Studio vs. Surfing: Radiohead's Thom Yorke finds parallels

Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has revealed that his Atoms For Peace bandmate Flea (of the Red Hot Chili Peppers) is teaching him to surf. Though an unlikely beach dweller, Yorke states that learning to be patient with his board in the ocean has helped him in his music career. Here's what he told The Observer about that:

"I used always to try to force things, in the studio. But it's like, you can sit out there on a board for ages waiting for the right wave to come along. You can't get angry about it. You know it will happen eventually and you start to understand the waiting itself might be part of it. Part of the fun." (NME)
