Radiohead Discussion Thread Part II

[joyfulgirl]

I love The Gloaming, and I like We Suck just fine. I totally get why people don't like We Suck but I've never had a problem with it even though there is that part where Thom sounds like a dying animal. Radiohead rarely, if ever, actually annoy me.

By the way, for about a week now I've been listening (in my car) to nothing but the "From The Basement" songs. Man, they are awesome.

I really enjoyed Myxomatosis when I watched that.

 

[mikal]

why do i not know of this "From The Basement" and where can i find it?

 

[u2popmofo]

It was a special that was aired on music channels a little after In Rainbows came out I believe. A lot of the HD music channels still air it every few weeks.

 

[PhilsFan]

It's all up on that YouTube jaunt.

 

[mikal]

cool beans. i'll check it out.

edit. found the audio on WhatCD.

 

[Knuckle]

I downloaded "From the Basement" from iTunes. But you have to search "Radiohead" and then go to their "Videos" section. You have to download each video/song individually, but when you play it back on your iPod or iPhone, you get song and studio performance video. For a CD, I just made a playlist from the videos and burned it to CD (for the car). You won't regret it.

Myxomatosis live from the basement is epic, including weird arm movements of Thom Yorke.

 

[Imperor]

Was "Myxomatosis" the song Thom said something about Wagner after? Racist.

 

[u2popmofo]

Who knows. When he's not singing, he may as well be a teacher on Charlie Brown. I typically can't understand anything he says.

This is information I needed. Now If I can only 1. Find the time 2. Get my old comp to burn cds again.

 

[cobl04]

You're correct, except for the following opinion, which is wrong.

very used to this by now. but i stand by it.

I love watching him dance and fling his arms around. I also love Myxomatosis and Radiohead live from the Basement.

Yep, that's the one.

Thom Yorke Names New Band Atoms For Peace, Announces Tour


Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke announced today (Feb. 25) that his side project, now officially named Atoms for Peace, will play an eight-date U.S. tour leading up to its performance at the Coachella Music & Arts Festival. The band's trek will kick off at New York's Roseland Ballroom on April 5-6 and hit the Santa Barbara Bowl in California on April 17, the day before its headlining gig at the Indio, Calif. fest.

Previously billed as ????, Atoms for Peace -- named after a song on Yorke's 2006 solo album "The Eraser" -- consists of Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beck drummer Joey Waronker, producer Nigel Godrich, and Forro in the Dark percussionist Mauro Refosco. Yorke first unveiled the group last October at Los Angeles' Orpheum Theater.

In a Thursday morning post on Radiohead's Dead Air Space blog, Yorke wrote, "Ok so in April the other band.. that i got together to do the eraser and other stuff u know .. Mauro, Flea, Me, Joey and Nigel is going back out to do some shows in the US.. ending with playing with Coachella. we had too much fun to just leave it there..."

Of the new Atoms for Piece moniker, Yorke said, "Hope you like the name.. it seemed bleedin' obvious."

Here are Atoms for Peace's tour dates:

Apr. 5: New York, N.Y. (Roseland Ballroom)
Apr. 6: New York, N.Y. (Roseland Ballroom)
Apr. 8: Boston, Mass. (Citi Wang Theatre)

Already posted this in the Bat For Lashes thread, but here it is again for those of you who are bigots towards Pro-Lash Bats.

YouTube - Bat for lashes All I need Radiohead

 

[martha]

Fuck. I have an opera ticket for the same day as the Santa Barbara show.

Stupid culture.

 

[Pop Artist]

Ah, just when I square away all my U2 tix, another ticket rush appears... Have always had a love/hate relationship with w.a.s.t.e. - hate that you have to go on watch for tickets, love that it actually gets me tix... But, yay! East Coast love from Thom at last...

 

[If you shout...]

$47+ for a show at the shit-ass Aragon is absurd, but I'm sure I'll wind up going to one of those shows. Fucking robbery, though. Jesus. That's retarded.

 

[LemonMelon]

So I listened to OK Computer today, guys.

The Paranoid Android solo is still sex on fire.

 

[u2popmofo]

It's Thom Yorke, what did you expect, Shouter? That would be considered inexpensive for a Radiohead show, count your blessings.

 

[LemonMelon]

It's a fucking supergroup. The least bang you can possibly get for your buck. Honestly, $47 is decent to see Thom Yorke and Flea on the same stage. Acid good enough to conjure up that sort of surrealism would set you back further than that.

 

[martha]

It was an awesome show; the best I'd seen that year, possibly in years.

 

[FitzChivalry]

It was an awesome show; the best I'd seen that year, possibly in years.

Both and at you right now, M.

 

[If you shout...]

The last time I saw Radiohead away from Lollapalooza, it was $35 and it was a full-on, outdoor spectacle. Just saying. Also, I feel that I should be the one getting paid to watch Flea play, rather than paying to watch him play. I'm excited, make no mistake. I will gladly go. I just wish that the show was cheaper. Especially since, again, they should be paying us to go to shows at the Aragon. If there are ANY fees, I'm going to be outraged, since no physical tickets will even be printed.

 

[Imperor]

Hopefully Flea has toned down the, uh, Flea-isms.

 

[LemonMelon]

Also, I feel that I should be the one getting paid to watch Flea play, rather than paying to watch him play.

Flea stopped believing in anything after Frusciante left RHCP.

Where's the money, Shouter?

 

[martha]

Argh. I was seriously thinking of Chicago for my Spring Break, but then fully committed to Flagstaff. I would have been in Chicago on April 10 and 11. Argh.

 

[cobl04]

Also, I feel that I should be the one getting paid to watch Flea play, rather than paying to watch him play.

really?

why does he cop so much shit around here?

 

[Imperor]

Because he's in one of the absolute worst bands.
