Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood visit Sound Opinions at Chicago Public Radio and are pointed at a piano said to be the best in Chicago. Neither wants to go first. “Videotape” or something off Thom Yorke's solo record The Eraser is offered, then a deal that whoever plays, the other has to as well, then an offer to play something the station can cut up afterwards as long as it isn't a performance. “I am a chicken,” one of them says, which leads to Jonny's actual chickens, 12 or 13 of them, at his home a mile out of town. The neighbours are learning to live with them, helped by the eggs, about four a day, though the roosters sometimes start at three in the morning, in the dark. The tape ends on some piano and a little singing.
