Thom Yorke Plays Acoustically On BBC Radio 2

This morning started with Ronson re-versioning Radiohead, this past Saturday had Thom Yorke doing a little of the same -- playing unplugged-like on BBC Radio 2's Jonathan Ross Show. He also did an interview, discussing In Rainbows (of course) and Jonny's There Will Be Blood score (of course), but the biggest revelation is that his kids are into Red Hot Chili Peppers (of course?). You can nab the link to hear the show here or skip the talking and download "Reckoner" and "Everything In Its Right Place" below.

Thom Yorke - "Reckoner" (MP3)
Thom Yorke - "Everything In Its Right Place" (MP3)

These via At Ease. Feels like T's erasing again.

Guys, as a British pedant, he played on BBC Radio 2, not BBC2 which is a TV station.
Schoolboy error my friends, schoolboy error.

You're correct, of course, Ben. We had it right in the body, somehow erased "radio" in the header (there's a pun in there somewhere). Fixed!

Christian, that is the most truthful thing i have ever read! RHCP are shit.

Thom Yorke is God, not frusciante.
