Questa non la sapevo, preziosissimo! Grazie 

Q: "On Kid A there's a song called 'How To Disappear Completely' and the lyrics refer to you floating down the what?" 

Thom: "The Liffey." 

Q: "The Liffey? Tell us about that." 

Thom: "That song was originally written years ago. We were about to do some big festival in Ireland. I was up all night, having the most terrible dreams, I was so shit-scared. And I had one of those really, really vivid dreams and the Liffey was really, really muddy, like a mud river, and I was drifting down to the sea. And it just sort of stuck." 

Q: "You were scared in terms of stage fright?" 

Thom: "Yes, absolutely cacking myself. It was the biggest gig we'd ever done."

Probabilmente anche il testo di Like Spinning Plates si riferisce a quest'esperienza, visto che dice "floating down a muddy river"

mhhh sicuro? il muddy river di Spinning Plates ho sempre pensato fosse lo Stige, il fiume dantesco

Nella mitologia lo Stige era uno dei fiumi degli inferi: esso si estendeva in nove grandi meandri che formavano una palude, detta palude Stigia, che ostacolava la strada per arrivare al vestibolo dell'oltretomba.
