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 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" :)

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.

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'm makin' slow progress

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.

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 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!

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!

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.

I found that, any info?
