I think just being a total geek and embarrassing myself in front of Thom Yorke several times was what I remember. Just because he’s quite elusive and like, he’s a lovely guy but he’s quite difficult to kind of create conversation, you know, like a situation where you can just talk, and I think I sort of told him once that— [breaks out laughing]. I was wearing pajamas with weird rainbow patterns on the bottom, and he was wearing what I thought were red pajama bottoms, and I was like, “My pajamas are sooo much cooler than your pajamas.” And he was like, “Uhh, these are trousers I’m wearing on stage tonight,” and I was like, “Oh. [long pause] Sorry.” And he was like, “They cost me quite a lot for pajamas.” And I was just like, “Ohhhh, fuuuuuuckkkk.” So I was trying to be funny and I just kept putting my foot in it and insulting him basically [laughs].
And eventually— he was really sweet, and we did have good chats, and we kind of just punched, you know like [laughing, smacks Pitchfork playfully on the arm] “Hey, what’s the,” really embarrassing, you know like, you like somebody and you’re trying to talk to them and you end up just hitting them and tripping over them. It was kind of like that situation. [laughs]
