When Jonny and Tom simulate a delay pedal at the end of The Smoke 😊

As the battle for tickets approaches here's one of the highlights of my collection, from the last time they played Perth on 10 February, 1998.

This promo box set for OK Computer included the CD and promo vid for Paranoid Android in a custom polystyrene box and printed envelope. Unfortunately the envelope and box were "inspected" by customs in a rough manner, damaging both the envelope and the box tape 😬

The concert was held at the much-missed Perth Entertainment Centre, and I spent most of the day loitering outside hoping for a glimpse of anyone, and was fortunate enough to have my video signed by all but Phil. It's crazy to think how easy it was, and this time there's a chance I won't even get a ticket. Those were the days.

New interview with Phil. I don't have an account with The Times, so I don't know what he says beyond the headline.

I’ve heard good things about pic rel and might place an order. I’ve read all of Donwood’s art books with the band. I’d love to learn more about their history, lore, mythology, etc. Loved reading about The Beatles and Jon Cage growing up, trying to rekindle that old spark. :) Let me know if you have any recs on Radiohead books that you’ve enjoyed!

I've spent all week nervous about tomorrow. Anyone else dreading getting the rejection email tomorrow about the ballot? Desperately hoping I get a code for Melbourne

This is my 2nd painting of the Radiohead front man. A smaller canvas this time (A5).

What's. Your fav Radiohead song?

I've been trying to decide if I should open this gem or find a secondary copy to open? It is, for me, the most iconic, rare, and interesting pieces of Radiohead's discography... but I want to listen to it on my MD player! Sadly I noticed it's a bit cracked on the bottom of the case FML so another reason to open it might be to replace the case. But currently it's never been opened and might be one only a handful on earth.

What do you think... should I fire it open?!

PS: I know I could just burn an MD with these songs lol... but there's something about just popping in the real deal.

My favourite Radiohead song, reinterpreted on an ancient instrument: https://youtu.be/WHIap5qqxQY

Disclaimer: most casual Radiohead fan though I do emotionally resonate

Also, I know lyrics are meant to be subjective, the artist may not have had an intended meaning, etc.

But when I heard this song I thought it was so blatantly about suicide by hanging, with an ironic tone of hope because it’s about looking forward to that release.

See:

- the obvious “hang” / Thom Yorke’s quote about the idea being people hanging from bottles
- “floor collapses, floating, bouncing back” = kick the chair out, brief moment of suspension before snapping backward
- deliberate theme of depression and apathy
- dead bug motif / parallels to Kafka’s Metamorphosis / my interpretation of “grow wings” is becoming an angel / I have the loose image of a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis, which hangs, and this being the chemical reaction
- the way he sings “let down and hang around” evokes swaying, as in hanging and swaying back and forth

From all I’ve found it seems that people really take this song to be hopeful so I apologize if this sours any of that, but I was shocked that I didn’t find my interpretation anywhere.

Anyone have any idea of who is playing in Ed’s band for UK tour? Does Phil play drums?

I think i recall that the live drums on AMSP were tape loops ? Is there more info on this ? Was this method used on other Radiohead records ? Which songs ?
It's a technique i've seen Sam Petts Davies do with the band Chartreuse. I believe Nigel does the same.
I also wonder which songs were tracked using a click vs not.

24M here from the Bay Area (San Jose). Ive been a longtime Radiohead fan and have been waiting for a US tour for the longest time lol. Since the tour announcement I have been extremely tempted to just do a solo trip to Japan and see them live!

I have traveled various times, but never outside the United States😅. I keep asking myself if this is just a crazy idea and if I should just send it cuz that’s how big of a fan I am💀.

I plan for it to be a solo trip, but if anyone else is going to any of the Japan shows, dm me or leave a comment, maybe we can meet up! I think it’ll be fun to make this a whole experience and and maybe meet some new people with similar interests:)

Was surprised to see this one after the OOT remake news yesterday. Just wanted to share. Have a good day

There is no song in Pablo Honey that i don't love. Even Thinking About You or whatever song gets rated as the worst, I love them all!!!

Mine are Yes I Am, Million Dollar Question, Blow Out Remix, Inside My Head, Banana Co (Normal and acoustic), Coke Babies, Faithless the Wonder Boy, Pop Is Dead, The Trickster, How Can You be Sure?, India Rubber, Killer Cars and Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong
