Radiohead pays more attention to rhythm than most other rock bands I can think of today, the examples are countless and they definitely know their way around a groove (and for me, the odd-time stuff serves more of a purpose than ye olde prog-rock).

Buffalo 66 is hilarious.

[it's so cute when people defend Buffalo 66!]

Brian: I work with Tangerine Arts Group, who did Phantasia & Wyrd's Sybaritic Shadow Show last November. At least I think you reviewed that, yes?

jaymc: that was me all right.

I've only skimmed the article, but I thought he was saying that they are more about melody and harmony than rhythm?

Oddly enough, Myxomatosis has elements in common with some African folkloric music in that it basically feels like a triple meter and a duple meter at the same time (two speeds of duple time really, since it has that 2:3 polyrhythm going through it).

I've read that Radiohead worship Bitches Brew ...

― brian nemtusak (sanlazaro), Thursday, 3 July 2003 23:26 (twenty years ago) link

... for whatever that's worth.

I can see them appreciating it on a sound level. And a pretension level. I'd like them better if they worshipped In a Silent Way (ha) or better yet Jack Johnson, tho I consider the latter more of a McLaughlin record than a Miles record (which may be ignorant of the latter's arrangements).

They do worship In a Silent Way.

Aaargh! It's an anti-Oolong conspiracy!

hey, that one worked.

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Saturday, 5 July 2003 15:27 (twenty years ago) link

Wonder when they'll get around to worshipping 'You're Under Arrest' - oh, Sting beat them to it!

― dave q, Saturday, 5 July 2003 15:31 (twenty years ago) link

will the next hood album receive this much attention?

― keith (keithmcl), Saturday, 5 July 2003 15:41 (twenty years ago) link

Oh...I thought you meant the Dragonball Z character.

nope -- just as japanese, but not as entertaining as a rabbit with a pancake on his head.

in fact, if you do a GIS, you can find a lovely pic of him with a roll of toilet paper on his head.

this leads me to believe that the japanese are the greatest people on the planet, except for that whole "gang-rape as a popular fixture of hentai anime/porn" thing.
