I was wondering what the result was for this one.
Soon come, I guess..

I listened to Kid A on decent headphones for the first time in about a decade. That was interesting. There were all kinds of details I had either never heard or completely forgotten about.
Still prefer Screamadelica tho.
Winner goes on to face Technique. ;-)

Was it this thread that suggested I dig out the Apparat DJ Kicks? He seems to have such a high hitrate for picking out sparkly bobbins I will like. Or perhaps he just sparkles everything up. I wish I liked his albums as much as his collabs and DJ sets. I should dig out Walls again. But I listened to his last one and it just sounded entirely too much like U2 in places.
(I know everyone has been saying how much it sounds like Radiohead but it sounds like the bits of RH I don't like.)

I know this is wrong, but I voted for Screamadelica despite not having heard Kid A. But there are so few records I prefer to Screamadelica, what are the odds Kid A would be one of them?

I just don't feel that way about Radiohead...

C'mon Thommy! Don't fight it, feel it!
WOO! HEY!
Whoops, sorry, I voted for the other one. ;_;

(Shit, I always forget. That line's in the film, but it's not in the song, is it?)

It's that bit at about 3:25 where, after the "I'm gonna get deep down, deep down, woo, hey" spoken bit, and then there's this groovy bit of house piano and then suddenly THE BIGGEST MOST REVERBED OUT GUITAR CHORD IN THE WORLD COMES IN about twice as loud as anything else on the track, and everything else is silent but the bongos and the kick drum, and I have heard that a million times over the past 20 years and it still scares the shit out of me every time. Such a spine-tingling moment.

I used to think that 'just what is it you want to do" and all that was from that episode of Star Trek where the enterprise got 'invaded' by hippies.
like, "We're gonna have a pardee.." was Kirk being sarcastic and getting some bongos out.

Not Knowing the film, obv.
Still, when I hear that dude say "and that's what we're gonna do" etc, and the kid in the background gets all keen..
It always sounds like it's gonna end really badly!
I have no idea if that's what happens in the film or what.
― Mark G, Friday, 25 May 2012 23:09 (1 year ago) Permalink
That would be an understatement.
But, still, Nancy Sinatra's hair stays amazing through the whole thing.

Oh, is that where she's called "Mike"?
I just read about the 'influences' of 69 love songs, it mentions her on the "Papa was a rodeo" song page.

closer than i expected. Wrong, but I figured on a Kid A rout.

i voted Screamadelica but know deep down that Kid A is a better record. just have better memories for the former, fair results.
― Bee OK, Saturday, 26 May 2012 04:27 (1 year ago) Permalink
I did not expect it to be that close! Neither did I expect that winner!
I do actually think Screamadelica is the better record, but I think it's probably an age thing, that both Kid A and RH are more fresh in ppl's minds.
It's good to be surprised by a poll you thought was a lock-in though!
