Pitchfork: My favorite song on the record is probably "House of Cards", largely because it sounds like the closest Radiohead have ever come to making an Al Green song-- it seems so easy and effortless.
CG: It's funny you say that because we had different versions of it. There was one where Jonny had this bass riff that made it sound more R.E.M.-y. But then Phil [Selway] and Thom [Yorke] reworked it and came up with this amazing rhythm. But then we had to wait a year to record it, which was difficult. I've been looking at footage from Bonnaroo in 2006 when we were playing that song in front of 80,000 people and it just sounds great. All the kids were throwing their glowsticks in the air. People were obviously out of their minds at midnight in Tennessee. To be able to be like that is hard-- to have that soulfulness, you know? But that's what everyone should aspire to in a way. That immediacy. But it's really fucking difficult.
