More Radiohead Discussion

I've never liked The Darkness. Here's a metal-y cover they did of Street Spirit. It is shithouse, in my opinion, but others may like it.

I forgot about that. Guess I sorta forgot about them, though I admittedly still listen to "Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End)" many times each December. Great Christmas song and music video.

I have 2 tickets for Radiohead's shows in Melbourne Australia that I might need to offload (at cost price) due to other commitments. Is there a Radiohead forum anyone knows of that I can place an ad in?

(per above, looking to sell at cost price; do not want to make money out of this)

 

[cobl04]

Mate I have two mates desperate for tickets.

 

[AndrewCowley]

That was quick. I sent you a PM.

they must hate us Americans.. gahhh.. at least I am starting to come to that conclusion now..

 

[FitzChivalry]

It is shithouse, in my opinion . . ..

You are 100% correct. I heard this a few months ago; it's fucking awful.

Guh!

Andrew, you have changed two people’s lives. One person is one of my colleagues, who has been a fan since The Bends but has never seen them. A flamboyant gay man, he came running from one side of the office to mine to give me a huge hug and was beyond excited. The other, a friend from school, was gutted to miss out on tickets and says she “jumped up and down like a schoolgirl” upon hearing the news.

Thanks again.

Yep, that's about it.

I was listening to Kid A tonight.

Better than Stars n Stripes.

 

[martha]

I dunno. That one gets to me sometimes.

But it doesn't make me rock the fuck out in my car.

That whole album

I've got 13 hours in the car tomorrow. Think I'm gonna have to listen to Kid A at least once through now.

Guys, here's a brief story about me and Radiohead:

I love them.

-The End

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Cool story, bro.

Here's mine:

I can't stop listening to House of Cards. It's so pleasant. Like something they'd play in the waiting room of a mental hospital to keep everyone calm.

FIN

 

[martha]

Cool story, sis.

Here's mine:

That line in House of Cards, the one where he says "Put your keys in the bowl. Kiss your husband goodnight" gives me pause every single time. I don't want to do that. I like my husband and it freaks me out the tiniest bit to think about the implications of that line.

Shiveringly,

M

These are great stories and they should be adapted into songs in their own right and passed down by bards and minstrels so that the legend of Radiohead's legend stays legendary for all time.

The interpretation I have always heard of this song is that it is about swingers, and this line certainly seems to support that theory.

The video always makes me think that Thom is making a broader statement about the frailty of human existence, though. Quite possibly both, I suppose.

[HeartlandGirl]

During my House of Cards marathon yesterday, I was thinking the song is about infidelity. A woman is in a sham of a relationship (forget about your house of cards) that looks good on the outside but isn't, and she's being asked to leave that relationship for a new one (and I'll deal mine). Put your keys in the bowl is def. a swinger reference, though.

Looks like I need another HoC marathon to sort it out.

 

[cobl04]

Anyone seen the Louis Theroux episode where he meets a bunch of swingers? So fucking funny. Love that dude.

 

[joyfulgirl]

At Bonnaroo, Thom introduced HoC saying, "This is a love song of sorts, and it's about sex."

But before I ever heard him say that, I never really thought about the meaning much beyond table + sex.

 

[u2popmofo]

DB broke thread.

I must break him.

Woah, that video link is screwed up, isn't it.

My sister this morning has reintroduced the idea that I need to accompany her on her London business trip in October and stay in her free hotel room and see Radiohead.
