Asked about the running order, Yorke said the band were listening to the record as he wrote, before sending it off for mastering, and NME reports that it is finished and due on 9 June.
“I Froze Up” and “Good Morning Mr Magpie”, two of the songs first heard on the band's Christmas webcast, would definitely turn up in a box somewhere soon, he said. A fan who told him “Myxomatosis” has to be on the record got back only a request to make sure it is okay.
Asked about Tony Blair, he answered that Blair is in a corner. He has taken us all with him. But there are lots of baddies in this.
