That's the ugliest sentence I've written in a long time...but do you catch my drift?

BTW; I'd love it if they worked together.

I understand exactly what you are saying. I guess I didn't mean their approach to music in such specific ways is necessarily similar...and to be honest I don't know enough about Yorke's specific approach to compare to LB's.

But I see similiarities in their approach to music-making as a whole. In that they both don't want to try to recreate some "commercial" sound. They both want to be innovative and make left turns with their music.

I also see parallels between their personalities. I'll copy this from Thom's biography:

"Yorke has explained in various interviews that he dislikes the 'mythology' he feels is endemic within the rock genre, and hates the media's obsession with celebrity. In interviews, he does not seem to be particularly taken with the idea of being famous, or even show that he feels it is necessary that he is asked questions about his music. Despite his efforts to downplay his status, he is still looked upon as one of the most important musicians of his time."

and this:

Yorke has claimed never to listen to Radiohead records after they are released, and it appears this will be the case for the forthcoming album. "I will dread listening to it all after we have left in the real world. I always dread that. I'd much rather start something new and forget," Yorke recently wrote in Radiohead's blog.

Now, we know LB listens to albums, but as of late, doesn't he seem to have the same sort of attitude towards his music? He seems to want to move forward and get out new music and "forget" some of his older solo material.

Yorke is much more computer-savvy than LB though. He likes to use Pro Tools to edit his music. Can you imagine what would happen if Lindsey and him were let loose in a studio together? I don't know, I just think it'd be wonderful.
