Thom Yorke on BBC Radio 1

Thom Yorke comes back for a second back-to-back with Gilles Peterson on Radio 1, about a year and a half after the first, and brings the remixes of The King of Limbs. “It was supposed to be a few,” he says, but he kept going, and 16 or 17 got done, to come out together in October. Caribou's came in first and made everyone take the idea seriously. Caribou played after Radiohead at Glastonbury, and Yorke has had lifetime respect for him since he turned up in “sandals and brown socks in the middle of Glastonbury where everyone else is caked in mud”.

He tried to bail out of his first Low End Theory set in Los Angeles after three days without sleep, until Flying Lotus, who had set it up, sent him a picture of the queue. A night at Plastic People ran until they were turned out into the dawn at 4.30, with a fresh crowd still coming in at three. “It was a little bit much for an old man to be honest.” Flea got him into Duke Ellington, and he has played the drum solo from the live at Newport record to his son, ten and a budding drummer. Clive Deamer, first seen with Roni Size, joined because none of them could play the album's rhythms with one pair of hands, and “Bloom” is the one Yorke loves playing live now they have nearly nailed it.

The question listeners asked most is touring: on and off next year, after the buzz of a chaotic Glastonbury, keeping the machine as small as they can for their sanity. Atoms for Peace, with Flea, Joey Waronker and Nigel Godrich, began as fun, working out how to play The Eraser live, and after a short American tour and a show in Japan it has turned into a record Godrich is finishing. Twenty years on, his favourite from Massive Attack's Blue Lines is “Five Man Army”; when he left college he worked in a shop that played basically Blue Lines and the Brand New Heavies. His book is Hans Fallada's Alone in Berlin, about a couple leaving anti-Hitler postcards around wartime Berlin, and what it is like to live in a country where “the morons have taken over”.
