Ed O'Brien on Adam Buxton Podcast

Adam Buxton and Ed O'Brien have been friends for some 15 years, and they recorded this at a record company's London offices before the March lockdown. Buxton admits in his introduction that he was sniffy about Radiohead for years, and was converted only when Louis Theroux made him a compilation tape in 1996 with a whole side given over to The Bends, which he still owns and had dug out that morning.

O'Brien submits to a tour of the band's early videos, which he cheerfully calls naff. They tightened up, he says, after seeing how carefully other bands put themselves together, and partly out of self-preservation after a run of films where it was obvious nobody involved knew what they were doing.

Buxton being Buxton, all of this is preceded by several minutes about his dog.
