Radiohead got a mention in a USA Today article about Switchfoot.
While recording Letdown, Jon and his bandmates also bumped into Radiohead ? almost literally. “We went into what we thought was our studio, and Thom Yorke and the rest of the guys were there. I thought, ‘This is so great: Radiohead is in our studio, hanging out.’ In reality, they were tracking their own record. So I walk in, introduce myself, say ‘What’s going on?’ They’re obviously completely taken aback by this kid barging in and asking questions. I walked further in, and finally Thom Yorke comes up to me and says, ‘I don’t mean to be an idiot, but if you could please leave? It’s a private studio.’ He was very kind about it, though.”

UPDATED- I was a bit hard on the poor guys from Switchfoot. In doing some homework, they aren’t the band I was thinking of (thanks to Ara and Steve for pointing that out). So Switchfoot, accept my most humble of humbles, and thanks for tuning in… -D
