More Radiohead Discussion

[joyfulgirl]

We've had a lot of new regulars in there over the past year or two that have contributed great things (HeartlandGirl, Moonlit_Angel, Danny Boy, Iron Yuppie) without understanding the inside jokes at first but now I would really miss if they weren't posting.

So post, Fitz.

YES. Seriously, Fitz, we want you in there. It's called Random for a reason. You can just pop in and say something totally random and we'll love you for it.

Spoiler

GAF does that all the time.

Really the only joke you need to understand, fitz, is that u2popmofo doesn't take kindly to illegal downloaders, and seeks justice with his musket.

Spoiler

I actually don't even know the movie being referred to

I've been laughing at the u2popmofo musket jokes for how long and only now do I learn it's a movie reference?

Also, if you want to know the history of a particular inside joke, we'd love nothing more than to rehash it for you for 25 pages.

Yes Fitz we want you!

Well I think it's a movie reference..? Could be wrong?

[iron yuppie]

Now we're coming across as desperate.

Anyway, great new song. Vintage Thom rhythms and vocals on there.

Well, NSW came and went pretty fast.

 

[cobl04]

That Atoms for Peace tune is great. I should get The Eraser. Been hoping they'd release an album.

 

[corianderstem]

The only good thing to come out of the Twilight franchise was that Thom solo song Hearing Damage.

 

[joyfulgirl]

I know it's wrong but I loved the first one.

 

[corianderstem]

That is really, terribly wrong.

It's funny - I skimmed the book and it was, of course, horrible. The movie was bad, but I think had it not come from such a shitty book, I think it would have made a much better movie. Like, it was nowhere near the level of bad that the book was.

 

[cobl04]

I'll seriously take Default over half of TKoL.

 

[joyfulgirl]

That is really, terribly wrong.

I was feeling like a love-sick teenager at the time. And it was raining outside.

Really liking Default on my first listen.

It's not. I think he's getting the Tombstone avatar / love mixed up with the musket thing. I think that spawned from a random comment NSW made once about Utah (saying I still have to acquire my dinner with a musket, or something like that).

But yeah, Cobbz, if you haven't seen Tombstone before, you should. You will learn everything you need to know about America in 2 hours.

I'm liking this Default song quite a bit, despite not knowing or recognizing a single word of the lyrics after having heard it 4 times.

Well there you go folks, don't listen to me explain the jokes

Flea is so cool.

Flea is so cool.

Dude, Random. Oh wait. Never mind. I get it, lol.

 

[LemonMelon]

Well, NSW came and went pretty fast.

We need someone to fill the Star-of-David-shaped void.

No pressure, Fitz.

I didn't think it was necessary a Tombstone reference, so much as it fits nicely with the avatar.

The musket thing happened just because Utah is stuck in the past I think. Now NSW isn't around to correct me though.

 

[martha]

I can testify that Fitz is a great guy. Just don't ask him what time it is.

Inside joke

Inside joke

What the hell am I doing here
I don't belong here

 

[iron yuppie]

What the hell am I doing here
I don't belong here

Speaking of this song, have you ever seen the Beavis & Butthead take on it? It's rather comical.

 

[LemonMelon]

Why don't they play that cool part for the whole song?

 

[Danny Boy]

It seems Atoms For Peace released a 12" single last month. How did I not know this? You people are supposed to keep me informed.

I'm downloading it in FLAC from Boomkat as I type.

[Imperor]

Generally speaking, I don't fuck with remixes. The new single is getting a 12" next week though.

 

[bollox]

Uhhhh, cuz if there wasn't the part that sucked, then like, it wouldn't be as cool.

 

[FitzChivalry]

1. 'Hearing Damage' ;
2. That "New Moon" soundtrack album is FANTASTIC start to finish!!! (Well, maybe except for that Death Cab For Cutie track because I really dislike them.); and
3. "Twilight" series: as far as tweengirl fiction goes, it's the only tweengirl fiction I've ever read and I was, for the most part, entertained. At least enough so that I finished the series. (Although that last book draaaaaaaaaaged!)

 

[u2popmofo]

I've still only heard that song once because it's impossible to buy without buying the entire album.

Friggin' Twilight.

heheheheh you're smart, bollox.

Repeat after me: I...am...somebody. I am somebody.

 

[last unicorn]

Is there a separate thread for Thom Yorke/Atoms For Peace?

If there is, my apologies, but anyway: [new]: Atoms For Peace – Default | We All Want Someone To Shout For

I listened to it last night for the first time and think it's brilliant! I have it on repeat during work this morning and love it.

I'm seeing Radiohead in Berlin on 29 September. Really happy about it. For a while it looked as if I would miss out on them again because the show I had originally planned to see back in July was cancelled.
