Thom Yorke Wants You To Watch The Grammys, Know Who Liars Are

Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, perhaps inspired to play nice by the Album of the Year nomination In Rainbows received from the Grammys this year, has lent his visage—and his taste in music—to the award ceremony’s ad campaign, in which composites of nominated stars’ faces are created from the titles and lyrics of songs that influenced their musical development. Bjork’s “Unravel,” which Yorke has previously cited as one of his favorite songs ever, gets a nod, as does Madvillain’s “Meat Grinder.” There’s also a Liars shout-out! Anyway, a TV ad narrated by Yorke (it may sound like this, a bit) is rolling out as the broadcast gets closer, but for now, there’s a spot featuring Stevie Wonder’s musical development embedded after the jump.
