Paul Thomas Anderson has directed a new Radiohead video, according to US author and comedian Stefanie Wilder-Taylor.
Letting the news slip in her podcast For Crying Out Loud – despite having signed a non-disclosure agreement – she tells a story about the There Will Be Blood director shooting scenes for the new clip in her house.
“Oh, this happened, I forgot to tell you,” she explains. “So, I’m at home and there’s a knock at the door… there’s a guy with a clipboard. I come to the door with a scowl on my face and the guy says, ‘Hey, we’re in the neighbourhood, we’re going to be shooting a music video.’ So now, I’m thinking you’re basically telling me – what happens a lot in my neighbourhood, because it’s a very typical suburban looking neighbourhood – I’m gonna be inconvenienced.”
“Then the guy goes – ‘it’s Radiohead!’ I can’t tell you anything about it. I’m guessing that’s the non-disclosure part. Between us girls, Radiohead – I don’t give a shit, I don’t get it. I’ve heard one song I don’t care about – ‘Creep’. Yeah, you’re a creep and a loser and you’re putting me to sleep.”
Not sure that’s quite how the chorus goes, but it’s close enough.
Radiohead’s ninth album is due at some point. Could be today, could be next month. Keep your eyes on Companies House for more important updates.
