Radiohead - In Rainbows

I think the Atease servers are overloaded with people going insane.

The song titles read like SNL parodies of Radiohead.

this is not my legal birth name. I am an artist. I passingly said I was selling cds for 1000 dollars as a joke. someone made a big thing about it, put up a false interview..and made it look real. I was never selling cd's for 1000.
they spread these lies all over the net and someone put an article in the San Fransico Weekly and another newspaper in Cleveland ..Sf Weekly is owned by News Times. They put a false newspaper article about my 1000 dollar cd..when I am selling my cd's for 20 dollars.

haha the sneakiness of doing it now at midnight on a sunday.

i have an old live recording of "nude" from the ok computer tour and it's one of my favorite radiohead songs

WEIRD FISHES/ARPEGGI

I'm very curious how this will turn out. Loved the minimal live version of "Arpeggi"

WEIRD FISHES

good going, radiohead.

Oh wow, a free download! (I am credit card-less, and they really don't need the money...)

I would eventually buy a real-life, NOT-40 pounds, one-format version in stores though. I wonder who will release it?

Fun. Hats off to them, this is clever. I ordered one just to be part of it all

Am I a tightarse for getting free downnload maybe/n?

NO.

I'll be buying the vinyl when it's priced sanely anyway, I don't see why I shouldn't take advantage of a free download when it's handed to me like this.

Waiting for the P4K news story any minute now . . .

me, too! ;)

ILX BEATS P4K TO PUNCH, VOTED BEST SITE EVER < / lies >

@Scott: Hahaha. Good one. :D

YESSSSSSSSSSS

By the way, it looks like the download only includes the songs from the first disc.

Being the sucker I am, I will pay for all the special edition nonsense so that I do not kick myself later.

i have blogged it i wins pfuckers

YAY P4K!

Hahahaha. That headline (and sub-headline )sums up the general response quite well, I think.

ONLY FIRST DISC FREE D/L==RADOIHEAD CAPITALIST SCUMFUXX

the first disc is the album, the second disc is bonus tracks, is the impression i get from the site

Yeah, I think you're right ciderpress.

ok

So, will the vinyl be just the first group of songs, the songs on CD1? Or will the vinyl have all the songs from CD1 and 2? On the website the photo of the vinyl looks like it's just the first group of songs.

umm, I'd say record no.1 = cd1 record no.2 = cd2

Yeah, with only 10 songs on the actual album I find it hard to believe they'd need two slabs of vinyl. Unless they're going really prog this time.

"Faust Arp" and "Jigsaw..." better not be wussy little segues...

So, I guess they're releasing this themselves. This is really, really cool, and has made my night.

Is it worth 80? Everything's too fucking cryptic....

"We've installed Sitemeter on our sleeves."

Hahahaha someone reads one too many blogs. :)

In 2001, maybe.

Fair enough.

this is pretty awesome. they sure did take their damn time, though. can't decide whether to take the $80 plunge - someone upthread said it - may as well take it so i'm not kicking myself later. i'd be bummmed though if it's not a great collection of songs.

wow. wow. wow.

i like the whole notion of a 10-day window. it's like the polar opposite of kanye/50, let alone detox/cuban link II...10 days is enough to get the word out to virtually everyone who cares, but not enough time to build up unrealistic expectations. and no leaks? radiohead are geniuses.

i admit i'm choosing the, uh, least expensive option. as i can't afford $81, i'll buy the proper lp or cd version once it's out.

Ouch - expensive - Good for them for working outside the established industry - geez I hope they worked hard and it ends up being a great listen - the concert boots with new songs sound great - so I'm all for it ...

I will now make a prediction:

After a flurry of observations regarding new elements never before heard, this will sound like a Radiohead record.

Genius idea.

so i can download this for a cent if i want?

Yep.

OMG this is so awesome I don't know what to say.

Also while forty pounds is way out of my budget, I now have something to say when someone asks what I want for my birthday. WOOT.

I almost wonder if the whole idea of the set is pre-Xmas gift.

i am a radiohead fan, & have visited the site, & i am looking forward to this album, but i do not understand what any of you are saying. can any of you explain what is going on to me as you might to a 12 year old brother in law (ie a 12 year old but one whom you had respect for or at least feared the potential consequences of upsetting or misleading).

