Thom Yorke's Election Day Playlist

by Ciaran Thompson

The general election in jolly old ends today and with the Conservative Party looking to come out ahead of the others, Radiohead singer Thom Yorke has posted a pissed off/happy, depending how you look at it, playlist on his band’s website Dead Air Space. “On election day in these fair british isles.. avert your cynical eyes,” Yorke says. The first track on the list is “The Lunatics (Have taken over the Asylum)” by Fun Boy Three. On a lighter note, the Green Party, whom Yorke is a vocal supporter of, is expected to get its first parliamentary seat in Brighton.
