So some music dude picked a couple of Radiohead tunes to be done by some of an orchestra I think he chose wisely in selecting Everything In Its Right Place and Jigsaw Falling Into Place. In that I like those two songs and it would have been terrible if he chose Pop is Dead and Treefingers or some other unlikely duo Crazy Thom and his songs about things in places!!

Oh god, I can't stop listening to Staircase. It has become my favourite Radiohead tune, it's just perfect from start to finish.

I'm going to the Miami show on Monday, the first stop on the tour, and I'm wondering if you guys have any predictions for the set list. I'm not a big fan of TKoL, so I'm glad it's at least a rather short album at only 8 songs. Though I'm sure they'll probably play The Daily Mail/Staircase/Butcher/Supercollider. That's not a bad thing though, because those songs are all pretty much better than anything on the album proper. Aside from some obvious picks from In Rainbows, I hope they dig into their back catalog a little and play some Bends/OK Computer/HTTT era stuff. I'm not as big of a fan of their electronic music, so I'm really hoping they rock out a bit to contrast all the TKoL stuff. Also, they better loving play Jigsaw this time. It is the ONLY song from In Rainbows they didn't play last time, and it's probably my favorite Radiohead song ever.

I mean, listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...MzOQpe0I#t=346s The frustratedly truncated time signature, Jonny's zig-zag soloing, Thom's "Beavis in the toolshed" yelps - it really does sound like someone having a total spastic emergency.

I'm gonna be at the second show in Tampa! I'm stoked! Since the chances of ever hearing the staples that first got me into the band (Karma Police, Paranoid Android) seem to be nil, I want to at least hear some deep cuts. When I saw them in 2008 and they played The Tourist and The Bends it was such a pleasant surprise because I never expected to ever hear The Tourist live in 2008. Moreover, I want to hear some of the older rhythm based songs interpreted for the two drummers they have now. Myxomatosis, Where I End..., Idioteque, 15 Step etc... though those last two songs already have a lot of conflicting percussion going on between the drum machines and Phil. Adding another drummer could make those songs just sound like a mess. the Bunt fucked around with this message at Feb 24, 2012 around 20:10 |

I'd love to hear The Bends live. The buildup after the second "I wish that something would happen" is one of my (many, many, many) favorite moments in a Radiohead song.

They played Let Down at a Copenhagen show in 06 and I get why they don't play it much. It just doesn't translate live.

There is the old assertion that Jonny hates one of the songs on OK Computer which I think is between Electioneering or Let Down

I think it's a electioneering. He referred to it as "guitar noise".

Actually come to think of it in my vast bootleg collection that makes me feel like a big man, there is a gig from I think the Amnesiac tour era where he teases the first few guitar phrases for Let Down, and Thom says to him they can play it or something like that, but they don't. It must be Electioneering. Deservedly so!! I might get round to an OK Computer effortpost at some point as soon as I think of some crackpot theories about it to try to con people into believing. Like the old one that it's based on Nineteen Eighty Four, even to the extent that in the CD booklet when they list Radiohead personnel Ed's surname is the only one in all caps  (that's actually true though!)

All the live versions I've heard of Let Down sound really good. The only real issue is that the climax doesn't sound as big because you can't really replicate three Thoms singing at the same time live. I've heard them do it both with Thom only doing the high "You know where you are"s at the end and him not doing the high part and just doing the "bouncing back and one day" lower part at the end. It's probably my favorite Radiohead song though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_wGLZmwZ8o

So, I was curious to hear a few opinions since I missed quite a bit of the last thread before it closed, but after KoL was released. I love the album (bought the newspaper album), though at the time of its release there seemed to be a certain 'underwhelmed' response going around on these boards, and also quite a few people reading into symbolism in the last track 'Separator' as if it was a kind of announcement that there was a 'PART 2' of the album coming down the pike. Well, now that both the 'Supercollider/Butcher' & 'The Daily Mail/Staircase' EPs have released...what's the consensus here on how they fit with KoL as an album. I've personally just added them onto my KoL playlist (har!) and the cohesion is pretty drat good. I also went to the Radiohead website and the two EPs are listed under the heading of The King of Limbs along with the album proper (also remixes). Is this the 'PART 2' that the lunatics were predicting last year, is it some kind of experiment in stunting releases and moving away from album format, is it just RH doing whatever they feel like...? And how do goons feel about all this? Do any of you out there mash the three together as if they were a proper album? Did we get served? Is The King of Limbs one expansive, ongoing session experiment befitting an era of maleable MP3 albums?

I find Bloom to be underwhelming as an opener and probably their worst album track in a while, so my "King of Limbs plus" playlist is These Are My Twisted Words, then the album proper, then Supercollider/Butcher. I haven't bought Staircase/Daily Mail because as far as I can tell, they're just the live takes from 'From the Basement'

They were both recorded in the From The Basement sessions, and then edited a bit to improve the audio, take out any clatter and so on. So not live in the usual sense, in an arena with a roaring crowd, but just in a studio all at once.

Got a tick to the Friday show at Rod Laver. I opted for a seat because GA is probably going to be a bit hectic. (Hey, I'm getting old.) The first time I visited the site today it was sold out but I tried again a few minutes later and got something. The second tier seats have yet to come on sale, I've noticed. I wouldn't be surprised if they bung on third shows for Sydney and Melbourne, either. Ended up costing me $150 after the exchange rate, but worth it, I think, since they only come out every seven years.

I hate everything, I missed the tickets for the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on their website and now I have to wait for stupid GA tickets (that is unless my friend comes through with some tickets). Current plan: 3 computers all bombing the Tickettek website on Thursday morning. I also saw someone mention on Facebook that presales go online tomorrow. Any idea where I could get my hands on some of these?

I am mega excited about Radiohead touring Australia again. I saw them last time they were here and it was hands down the best gig I've ever been lucky enough to witness. Gonna be trying to get some pre-sale tickets tomorrow for the Sydney show. Last time they were here I had seated tickets, and while I would have preferred standing ones I was pretty glad after the show that I'd ended up sitting down. Being able to just gaze down over the stage and light show and just take everything in without having to worry about trying to see over other people's heads was really magical. I'm going to try and get seat tickets again but I'll be pretty stoked just to GET tickets.. I'm sure this will probably sell out in less than ten minutes.
