who the gently caress knows what any given Radiohead song is actually about but Tinker Tailor is striking me as pretty prophetic right now

fascism and nationalism came calling and we said yeah, now it's time for the descent

I saw a live performance of The Amazing Sounds of Orgy where Thom explained the origins of the song and it's crazy that they were writing songs about the 07/08 financial crash so many years before it happened.

I do wonder if Trump and Brexit might get Thom writing angry stuff again. AMSP is so mellow, for the most part.

I dunno man, I wouldn't call AMSP "mellow" so much as the "gently caress it, I give up" album. I mean he's started playing Creep live again and ENJOYING it, obviously he stopped giving a poo poo at some point.

Yeah, this is it exactly. It's Resignation: The Album. Which is sad, but it seems even someone as passionate and weird as Thom Yorke can only take so much :smith:

I think they just split up, not really a dumping on either side. We also have no idea what the timeline of her cancer was.

Sounds to me like she needed a lift. Shoulda put her big boots on and stayed optimistic, not pulled the ripcord and stayed in limbo. Instead she has disappeared completely.

She should've sucked young blood to get healthier. Instead she gave up the ghost and let the bodysnatchers strip her nude and destroy her house of cards. She didn't even get a 4 minute warning.

1) it just sold out and 2) can't just go the one day they're playing and 3) if you do want to go to coachella just wait a week or 2 before the show and get the tickets for face.

if you are just going to see one specific band you like and expect them put on a good show, coachella is not the place for that

I don't know about Radiohead but instead of seeing Tycho live you could just watch some car ads really loudly and maybe have like a fan blowing your hair so that it's like you're outside

I saw comments elsewhere that the crowd at Coachella is generally terrible. Is that largely the reason?

Festivals are generally pretty terrible unless you're 20 and love eating drugs in huge crowds. They're fine if that's your thing.

Pretty much. I saw Radiohead at Bonnaroo during their last tour, and it was incredible, but I was also 23 and capable of laying waste to my body for three straight days and calling it "a good time". Now, nothing sounds worse than lying awake in a tent at 4 AM while 1000 yards away, assholes are working off their mushroom trips to Major Lazer.

I saw them at Lollapalooza and it was overall a frustrating experience largely due to the crowd. I'd love to see New Order, too, but if Coachella crowds are even worse than Lollapalooza then I don't imagine it would be worth it.

I went in like 2006 and the crowds were pretty bad then and Ive heard theyve gotten much worse

if there are a bunch of bands you like playing it can be a good time, especially if you are high the whole time, but if you are really only interested in one act its not remotely worth it

I saw Radiohead last year at ACL and I had a loving great time. Granted I got to the festival a bit late so I only saw 2 bands (Flying Lotus right before Radiohead on the same stage) and its also a smaller festival. I still had a great time.

My best festival experience was going to the gathering of the vibes a million years ago when it was literally a 10 minute drive from my house at the time. It was also before tickets became super tough to counterfeit so with a scanner and color printer I got to see tom tom club for free in a muddy field.

lollapalooza isn't even that bad compared to some of the other festivals since the city's noise ordinance means they have to stop at like 10 pm so you can leave and go sleep in a bed

I was there in 2008 (the second-most-recent time Radiohead was there) and had a blast but I also wasn't prepared at all and almost passed out due to dehydration

I enjoyed Flying Lotus remarking about all the white people who came out to see Radiohead and had no idea who he was.
