Radiohead Discussion Thread Part II

[phillyfan26]

Thom went to the climate summit thing. Cool! How'd it go, Thom?

well ... i am truly disgusted about the way things have ended here. if you read in tommorrows headlines that a deal was reached?? remember it was nothing like what was needed and was filed by a bored complicit press who needed to show something for two weeks of crap.. and that it reflected the wests inability to lead decisively.
that it will make alarm bells ring throughout the world.
we have no international agreement. this is all too too late.
i feel deeply traumatized by the whole experience. if you'd been there you would also have been.

Thom

... Oh.

 

[Imperor]

They're also going back into the studio next month. Cool!

 

[lazarus]

Is the environment ok??

 

[martha]

No.

But 'Head will tour on expensive jets and I'll drive my gas-guzzler miles to see them multiple times.

 

[cobl04]

still bloody fuming that they didn't come here because of concerns about this carbon footprint bullshit.

 

[Joey788]

Rolling Stone actually has some useful info for once. Radiohead to return to the studio in January.

[MissVelvetDress_75]

Hopefully I will see them on the next tour!

 

[liz9640]

I better get to see them on the next tour. I've seen all my favorite bands live, except them.

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

in the studio! great news!

Can't wait for the tour...


one of the best performances of the decade I am watching now, Their performance at Bonnaroo 2006.... ftw!

thom is the most animated I have ever seen him.. Think they were quite jazzed to be there.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

This is a good band.

 

[Ronnie269]

Can't wait to hear the new album, Although its gonna be tough to stand up next to In Rainbows, one of the greatest albums ever made IMO!!! I loved Harry Patch (In Memory Of) but wasn't a fan of These Are My Twisted Words at all, it was little like the bad side of Amnesiac for me, Ed said they are really excited about the music they are making and that the mood in the camp is great, hopefully they produce another gem, what a band!!!!! so consistent!!!!

 

[phillyfan26]

We feel way more empowered in terms of our art and what we're doing. We have been rehearsing for the last four weeks, for this new record. And we are in a very different place, a very new place. I don't know if this is relevant, but I was talking with [drummer] Philip [Selway] three days ago about this. We were saying, 'What's different?' And one of the things is we do things without fear. [...] The thing that is different about In Rainbows is that it was an album from the heart. It was a lot warmer. And from what I'm making out in the rehearsal room now, there are still elements of that. [...] I'm an eternal optimist, but I truly believe we can shift massively on this [next] record. That's the thing we all know, that we feel in our bellies as we're rehearsing-- we're on a big move here.

Ed sounds pleased.

[AndrewCowley]

They'd better come to Australia whenever they next tour. Seems crap to me that they haven't come here for so long. I'd love to see them live.

Hopefully in the studio this time they can come up with more than 10 songs! I liked In Rainbows a lot but felt it was too short. And yes I did pay for it.

 

[djerdap]

Less is more. I'm glad they trimmed out In Rainbows. Hail To the Thief's biggest sin was precisely the fact there were at least 4 tracks too many on it.

i can agree with that, even though i prefer HTTT over In Rainbows.

thanks for posting this. I am listening to the recording now.

He played some fantastic stuff. I need a setlist!

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I feel like I should be in a posh nightclub sipping on a expensive drink lounging by a pool.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Yeah, that's what I meant about feeling uncool. This music is way too cool for me but I love it. He plays this one song that he said he got obsessed with driving around LA late at night - let me know if you catch the artist/song info - I loved it. He also plays some great jazz later on.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

Will do. I am trying to write down the information.

[mikal]

i don't really follow Radiohead news, but is there any talk about what direction they're going for their next album? while i respect In Rainbows, i really hope it has a different feel to it.

Yeah, I just pulled it up on myspace.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I love the jazz he is playing.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Me, too! Loved it.

 

[u2popmofo]

That's cool he played Distortions, but saying you're playing dubstep and not playing a single Burial track is pretty weak.

 

[joyfulgirl]

You need to put that blanket in the dryer, mister.
