Thom Yorke, who made a rare public appearance, and Ed O'Brien collected the award on October 21, at Ex Saatchi Gallery, in London. “A lot of time, when we’ve made a record, we think we've just done the most stupid thing we could have possibly ever done,” said a very quiet Thom Yorke. “So things like this mean a lot to us otherwise we wouldn't still have the confidence to carry on, because that's what we like.” |

Grazie ai soliti sospetti del management, a Nigel (Godrich) e a tutti coloro che ci hanno votato”, esordito Ed, ritirando il premio. Thom Yorke: “Spesso, quando siamo in studio, quando realizziamo un album, pensiamo che questa sia la cosa più stupida che abbiamo mai potuto fare. Si! E perchè no? Visto che stiamo ancora imparando! Perciò cose del genere significano tanto per noi, altrimenti non avremmo la sicurezza per continuare, perchè è questo che ci piace. Perciò grazie di cuore a tutti coloro che hanno deciso che questa era una buona idea”. |
