* Knowing how BrokenBase-inducing and SomethingCompletelyDifferent ''Kid A'' is, and how it wasn't really promoted with a media blitz or any singles or whatever, you can't help but feel kind of awesome when it ended up at #1 in the USA for a week. Thom himself said "We were Music/TheBeatles... for a week."

* A rather infamous one involving {{Prince}}, who is rather outspoken for his views regarding [[DigitalPiracyIsEvil videos of his live performances being put up on YouTube.]] He decided to cover Creep at a live show one evening, and someone put it up online, only for that person to be served a cease and desist letter by Prince's lawyers. Cue Thom Yorke stepping in with, "Put it back up, Creep is ''our'' song." Never has {{irony}} been so sweet.
** Even more ironic seeing as Creep is the band's BlackSheepHit.

* There's a little awesome moment during 'The Daily Mail,' which begins as a soft ballad in the vein of 'Codex' or 'Pyramid Song' and then suddenly turns into a heavy rocker. The transition gives one chills.

* Whenever the band plays "The National Anthem" live, Jonny Greenwood randomly tunes into whatever stations are being broadcast in the area via his FM radio, so you can imagine the crowd's surprise at [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Akxf5VFQCYc the band's 2012 Mansfield, MA show]] when he tunes into, of all things, ''a radio station playing free jazz''.

* The fact that Jonny programmed all of the software used for TKOL counts as a CMOA for this troper. In fact, let's just say that Jonny's obscenely wide range of musical expertise is awesome in itself. Just check out his Wikipedia article. Seriously.
