Radiohead are hitting the studio again to work on new material in December and January. "We can get things together quite rapidly at the moment," says Thom Yorke. The singer spoke of having one new song, Come To Your Senses, almost ready to go but declined to discuss how or when the new tracks might see the light of day. "I don't know how we would release them," he said. "It would be nice to make it all part of the flow and just enjoy it - not think about it too much."

"I really hate them [Chelsea]. They have also got a weird fanbase. They are either high toffery or really horrible cockney types," he said when quizzed on his football alliances.
