Radiohead and Jack White will collaborate?
- We're entering the realm of speculation, but the key was given to us by Mr. Thom Yorke in person...Indeed, when Radiohead's triumphant headlining set at the 2012 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival was near the end, Yorke gave a special shout-out to Jack White, and hinted at an upcoming collaboration between the two alt-rock veterans. "This song is for Jack White, we saw him yesterday. A big thank-you to him, but we can't tell you why. You'll find out" he told the crowd, seconds before leading the band into new song "Supercollider".
White's Third Man Records studio is located in Nashville (nearly an hour away from Manchester, Tenn., where Radiohead played last Friday) and this could be a good starting point. There Beck recorded his limited edition single for the label, "I Just Started Hating Some People Today," which features the former White Stripes frontman. Could a similar one-off collaboration come out between White and Radiohead, or White and Yorke? Or maybe it's a more extensive work?
Anyway, as Yorke told the crowd, we'll will find out soon enough.
