesn't have a huge sence of humour
I agree...
I love Radiohead's music and I appreciate Thom Yorke's talent, but, like someone said, he is humorless...
its spelt humourless
unless you are american.
thom yorke isn't a comedian so why even comment on his humour levels?
nice to see him owning up to his environmental hypocrisy. we are all hypocrites. to lesser or greater degrees (ahem, chris "4x4" martin).
I am familiar
with the two variants of the word humor/humour
I choose Humor
...
Sorry about that; I'm mexican...
Oh, and by the way...
... I don't consider him being a comedian, but I always like to take note of all my favorite(in the UK it's spelt "favourite", but I live in California, so I use "favorite") artists' personality and charisma. Music charms me, but combined with charisma, it owns my soul... Is that something wrong?
Once again, forgive me for my spelling skills. I am a mexican born in America, but I lived many years in Mexico, so I'm not very good with my english...
....
i think he has wonderful sense of humour, why else would he do that thing with his eyes every time a camera is pointed at him.........
He's certainly
got an eye for detail.
I went there
...
Oh no you didn't!!!!
Further to the point, I too believe Yorke has a healthy sense of humour - how else can you explain the Idioteque dance? Aside from Epilepsy...
;ox
Cabbage eye and environmental issues aside, Radiohead rule !!!
Roll on Sat !!
you should see
the dancing in the video for just, proper cool, seriously
i don't respect
someone who's hair looks like that
I don't respect you
- how d'you like that?
how can you not respect thom yorke
hear the music, tell me theres not 100% talent in it, and then i might belive taht you don't, but i'll also kinda not talk to you. lolz
FUN FACT
it takes more energy to manufacture a solar panel than the solar panel will generate over its lifetime. people with solar panels on their roof who think they are saving the planet are retarded.
really?
could you please send me a link where this is proven, about the solo pannal thing. cause they pay themselves off after about 40 years, and i don't think it all makes sence if thats true?
hmm
ok, on further investigation i found out that solar cells are now easier to produce and so can generate enough energy to make themselves worthwhile. it seems that it is in fact I who is retarded!
