Oh I wouldn't be surprised at all if this is just a couple of people I know trying to fuck with everyone. What fake song titles are you getting?

"Berglund Räikkönen (Afterthoughts On)" a tribute song to the first casualty in the Finnish Civil War at the Battle of Asplund

I mean come on

Here's the spoof review: http://www.popsense.com/2009/08/radiohead-wall-of-ice-ep-review-new-mp3.html

I like that they give away an mp3 though

Haha, nice. The random songtitles I'm seeing include "Wasting" and "Already Finished Upwards," which at least sound more appropriate.

Where are you seeing that?

And 'fucking with people' confirmation just received. IMM should do an album of these like we all did with the U2 album.

this twisted words song is a fucking jam

heard it on the radio this morning and i like it a lot. it reminds me of a smeared and smudged Tortoise and a bit of Joy Division, too.

Reminds me of a Neu! song, but then so did Bodysnatchers.

Or "Silence" by Portishead.

maybe they entered their krautrock phase. there are worse styles to go for.

cunga otm; I thought the same fucking thing

Didn't Radiohead already have a Krautrock phase?

Hmm. The only obviously krautrock-y song I can think of by RH is Cuttooth, and it sucks.

They've been influenced by krautrock since Kid A / Amnesiac.

In the same way as a wasp is "influenced" by a light bulb.

but there is hardly any track on those two that sounds like krautrock. for a start krautrock songs are usually jams, they go on and on without too much happening. on amnesiac there is a lot happening.

No. Not exactly.

amnesia is far too diverse for krautrock. each song is a little universe in itself. each song has its own groove. the only krautrock band which managed something a little similar is can.

amnesiac of course.

National Anthem anyone?

Here's the Neu! song that Bodysnatchers always reminded me of:

really? but where is the diabolic addictive groove on bodysnatchers which is extremely pale in comparison?

now i can't decide if i like the drums chugging along in 4/4 when the song is in 5/4. it flows more and it's more subtle than being all "this song is in 5, this song is in 5" but it makes the groove pretty disconnected.

Phil gone soft rock

Good Neu! song. xpost

My not-so-deep-thoughts on the reissues via the Quietus.

Great approach.

Too kind. It seemed like the ONLY thing to say at this point, really.

I don't really understand why people have so much to say about these reissues to begin with. Oh horror, the label that financed and promoted these albums to begin with wants to release new versions to 'cash in' after the band's left the label! Those evil capitalists, what will they think of next!!

It's wacky! It's like they're in it for the money!

I was mildly enthused by the reissued '90s albums because I remember spending a lot of money on imports to get those b-sides at the time (pre-filesharing, and pre-internet convenience really). Nice to have them all in one place now. The '00s albums are just less of a concern altogether.

prob a cool thing to have (i love my pulp diff class reissue for instance) but it does make them a bit less special when its all neatly compiled on one second disc.

thinking it's "more special" to collect songs one at a time on overpriced singles instead of getting them in one economical package is probably buying into music industry bullshit more than any reissue program

True. One of the first things I did after getting a cd burner was put all those Radiohead b-sides/ep tracks in one place.

am getting a 404

Re: Radiohead & Krautrock, 'Where I End and You Begin' has a very kraut feel to me

Thom Yorke at the Echoplex Friday night? Your official non-denial, non-confirmation answer
October 1, 2009 | 12:06 pm

So there's a hot rumor that Thom Yorke and his new assembled band will be performing a clandestine show at the Echoplex Friday night before their two-night stand at the Orpheum this weekend. We reached Yorke's publicist by phone just now, and this is the current official line on the show's factual existence.

"We cannot confirm nor deny it, but we will confirm or deny it by tomorrow morning."

So coy. So cryptic. So Thom Yorke. We're not saying to get your camping gear out just yet, but there is a very conspicuous empty slot on the Echoplex's show calendar for Friday night. Maybe you should keep your Sterno in an easily reachable place, if, say, you need to grab it before claiming a spot on a Glendale Boulevard sidewalk in the next 24 hours.

Thom Yorke fans kill Ticketweb ... briefly
October 2, 2009 | 1:29 pm

Well that was expectantly fast.

Thom Yorke's last-minute show tonight at the Echoplex went on sale today via Ticketweb, and the site reported the gig was sold out by the time Pop & Hiss was even able to access the show listing.

For those keeping score at home, it took about seven minutes to crack through to the site, with every regular concertgoer's worst nightmare -- the dreaded "processing" page instructing users not to touch their Web browsers -- creating a virtual moat between us and the opportunity to see Radiohead's frontman in cramped quarters.

Worse, some of our office comrades who actually fought their way through Internet traffic jams and found an on-sale screen were still waiting for Ticketweb to process their requests at 12:28 p.m. -- almost 30 minutes after the on-sale time (we're good at math, to boot). Of course, with a capacity of well under 1,000, we expected as much.

Tickets soon hit Craigslist and eBay. As of the time of this posting, Craigslist seemed to be the better bargain, with tickets selling for around $750. On auction site eBay, expect to shell out a couple months' rent for a pair, as tickets are listed for about $3,500 -- buyer beware, of course.Yorke will also appear at downtown's Orpheum Theatre Sunday and Monday, and those tix are more of a bargain -- a seat looks like it can be snagged for about $150 on Craigslist.

Anyone who had success getting tickets, we invite your stories of ticket-purchasing heroism in the comments section below. Those who failed, we want your horror stories as well.

Apparently rumours were true. They did make a song for the latest Bond film. This is so much better than the Sam Smith song. Way more interesting and despite the weird rhythm I somehow think it would have fared better in the charts. The Sam Smith only has one memorable hook, if they wanted to get Adele's level of success they should have went for someone else than these two.

Lana del Rey's 24 (suppossedly another rejected track) is also more fitting than the Sam Smith one. I prefer female singers on bond themes to be honest.

Nice ballad
