Anyway, here is my POX. It looks very much like an alternative OKC track listing, not because everything else they've done sucks, but before OKC was such a classic:
1. Exit Music (For Films)2. Paranoid Android3. Let Down4. Subterranean Homesick Alien5. Lucky6. Airbag7. High And Dry8. Karma Police9. Fake Plastic Trees10.The Tourist

xp idgi, "Fitter Happier" barely registers with me at this point except as a collection of cliches (which admittedly may have been less cliched in 1996) with sound-design just interesting enough to keep from skipping ahead to hear "Electioneering" -- admittedly a good idea to sequence it after "Karma Police" (for CD anyway; on the 2xLP "Karma Police" closes side 2, "Fitter Happier" kicks off the second disc, & I am getting tripped up trying to imagine this)maybe I need to relisten

MaresNest I respect & honor your idiosyncratic choice of "The Tourist", in ways that I categorically refuse to extend to anyone who reps "Fitter Happier"
Davey D are you part of the surprising silent majority of "Nice Dream" lovers, or did we already go over this on another thread?(fwiw I have listened to (Nice Dream) a handful of times since then & have come to appreciate what others see in it, not least: its ability to hold up under repeated listening scrutiny)

Bernard, is it really that unusual? The cut bar/chord change combo in the verses is so lovely.
― MaresNest, Monday, 16 May 2016 18:49 (eight years ago) link
The eight OKC era b-sides alone make a fantastic mini album.
― MaresNest, Monday, 16 May 2016 18:52 (eight years ago) link
Nice Dream would be one of my choices for old songs which I'd love to hear re-recorded and adapted to the new AMSP arrangements and production values.

Davey D are you part of the surprising silent majority of "Nice Dream" lovers, or did we already go over this on another thread?
Definitely didn't discuss on another thread - I'm not sure what it is I love so much about this song. It just possesses this humble, melancholy air that nothing else from this era of Radiohead quite hits upon, at least for me... I'm also happily surprised to see it popping up so frequently here.
― Davey D, Monday, 16 May 2016 19:06 (eight years ago) link
I should possibly note that my experience of Radiohead was entirely derived from albums + a few music videos back in the day ; my first and only experience of them as a live band was earlier this week, when I youtubed a clip from Austin City Limits in which Thom Yorke does a little swaggy dance while singing "Broken hearts / Make it rain"
in other words, if some people were to like "Nice Dream" because it's a song from the band's earlier incarnation which they've continued to play live throughout the years -- that entire dimension would be lost on me
― bernard snowy, Tuesday, 17 May 2016 00:28 (eight years ago) link

top ten dr tchock enunciations
haven't listened to any of these in a while but they are burned into my brain
TEN. "lemon" - you know the one, when the song starts to turn and you can picture him screwing his wee little face up9. "does" - this goes on for such a long time it goes through several forms, transcends its meaning and becomes a delicate mystery8."cafés" - spat out very nicely with an extra syllable and everything7. "wide" - good synergy between semantic content and underenunciated gaping delivery where it sounds like he might be drowning in his own voiceSIX."fire" - captures the whole vibe in one good moment5. "uncle" - demented grunt for the first syllable a particular highlight4. "California" - mb grimes has topped this in terms of expansive delivery but the way he rouses himself to reach the third syllable is A+ tchocky goodness3/ "holy" - he sounds so weary2. "roman" - like the last man alive at the end of the world doing his duty1. "empire" - it never fails to make my heart sing

I don’t think I’ll ever love an album of theirs as much as I love Kid A so that’s always top tier for me but I find it weird that the songs from the TKOL sessions are the other ones I keep coming back to the most. Is TKOL my second favorite Radiohead album!?
