Thom Yorke "wastes energy left, right and centre"
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver August 14th, 2006

A campaigner for Friends of the Earth he may be, but Radiohead singer Thom Yorke has told an Australian newspaper that he doesn't do enough for the environment.

Yes, it is a slow news day.

Yorke spoke to the Sydney Morning Herald:

"I have no integrity in these things, I haven't done enough. I don't have solar panels on my house yet. I haven't sorted out the heating, my car's not a Prius, I fucking fly all the time for my job and I hate it but at the moment I haven't really got a choice, you know, and all these things.

“The job I'm in is a job that wastes energy left, right and centre. It's madness."

Get yourself a slice of said madness next week, when Yorke's first solo single 'Harrowdown Hill' is released. His debut album, The Eraser, is out now on XL.
