Colin Greenwood on CJAY 92

Some of OK Computer's lyrical ideas came off the internet, Colin Greenwood says, from computers set up behind the mixing desk.

8 April 1998 · CJAY 92 · Colin Greenwood

Colin Greenwood talks to Calgary's CJAY 92 before the sold-out show at the Max Bell Arena, from what the interviewer reckons is a penalty box. Asked why there are only 12 North American dates, the interviewer's figure, he says the band have toured and recorded without a break since 1992 and need time to rebuild their home lives, or they become sad rock and roll people. The interviewer says Q has rated OK Computer number one, and Colin says any right-minded band with an aggressive label would ride that publicity until doomsday; Radiohead would rather go away and hide for a few months. While they made OK Computer they surfed the net on computers set up behind the mixing desk, and some of its lyrical ideas came from there. They all use Apples, which they will defend. This summer will be their first properly at home since 1991 or 1992.
