^^^^what's so tantalising is that my father is also a photographer for this paper. If only he could have got the passes instead.

OK, I hate it, hate it, hate it, when people do this about women, and I'm well aware of how offensive I'm about to be, and yet, I cannot stop myself from shouting out...

Am I gonna be thrown out of the Thomosexuals if I admit I'm not crazy about the stuff he does with Modeselektor? (Though I'm not actually sure I like Modeselektor that much without Apparat to pretty them up.)

I love Shipwreck, but This and The White Flash are a bit on the dull side. I like the Burial/Four Tet singles with Thom from last year a lot more.

Knowing that shot was from the LA DJ MOCA thing they did, this just comes to mind:

At least his hair now is all his own. Unlike when he wrote those lyrics.

I wonder if some of those AFP tracks are remixes rather than the eventual album tracks. The first one sounds like proper Thom, but the rest sound a lot like they've been reworked by others.
― Melissa W, Sunday, 29 April 2012 14:37 (twelve years ago) link
I was under the impression that they were live remixing on the fly? (Though that's only based on listening, it's hard to tell if Thom is actually doing something or just dancing and checking twitter in the videos.)
I hope that they're not changed too much from the album versions as I like the clicky bleepbloops.
― They have fangs, They have teeth! (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Sunday, 29 April 2012 14:55 (twelve years ago) link
(All these DJ-ing videos that keep popping up do amuse me, though, to find out that for all Thom's talk of DJing and DJ culture, he can't actually beatmatch to save his life.)
― They have fangs, They have teeth! (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Sunday, 29 April 2012 15:06 (twelve years ago) link
Could be. It just struck me how untouched that first track sounded compared to the others.
― Melissa W, Sunday, 29 April 2012 15:09 (twelve years ago) link
Think the first track is just a song-y bone to throw the ateasers howling for "proper songs" and "less bleeps and bloops" before the album jumps off into the pure "electronic dance music" album he keeps telling people he's going to release.
I want the album to be 12 versions of the long version of Twist just to piss people off, but I would.

Also, how is his ponytail so cute?

Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan: 'I'll piss on Radiohead'
― Turangalila, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 16:56 (twelve years ago) link
"pompous"
A minute later, Corgan, still probing, finally finds the key to Thayil’s heart: “I hate how in magazine pictures, they always stick me somewhere in the back.”
Kim Thayil explodes: “What do you mean? You write all the songs, and you do all the interviews. You play the instruments on the album. You control the band to the extent that most people think of Smashing Pumpkins as the Billy Corgan Experience, and all you care about is some photograph?”
“But I hate it,” Corgan says, “it means they don’t think I’m the cute one.”
“Ooh,” Thayil says a little too loudly as Corgan walks away, “I’ll bet he’s going to call his therapist in Chicago, wake her up at four in the morning, and tell her about that big, mean bear who made fun of him.”
The next day at the Big Day Out festival, Thayil is talking to Kim and Kelley Deal in the Breeders’ dressing room when Corgan walks past wearing a long-sleeved Superman T-shirt like the one your four-year-old nephew probably owns.
“You hurt me deeply,” Corgan says, touching the giant S on his chest and pouting. “You hurt me deeply in my heart."

How many times do you think I can listen to Full Stop? Or Ful Stop, which I refuse to accept.

Please do not besmirch our good and pure Radiohead thread of love with his idiocy.

There's nothing you (or he) can do to make me click on an interview with that attention seeking idiot. He can troll Radiohead fans all he likes, I have no attention to give him.
You may be forgiven if you can find a cuet picture of The Ponytail, though. ;-)

I don't view guitar playing as a competition and really can't fucking stand the mentality that would treat it as one.
It doesn't matter who's a "better" guitarist. It matters that Jonny Greenwood plays the *right* guitar for Radiohead songs.
I just KMT at that whole kind of thing and want nothing to do with it.

That Corgan quote is completely out of context. He was just saying that Richie Blackmore is better than Johnny or himself and that he pisses on any ranking (they don't specify which one he was talking about) that says otherwise and doesn't give 'the true rock gods' their proper respect.
― Moka, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 20:20 (twelve years ago) link
Also Full Stop is amazing. This and Skirting on the Surface are my favorite of the new songs live. Not feeling Identikit and Cut A Hole yet.

It's not particular out of context that he said he would piss on Radiohead themselves. And you should listen to Identikit more.
