RAdiohead

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

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.

Really good article from Colin Greenwood.

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

New one is beautiful, hits it out of the park

The strings sound amazing. Apparently the arrangements were composed by Jonny. If this is the end result I wouldn't mind if they do a full album with an orchestra involved. I think he started experimenting with string arrangements in How to dissappear completely and they're by far the best thing about it.

Lift: This song was boring in 1996, and is still boring now. Coldplay have based their entire career on this song.

LOL'd at this blunt description in an otherwise gushing graf about early htt

noah yorke sounds like his dad in the new song he released a few days ago

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JAgvYnv9J0

He really does.
It sounds like a demo though, even when the twinkly stuff comes in.
Still, not bad.

Now on Bandcamp.

Hi everyone –

Over the last 18 months or so, Thom and I have been working on a collection of songs with drummer Tom Skinner*, something we have latterly named The Smile.

The album is just about finished - Nigel Godrich has produced it, and we’re nearly at the track-listing stage, where there are 6227020800 possible song orders.

Until that’s decided - here's one song: it’s called ‘You Will Never Work In Television Again.’

Our regards to you and yours,

From

Jonny

* he plays with Sons of Kemet - look them up - delightful. ***

^ thanks, I forgot to add the explanation

It’s the track I enjoyed the least from the Glastonbury set, I still don’t like it that much. waiting on the rest of the album hopefully soon, the rest of the set had some promising moments.

Didn't hear the Glastonbury set, I'm pleasantly surprised by this. I didn't expect anything this raw & rockin'

Apparently, a relative is annoyed with me for buying myself the Kid A Mnesia art book. "Who buys themselves that kind of book?" they asked. They had wanted to buy it for me, for Xmas.

It rules

This might be the first time I laugh at a meme on the radiohead subreddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/radiohead/comments/rwwoac/you_will_never_work_in_television_again/

According to the subreddit it’s 13 tracks long and this is the tracklist (order not yet confirmed):

porous
the same
free in the knowledge
speech bubbles
opposites
skating on the surface
panavision
thin thing
you will never work in television again
blue eyed fox
the smoke
just eyes and mouth
we don't know what tomorrow bring

Getting hyped for this.

"porous" is better known as "open the floodgates", a song thom was playing back in 2009

The radiohead effect: after listening to this song three times today I’ve done a 180 degree turn and now I really like it.

omg I have that too

Re the meme above, yes I did wonder about that..

this one's extremely eh

yeah, total momentum killer after the killer first single.

this sounds like a lot of early solo thom yorke songs i forgot

Lol I’m the opposite I like this one way better than the first one. It’s got some afrobeat groove going on that I’m a fool for. Also love those horns.

I’m assuming a full album release this weekend?

the groove could be good but they don't really do anything with it, feels like a sketch that they didn't have enough people in the band to fill out. just meandering and forgettable as is

Co-sign Moka

Sounds maybe like he heard Sault?

I'm liking it, but then I like Stereolab and it sounds like a 'lab outtake

Iirc correctly Fela Kuti has been an influence since Kid A.

Sault does it way better, and they both seem heavily influenced by Kuti and Can and I’m not complaining.

Well, I like it and think it is good

I like it, too (much more than the "punk" of the first single). Wasn't saying Yorke heard Sault as an insult.

Watching the stream for the second show and whoa. There’s some amazing songs there. Particularly loving “open the floodgates” so far.

This is by far the best Radiohead side project so far. I don’t see how several of these couldn’t have made it for an actual Radiohead album.
