King of Limbs may be the remnant of the unfinished Q-Tip/Radiohead collaborative album from 2008-2010

we really really need a fucking proper in depth interview on king of limbs.

here are eight simple questions i'd ask radiohead.

*did king of limbs evolve from a collab you were doing with q-tip? what exactly was going on in those drew barrymore sessions and was q-tip involved (like seriously, someone hit up one of the many celebrities who were there and get details!)

*did you see king of limbs as your dance record, your pop record, even maybe your r&b or (!) hip hop record, and you were disappointed no one else saw it this way? were you secretly expecting lotus flower would be an urban radio hit?

*why the hell did you plan to debut lotus flower on a giant screen over the busiest intersection in tokyo, and having made that plan, also why the hell did you cancel it at the last minute mere minutes before?

*is lotus flower about someone you fucked while you were with rachel, maybe a woman in tokyo? is the whole album addressed to her? is this the same girl amok material is about? or did you have so many different affairs each song is different?

*do you use a lcd hairsystem, especially in the lotus video? no really, i'm serious. cause it's pretty good. what is the model name and number. just for future reference, you know. off the record. oh that last question? def off record too.

*does lotus flower video take place in the lodge of twin peaks? are you possessed by BOB thom? or aren't you? be honest. yes, that is a mirror and i am fucking going to... thom, you broke another mirror!!!! you're turning into something you are not.

*what do you think of bon iver, bon iver album (cause i know you think something about it). (no really be honest.) (and how about giving your thoughts on mylo xyloto, too. and how about that cover font. nice font huh? this one's pink huh?)

*by the way, you were trying to make the cover text of king of limbs look like shit, right? just checking. you did a good job. with mere different cover design, you might have easily had a pitchfork 9.6. but you want that 7.9, right? okay. i respect that.
