aboard a jet airliner with the people you've worked most closely with over the past decade. you're toasting a recent sales figure and a relative hush fills the cabin as you all drain your flutes. After a moment you announce that in every glass of champagne was a full milligram of lysergic acid diethaylamide and that your private jet was in fact headed to a remote island off the coast of north korea where these people will be held for two weeks without contact to the outside world and forced to perform on demand while receiving repeated doses of hallucinogenic drugs.
Sound like an insane nightmare?
This is EXACTLY what Thom Yorke did to his band for the new album!

I wonder if those kind of doses are familiar ground for them when they play together. I always thought that Radiohead are the kind of guys to be able to have band rehearsal sessions while tripping face and not consider it to be a problem. I know that I always found psychedelics to really enhance my creative flow on the guiter, even more so jamming with other musicians who are tripping. Thom Yorke is one of them rare creative prodigies, someone who isn't a lie to himself and whom just does exactly what feels right, regardless of the stagnant social dogma. He pushes through that and shows that it's important to be free.
