<STRONG>Byrne:</STRONG> That's it, we're done. [<EM>Laughs.</EM>] OK. I'll start by asking some of the business stuff. What you did with this record wasn't traditional, not even in the sense of sending advance copies out to the press and such.

<STRONG>Yorke:</STRONG> The way we termed it was "our leak date." Every record for the last four — including my solo record — has been leaked. So the idea was like, we'll leak it, then.