Anyone posting anything serious on this thread is on the verge of being banned from the noise board, fyi.

Hey there sport! That stupid weird band I seem to like so much? They're releasing some new media files (that we used to call "albums" back in the day) in 10 days! And they didn't start hyping it 8 months ago, which is typically the case, in order for rockstars to swim in their pools made of gold. And We The Fans can decide how much we want to pay for those files, because it's the 21st century and Anarchy's en vogue. So I opted not to pay, because I know I'll be a sucker for the eventual release of said files pressed to disc and smothered in artwork. Now lets forget about this nonsense and get back to Brett Favre.

I really enjoyed the recent run of the Dissect podcast that goes through IR track by track. Not so much the lyrical analysis or the breathless ruminations on the human condition, but the musical analysis w/the isolated stems really did make me appreciate a ton of stuff that I either hadn't noticed before or had always wondered about.

A feature of Radiohead’s thing is “weak B-sections”, like so many of their songs begin with the best assemblage of sounds you’ve ever heard, and then suddenly change into something that is an ineffective pay-off— I consider this more of a feature than a bug

“Everything…” and “Weird Fishes” both have this going on

But then there are songs that are just payoff after payoff… “Paranoid Android” will prob always be their best song imo, despite the dated lyrics, just because of how ambitious its structure is and effortless its execution

But my favourite Radiohead is always krautrock Radiohead (my favourite mode of any band is their krautrock mode!)

man that's a fast version of weird fishes xxp

into it

i'd agree here, the, well... arpeggiated bits of this song are some of my favorite music ever but the last third feels slight. still cool sounds going on throughout of course

But my favourite Radiohead is always krautrock Radiohead (my favourite mode of any band is their krautrock mode!)

YES!

wish they'd done more like 'these are my twisted words'

Interesting, I do forget about most of the B/C sections and codas on this record, so it's a nice surprise when they hit and the strings/Ondes Martenot come in.

the bridge/b-section/whatever of "bodysnatchers" (has the light gone out for you/cuz the light's gone out for me/it's the 21st century/etc) makes the song

Weird Fishes in particular has a very cool harmony/melody decision that I should one day sit down and figure out, it’s subtle not-complicated but very effective. Great song

Pre-In Rainbows, but as an experiment I'm gonna go back to this today, haven't heard it in years:
https://bbemusic.bandcamp.com/album/exit-music-songs-with-radio-heads

(my favourite mode of any band is their krautrock mode!)

I’m just thinking in rainbows, but some of its B sections are the best to my taste. Jigsaw callings climax, body snatchers comedown and build, Reckoners separating on a blank shore (etc., really for every track except weird fishes and Nude) are all my favourite parts. Everything in its right place does not have a lacking part to it at all.

feel like this dropping 40 or so years later FOR FREE "pay what you want" so many people dancing in the streets where i was is the closest i'll come to experiencing sgt. pepper / lonely hearts club band getting released

i've long wanted a krautrock radiohead album

these days mind there's only one thing i want from radiohead, and it's not krautrock :(

Side A + Lotus Flower of King Of Limbs is enough Radiohead krautrock for me (I like it)

i have no complaints about the b & c sections of "weird fishes", they're both wonderful, especially the c section - that driving bass line! the disintegrating guitars! the background drones!

Give me separator or everything in its right place or lucky as their best

*leaping high ten*

Catching that hi-10 friend. Johnnys guitar coming in at “I fell open / I lay under” is chills every time. That Kraut drum beat, so good

Leaving this little fishy here

(Plus, the part on the "In The Basement" session version of "Weird Fishes" when Jonny briskly walks away from the keyboard station to set up his loop-delayed/chaotic gtr pattern for the last section of the song is so classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcEJyvv6_kc)

has anyone ever seen one of these

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHpPZElT1mQ

I think there’s a lot to be said for how Radiohead changed after ‘How To Disappear Completely’ video documentary - they turned the microscope into a telescope of where they wanted to go.

Call me a basic, but nothing will beat There There as their best track despite it being on a bit of a hodgypodgy album
