Radiohead: The King of Limbs, Continued

[u2popmofo]

Nice, the only time we'll probably ever hear many of these live.

 

[iron yuppie]

Yeah, I'm curious to hear how these songs will translate into a live setting. Thom's solo versions of Lotus Flower and Separator sounded great, though.

 

[BoMac]

July 1, eh? I can't wait!

 

[martha]

What's brilliant news, you fuckers? Some of us spend the day cooped up with 11-year-olds.

Thank you, you fucker.

BoMac is displaying Elfa-esque behavior.

Radiohead finally performing King of Limbs live, on TV - HitFix.com
This link says the broadcast will be 55 minutes long. TKOL followed by Supercollider/The Butcher, perhaps?

 

[cobl04]

Earnie, is Tom Waits gonna play ACL?

Let me google that for you

oh my god!!! that's fucking hilarious! i've never seen that site before.

good news, anyway, but i've gotta side with lance in thinking that it won't be that good. i won't be happy until they tour here.

The article on THE FORK! talks about behind the scenes footage, so that could be what the extra time is devoted to.

 

[PhilsFan]

And the last From the Basement had older material, didn't it? I remember the In Rainbows one had Optimistic.

 

[iron yuppie]

It had The Gloaming and perhaps Myxomatosis as well.

 

[martha]

Somebody better record the damn thing so I can burn a copy. I'll be in Texas on that day, in the middle of fucking nowhere.

 

[nielsgov]

Great news. I'm curious how some of songs, like Bloom and Feral, will sound live but if you look at what Radiohead does with their songs live it's probably going to be good.

 

[djerdap]

This album works much better with The Butcher and Supercollider included. Bloom into Morning Mr.Magpie never worked for me, but when you put The Butcher between them, it works much, much better. It still doesn't prevent Magpie from being a shitty song, but nevertheless, it's an improvement. Separator and Supercollider make for a killer combination as well.

That's why I really hope those two tracks are also included in these new live sessions. And somehow I feel (or hope) that this album will be much better live.

I'll be in Nashvegas but for good reason.

Every time I think I'm going to cancel TV (because I basically hate it except for a couple of HBO shows, and because I hate Comcast so much it's bad for my health), something like this happens and I say "just one more month"...

 

[Danny Boy]

Is this going to be on BBC America? I don't think that channel is in my basic package and I hate to upgrade just to watch one friggin' show. If I knew for sure they were going to air U2's Glasto set I might go for it.

 

[Imperor]

Have any real people (read: Americans) received their newspaper album yet? I'm hoping mine gets here next week.

 

[u2popmofo]

I haven't.

Pitchfork: Flying Lotus to Remix Radiohead?

Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke and free-spirited Los Angeles bass music star Flying Lotus have something of a mutual appreciation society going. Yorke appeared on a track on FlyLo's Cosmogramma album, and he has showed up twice to DJ alongside FlyLo at L.A.'s Low End Theory club night. Flying Lotus remixed Radiohead's "Reckoner". And now the Radiohead fan site Radiohead at Ease points out that Flying Lotus said in an interview with the Colorado Springs Independent that he's toying around with a remix of "the new Radiohead record."

FlyLo said, "They wanted me to remix the new Radiohead record, and I've been trying to mess with that a little bit. But I haven't gotten to it yet." When asked how that remix might sound, FlyLo responded, "It's too early to say, man. I have no fucking clue. It's difficult to work with, because the pieces that they gave me, there's no real a cappella. It's like piano and voice at the same time... So I have to come up with some shit that's a little similar to the record, I guess, to an extent."

Radiohead at Ease speculates that FlyLo could be remixing The King of Limbs in its entirety, but that has not been confirmed.

I haven't. The official site says to check the "I haven't received my order yet" section after June 2nd if you still haven't gotten your order by then.

Pitchfork: Flying Lotus to Remix Radiohead?

Interesting...didn't a lot of people mention a FlyLo influence on the album in the first place? Could be very cool indeed.

 

[PhilsFan]

Bloom could easily have been on Cosmogramma and would have fit perfectly, if you ask me.

 

[iron yuppie]

Bloom could easily have been on Cosmogramma and would have fit perfectly, if you ask me.

Yes, definitely. Lotus Flower also owes something to Cosmogramma, which was undoubtedly an influence on KoL. I personally would love to hear a Flying Lotus remix of the album.

 

[u2popmofo]

I think these comparisons are all quite a bit of a stretch personally.

 

[PhilsFan]

I can't not hear Flying Lotus in Bloom. It's impossible. It's that repetitive buzz in the background and the bass line. They're so FlyLo.

 

[cobl04]

Bloom and Feral have got a bit of Cosmogramma about them. I'd love him to do a remix. I'd also love another Cosmogramma.

do the astral plane!

 

[No spoken words]

I couldn't give 2 shits or a fuck about a fully remixed album. I'd rather listen to something new or the album itself in its original form, since I really like it. Then again, remixes make little to no sense to me in the first place, with just a few exceptions.

 

[Imperor]

I couldn't give 2 shits or a fuck

I'm going to spend the next half hour trying to figure out why this pleases me so much.

 

[No spoken words]

Ha.

It's a very Bronx-ish phrase and it makes me sound like an even bigger asshole than I really am, which is quite the feat.

 

[PhilsFan]

There are many assholish things about you, but that is excellent.
