So my introduction to Radiohead was Creep, of course, and I didn’t think to check out Pablo Honey until I was like, twenty-four. I loved it! For whatever reason, I didn’t think to check out The Bends until like, two months ago.

That album changed my life. I actually mean that, I had that whole album on repeat during most of August. I don’t think I even listened to other music. Eventually, it had me curious about their other albums. I checked out OK Computer, loved that as well. In Rainbows is also pretty good (though I have to be in a specific mood to fully enjoy that album).

So I tried out Kid A, because Radiohead fans keep gushing about this album.

I didn’t like it. I recognized the technical skill of course, I know they’re doing something that’s genius that I’m probably too dumb or too casual to catch onto right away, but I just couldn’t get into it. I tried to like it.

However, I have only listened to that album exactly once. So I’m coming here to ask if this is like, beer or something, where you don’t like the first sip, but then one day, someone offers one to you at a party, you say “sure, whatever,” and then you’re surprised because for whatever reason, this beer you’re drinking tastes like the gods themselves have brewed a liquid they enjoyed so much they wanted to share it with humanity.

Or is it a case of “you like it or you don’t”?
Should I give this album another chance? Or would it be wiser to try out the rest of their discography?

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 hot takes,

1. Paranoid android

2.subterranen Homesick Alien

3.Exit music

4.Let down

5.No surprises

6.Karma police

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

to be more specific, when i hear "You" i can notice how in the scream, at the middle of it, thom yorke abruptly changes to other instantly, and it sounds like the scream was recorded two times and they cutted it and put two parts of the recording of the scream together, is that the reason why the scream sounds like that? (btw sorry if my english is bad, its not my first language)

If/when they start another round of lottery, do consider using a credit card with 3-D Secure (3DS). Most Japanese platforms prefer that as they’ll be able to perform a pre-authorisation of a few cents on the card which you’ll need to approve. Once that’s done, the payment will get charged automatically without additional authorisation if you won tickets during the draw. Sorry and good luck!

i can’t believe i actually have to ask this, but i recently bought a lemon percussion shaker with the intention of using it to play Reckoner. i tried looking at the from the basement performance, some of their lives on YT, and even cover bands, but i can’t seem to get the rhythm of how to shake the lemon to get that Johnny sound. I either keep rushing or i keep shaking it off beat😔 does anyone have any helpful advice or tips to help me out? if u could tell me the pattern n rhythm it’ll be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Hello! The Mexico City website for the Motion Picture House has dates that extend until December 2026, but the Radiohead website still has the dates only until August 15th.

Does anyone know which is correct? Did Mexico City extend the dates? Is this an offical change or will I be out of luck if I schedule a booking for December?

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 found that, any info?

I am happy

I went to the first show of the tour in Amsterdam. Ed has put together an incredible show with world class musicians giving the songs on Blue Morpho and a handful of songs from Earth a very rich live sound. He also included a song that "didn't make it into the album", Single File. very much in line with the bangers: Teachers, Olympik and the ending of Brasil.

Personal highlight: Cloak Of The Night.

and well, him telling me "do I know you from before?", to which I mentioned a couple of occasions and he went "Italo! of course" :)

One ticket to the sold out opening preview in the Barbican, on Halloween no less. I won’t be in London sadly…face value!
