Radiohead LP9 Anticipation, Fangirling and random Cheesecake Thread (Do not read if you hate Radiohead or us)

Oh, I clicked the link: JWhite says "yeah, Radiohead were in my studio, I wasn't there, thy used it for themselves"

So, any call that there's a Third Man single coming is way prem at best, way off most likely.

see, I quite like the whole 'record label' vibe and the secret vault packages and things.

If only.. the records were something I actually cared about!

http://thirdmanrecords.com/vault

See, back then I quite liked the WS, but I got off the bus at "Elephant"

Or did I get off the elephant at White bus?

umm..

Everything I have read about this supposed thing contradicts every other thing I have read. I believe nothing. I think I believe Pitchfork even less than I believe random crap posted on atease because Pitchfork seem perfectly happy to use rumours posted on atease as a primary source.

Anyway. If anyone wants me, I'll be off in the corner listening to Daedelus records and wibbling.

Revive if you have bellyshots.

it is all speculation, of course, but at bonnaroo thom did say "This song is for Jack White. We saw him yesterday. A big thank-you to him, but we can't tell you why. You'll find out." i'm not sure why he would say that, combined with recording at his studio (with or without jack white present), unless there's some sort of release coming.

He was thanking him for the blow jobs. Clearly.

(It makes as much sense as any other speculation.)

HAY WCC I HEARD U LIKE GRISLED SEA CAPTAINS

SO I DRESS UP AS ONE 4 U?

“It’s absolutely brilliant songwriting. I saw a black and white video of them rehearsing “Jigsaw Falling Into Place” and what struck me was not only that it was a beautiful song, but that the band are so committed. There’s no showbiz, just musicians communicating very directly. There’s no fudging that. In both those songs, the chord sequences are very interesting. These are beautiful tunes and I can’t improve on them, so I’ve written my own piece.”
— Steve Reich talking about Radiohead’s music.

He's a huge fan and is writing a piece based on some of their songs...

!!!!!
jesus

Yeah I read that y'day. Obv I love Steve Reich & he gets a permanent pass but that "no showbiz" comment made me kinda sad. And also has he ever actually seen Thom onstage and not just in their rehearsal room? That man loves the showbiz.

Also I felt v v stupid when I did not know the Orb sample in question and had to go listen/compare (then was all "wow")

I think I came to The Orb early enough that lots of their source material was new to me.

.. and over the years I'd hear some obscure track someplace and go 'Whoa! That's the Orb sample!!!"

apart from the "woof woof hello, I'm rags" bit as I'd literally seen the film the week before.

Like the idea that "showbiz" and deep musical communication are mutually exclusive is the kind of thing an old classical dude might come out with, but not really based in realities I've experienced. But I'm probably too much of a poptimist for his sensibilities.

seeing a band rehearsing music, you would be 'struck by the lack of showbiz airs' as that's not what they are practicing..

Yeah we all know Thom practices his moves, in the mirror, with a hairbrush and has done so since he was 12. Ditto Jonny's prehensile hair. But they don't let Reich and Penderecki see that, man!

They haven't really aged the muscles if his left eye in a way consistent with his actual face and ageing process.

Yes it is crepey that I notice this.

wow at yorke rocking the funky white boy look circa '88

http://img7.hostingpics.net/pics/900985Thom_Yorke_thom1988.jpg

Art students have looked approximately the same since 1888. Or 1588 if Van Dyke's portrait of Yorke is to be believed.

I just need to look at that photo, and think about Reich doing a rework of Jigsaw Falling Into Place and that actually has the potential to cheer me up quite a lot.

I'm going to put this here to make me laugh and cheer me up on Monday morning at work:

Q: If that sad day comes along when Radiohead splits up, what do you plan to do in your retirement ? - Lincolnbabe, Oxford

A: Age badly. Follow random pathways in the forest. Smoke a pipe. Become a hermit. Never shave again. Take ecstasy on weekends. Develop a Valium habit. Read the Bible. Go To Tibet. Become an MP. Change my name. Laugh at economists. Start skanking dancehall style. - Thom

So much <3 for that ridiculous man.

worried about the skankin'

THERE ARE NO WORDS.

HIS WAIST.

HIS HIPS.

HIS FLICKY LITTLE PONYTAIL.

I AM GOING TO DIE NOW.

Thom is doing this on purpose now...

OK, found the source. What the YouTube captures that the gif doesn't is the shagged-out orgasm expression on his face as he does it

::dies some more and is dead::

Just when I'm ready to surrender the last crumbs of my heteronormativity, he goes and does something like this:

http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7veszkcNl1rsvop4o1_r1_500.jpg

He is just torturing the fangirls at this point. There is no other excuse for this.

wtf is up with thom recently?

inspired by magic mike

Oh, Thomas. What you do to us.

When one night, there is this:

http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m80a33A3ua1rx2bquo3_250.gif

And then the next night there is that godawful ill-fitting tank-top thing which hurts mine eyes to look at it.

http://instagram.com/p/NqwesdzXdA/

He just seems to have such a strange relationship with his body. Or maybe I'm projecting like crazy. Or maybe it just freaks him out that one day he loses himself in the moment and strips off and then the next day there are 40,000 gifs of his nekkid chest all over tumblr. So he covers up the next day with something really ugly, it feels like he's doing it on purpose, even though he's probably totally oblivious and does not even notice what the fangirls do. But god damn. He is so beautiful and that lithe fucking gymnast's body of his and how he moves it brings joy to so many people. Oh, so many feelings and I hate myself for having all of them.

i just don't remember him doing that once from like 1993 up to In Rainbows(melissa can correct me if i'm wrong?). it's just kind of weird, like when some guy you know in middle school is suddenly a goth the next day

I think it's correlated with the increase in dancing and thus sweating, at least partially. When I first started seeing them he really only danced during Idioteque, and now he dances through pretty much every song where he's not holding a guitar. And at the shows where he's taken off his shirt it was incredibly hot. So blame global warming and dancing. Or thank global warming and dancing.

In the early days he used to do this kind of weird wriggling-like-a-puppy-in-a-bag dance thing if he wasn't holding a guitar. But nothing like the dancing he does now.

I think it's generally a good sign, that he's feeling comfortable enough to dance like that, onstage. Like, he used to talk about dancing, in blogs and stuff, but we never got to see him do it. And now we do. Thank you, global warming and dancing!

He been hanging with those no-gooders red hot chili peppers.

Ugh you just totally ruined my ladyboner forever. ;_;

Sweet jesus it gets worse...

http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m80f6tLO2s1r4rmb9o1_1280.jpg

seriously, he hangs out with flea, they have two stoic bald drummers, and he rips his shirt off all the time - who is he??

I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!!

Shit, I grabbed the URL from the wrong tumblr window. That is supposed to be Thom with his fingers in his ears, not my other husband.

Sorry this does not involve shirtlessness but some people might like to hear?

... is there something missing?

(I hope it's just a blurry photo. If he's actually had his backfeathers lasered off I will cry.)

OK, I'm done feeling guilty about it. When I see something like this, I'm in no doubt that he's doing it on purpose because he knows the effect of his serial abdomen exposure.

you know, I don't think it has been adequately noted or discussed that

THOM YORKE'S NEW WEBSITE IS PARTIALLY IN CORNISH.

If I were a scarier RH fan than I am, I would start to think he was doing this on purpose.

I have said that before, probably on this thread!

Feel better now. It's naught to do with me, fucker has a ~second home~ in Cornwall. So now I can hate him for being a bastard second home owner.
