STREAM Atoms For Peace :: AMOK Album (MP3)

One of the more interesting reversals in rock came in 2009 when Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke took to the stage for an encore during a solo show at The Echoplex in Los Angeles. Performing mainly songs off his Erasure album, Yorke was joined by Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea and longtime Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich.
