Thom Yorke quote in Esquire

QUOTE OF THE DAY: “If we were going out and just playing the hits and shit, then I would feel very differently about things. But we're playing new things, and some of it's very difficult to play, actually. The idea that 20,000 people come and watch us do some of this music that's pretty bonkers and certainly not on the radio...that's a good thing, man. We played in Phoenix, and Ed and I came offstage and looked at each other. Did you see that?” —Thom Yorke, from “What I’ve Learned,” in the March issue of Esquire. Atoms for Peace’s debut album, Amok, is out this week on XL Recordings. (2/20a)
