Well it took 15 hours to fly to LA so I'm thinking around 3ish Saturday afternoon (arvo). But who knows.

Based on the picture, I'm looking forward to 8 tracks of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang -esque tunes.

Didn't the Raconteurs do some kind of old-timey shot with their last album cover?

 

[iron yuppie]

They did indeed.

 

[CrashedCarDriver]

They did indeed.

Yeh but its not their album cover, so it doesnt really matter

 

[u2popmofo]

Aside from the hats, Radiohead appear to be wearing completely normal modern clothing.

By the way, does anyone actually ever feel inclined to go back and listen to those Raconteurs albums? I'm shocked at how lousy I find them whenever I come across one or more of their tracks. Used to really be into it, too.

 

[PhilsFan]

I don't think anyone has ever recommended them to me even once.

 

[u2popmofo]

I didn't even like their singles enough to ever buy one of their albums.

The Raconteurs are definitely the weakest of Jack's three (now two) projects, although there are some strong tunes in there.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

There are some good songs sprinkled in their two albums. I prefer the second album to the first.

That second album is bookended by what are probably my two favorite songs by them: the title track, which rocks, and "Carolina Drama," which is a really cool narrative song by Jack. Something that probably wouldn't be too out of place on one of the later Stripes albums.

I never really connected with the debut at all.

This.

Also, I am getting more and more excited (and antsy) for Friday/Saturday to come. It comes at a perfect time, too. Football is over, spring training has only just started, so I have the entire weekend (plus Monday, since it's a holiday here) to obsess over every detail of this album.

 

[Imperor]

"Carolina Drama" and especially "Blue Veins" are the only songs I'm taking away from those albums that I really like in hindsight. As the Yup Man said, the Dead Weather completely blew the previous project out of the water. I still get down on some DW. Often.

Anyway, Radiohead. Go for it.

Which reminds me, the next Kills record will be released on April 4, and I'm looking forward to hearing that one, as well.

Someone on triple j's facebook page today named Pulk/Pull as his or her favorite Radiohead song (King of Limbs art was their dp).

Has this been posted? Apparently, this is the tree in Savernake Forest nicknamed "The King of Limbs," and the possible inspiration for the album title:

Yeah, they're out in droves already.

Eww, Pull/Pulk, but then again I dislike everything on Amnesiac not named Pyramid Song and You and Whose Army.

 

[nielsgov]

Pull/Pulk is one of the few Radiohead songs I really dislike.

 

[lazarus]

"Blue Veins"

Wow, that doesn't even need to get 'Cockified.

Is that on the same album as Sweaty As She Blows?

Fuck yeah.

I liked Raconteurs. The first time I saw them was the loudest concert I've been to after The Who. It actually hurt.

That looks like the "There There" video.

Raise your hand if, since the announcement was made, you haven't gone more than a couple of hours without thinking about this album.
