Thom Yorke Performs Acoustic

Yes, two Thom Yorke posts in one day. Click here to watch an amazing acoustic (!) performance of "The Clock."

It's from this Saturday's Henry Rollins Show on IFC. Tune in and you'll also see "Cymbal Rush" (with Jonny on guitar, Nigel on beats) and an arm-wrestling match between Thom and Henry.

UPDATE: Culture Bully has MP3.

Proof that awesome guitar-playing skills beat out sparse electronic bleeps almost every time.

Almost.

I'd rather here him play something not quite as catchy.

Is there a way to grab this audio and make an mp3?

Saul, check out the messageboards on www.ateaseweb.com. There's an mp3 floating around there somewhere.

Did you notice that when Pitchfork borrowed your link, Schreiber forgot to completely erase the stereogum part?

Oops. What, isn't Pitchfork on Cornerstone Promotion/Jeffrey Thrope's email list?

I found it quite dull as well. It was impressive for the first 30 seconds/minute, but my attention really started to fade. Got the album this morning though so I'll give it a good listen today.
