Did ya catch Thom and Bjork on last night’s Space Ghost Coast to Coast? We’re pretty certain that the footage of Thom (without scratchy beard) was actually recorded back in 1998 when he was first rumored to be doing the show.
It appears that Thom Yorke will appear on the Cartoon Network show Space Ghost Coast to Coast on September 2, 2001 at 11:30pm ET. The episode is titled “Knives Out” and this is what Space Ghost is saying about it:
It is evident that the modern German literary tradition encompasses nature poetry and classic narratives of the metropolis more uneasily than any other in “Knifin’ Around.”
While the celebration of the pastoral is as old as literature itself, the troubled history of writing on Thom Yorke has become a peculiarly German preoccupation. Exploration of the city, meanwhile, especially the burgeoning Prussian and Austrian capitals, helped to define our understanding of the Bjork.
Yet today, the contemporary state of the Grofstadtroman, especially with respect to Berlin in the wake of reunification, and Vienna, which finds itself once more at Sunday, September 2, at 11:30 p.m. (e/p)

Third Eye Blind’s Stephen Jenkins recently mentioned Radiohead in an interview he did with MTV:
“I feel like I’ve come out of my dark period,” he said. “I feel really romantic about the life that I’m living again and everything seems fresh and exciting. I heard Thom Yorke [of Radiohead] say he wasn’t interested in rock anymore. Well I am, and I’m still moved by it. I’m interested in creating these musical emotions and conditions that are real, and that you can step into.”

Thom the roadie
Their is an article up at Chart Attack about the Beta Band touring with Radiohead. Here’s a snippet:
When they did the first Western leg of the tour with Radiohead they were so financially destitute that their tour manager didn? have a cellphone. This left publicists stranded when trying to contact them for interviews. They couldn? afford roadies either and MacLean said that problem was solved by, “Radiohead help us out with roading. They move a lot of our equipment on stage for us. Thom Yorke carries Steve? [Mason] guitar on stage every night for him. They?e quite muscly. You wouldn? think it, but Thom Yorke? a tough wee guy.”
