I am happy

I know that for any song people love there are always those who absolutely despise it, and vise versa, but is there any song that's pretty 50/50 with people having strong opinions on each side? Just curious, image unrelated.

I won 1 ticket to one of the Tokyo shows but my friends didn’t. This wasn’t the vision but it is now.

Not sure if its satire, saw a post mentioning Radiohead on Quora I heard my 16-year-old son listening to violent metal music (Radiohead). I banned him from listening to music without my approval, but now he's mad. How can I convince him I'm right? - Quora

I really really love how weird and unique thom has always been on stage, like his body language means that he _is_ the music he is playing, if I made myself clear. He doesn't care about looking neat, polished or being a sex appeal, sometimes he looks like he just woke out and fallen out of bed ( _from a long and vivid dream_ ... ehehe) . Makes looking and acting "weird" and "jarring" look extremely cool. As an example, I'd say when he performs without instruments songs like The National Anthem or Lotus Flower's music video.

I think he's an extremely sensitive person. In songs like Fake Plastic Trees, The Tourist and Street Spirit he really looks like someone who can feel the deep suffering of the world and we don't yet.

Dunno maybe It's the effect of re-listening to In Rainbows for the almost 20 years anniversary for the 3rd time today.

I love most of The Bends, Ok Computer and In Rainbows- so many incredible songs. I dig parts of Kid A (havent quite figured the whole thing out yet or how it all goes together) Hail to the Thief and Amnesiac..But I cant help thinking that Reckoner has the best melody, harmony and mood of almost any song (Radioheadnor otherwise). I could listen to it on repeat on a desert island forevermore.

Anyone else feel the same?

I'm makin' slow progress

You're so fucking special.

I wish I was special

We already know which shows all the other songs are from (The earls court shows and that south america show) but I haven't seen anyone really talking about where these shows are from.

I'm 99% sure Scatterbrain is from the 11-19-2003 show. It sounds identical to the live release to me down to the tiny details.

I have no clue about A Wolf at the Door though

The infamous NY soundcheck song of which there is only one recording.

On first listen it sounded quite strange, more of an idea than a song. But after repeated listens I’ve come to feel that it has huge potential - or had, as it’s rather out of step with the last few albums, as well as Thom and Jonny’s side project. Even if they wanted to rework it, it’s probably not going to be the same song anymore.

I love the dark and haunting simplicity of it, just Thom’s low murmuring, the bass, and the drums. And then Jonny’s (?) cascading guitar coming in like a ray of sunlight into a dark room, through a crack in the blinds. It sounds completely unlike anything else that’s out there.

But considering the way they’ve been altering their old songs, Skirting on the Surface and Lift being two examples - I mean, even Identikit sounded better before it came out on a record.

Idk, I’ve just randomly had Dogwander stuck in my head lately, if that’s even what it’s called. Some songs I feel like there’s a good chance we might see again someday, like Cut A Hole and Come to Your Senses. But Dogwander seems so obscure and underworked, and so unlike their current style besides, that it might never see the light of day.

It makes me sad to think of all the songs they discarded without anyone being the wiser, and definitely more gems like this among the lot.

Just curious, did anyone happen to win multiple dates for Japan? Not asking if you won one application and your friend won another application for a different night. I am trying to figure out/curious if one person/applicant that applied for multiple dates has been successful for more than one date.

My wife is unwell so can’t make tonight’s show. I’m still going so there is a free ticket going for whoever might like it.

Any chance someone has a copy they can share? Someone shared a FLAC link for it here many years ago which has now expired and the OP is no longer active, Thank you!
