Thom Yorke spent half an hour on the message board at radiohead.com late on 8 November, posting about two dozen replies between 11.14 and 11.44 in the evening, in his usual lower case and at speed. When one fan asked him to learn to type, he told them to try doing it in a hurry.
Another fan asked whether Jonny Greenwood, the BBC Concert Orchestra's new composer in residence, has started any work for the BBC yet.
he left his viola on the train the other day. does that count?

He is noncommittal about a Christmas webcast, pointing out that Ed O'Brien is off to South America. Shown a fan's photograph of Venus, he admits he cannot get his own telescope to work unless “mr gdrich” (Nigel Godrich, the band's producer) is there to help.
Asked which effect Jonny uses on the outro of “Go to Sleep”, Yorke says Jonny programmed and built it himself in Max, the music programming software.
hence it doesnt ffyzzikally exist
