Richard D. James (aka Aphex Twin) did a recent interview with Kludge Sound magazine and was asked about Radiohead:
Would you play with Radiohead?
No. I wouldn’t play with them since I don’t like them. It’s hard enough to go on tour with a band you like and see them play the same songs every night. It’s even worst if you don’t even like them.
