Apparently rumours were true. They did make a song for the latest Bond film. This is so much better than the Sam Smith song. Way more interesting and despite the weird rhythm I somehow think it would have fared better in the charts. The Sam Smith only has one memorable hook, if they wanted to get Adele's level of success they should have went for someone else than these two.

Lana del Rey's 24 (suppossedly another rejected track) is also more fitting than the Sam Smith one. I prefer female singers on bond themes to be honest.

Nice ballad

New one is beautiful, hits it out of the park

The strings sound amazing. Apparently the arrangements were composed by Jonny. If this is the end result I wouldn't mind if they do a full album with an orchestra involved. I think he started experimenting with string arrangements in How to dissappear completely and they're by far the best thing about it.

Lift: This song was boring in 1996, and is still boring now. Coldplay have based their entire career on this song.

LOL'd at this blunt description in an otherwise gushing graf about early htt

noah yorke sounds like his dad in the new song he released a few days ago

He really does.
It sounds like a demo though, even when the twinkly stuff comes in.
Still, not bad.

Now on Bandcamp.

Hi everyone –

Over the last 18 months or so, Thom and I have been working on a collection of songs with drummer Tom Skinner*, something we have latterly named The Smile.

The album is just about finished - Nigel Godrich has produced it, and we’re nearly at the track-listing stage, where there are 6227020800 possible song orders.

Until that’s decided - here's one song: it’s called ‘You Will Never Work In Television Again.’

Our regards to you and yours,

From

Jonny

* he plays with Sons of Kemet - look them up - delightful. ***

^ thanks, I forgot to add the explanation

It’s the track I enjoyed the least from the Glastonbury set, I still don’t like it that much. waiting on the rest of the album hopefully soon, the rest of the set had some promising moments.

Didn't hear the Glastonbury set, I'm pleasantly surprised by this. I didn't expect anything this raw & rockin'

Apparently, a relative is annoyed with me for buying myself the Kid A Mnesia art book. "Who buys themselves that kind of book?" they asked. They had wanted to buy it for me, for Xmas.

It rules

This might be the first time I laugh at a meme on the radiohead subreddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/radiohead/comments/rwwoac/you_will_never_work_in_television_again/

According to the subreddit it’s 13 tracks long and this is the tracklist (order not yet confirmed):

porous
the same
free in the knowledge
speech bubbles
opposites
skating on the surface
panavision
thin thing
you will never work in television again
blue eyed fox
the smoke
just eyes and mouth
we don't know what tomorrow bring

Getting hyped for this.

"porous" is better known as "open the floodgates", a song thom was playing back in 2009

The radiohead effect: after listening to this song three times today I’ve done a 180 degree turn and now I really like it.

omg I have that too

Re the meme above, yes I did wonder about that..

this one's extremely eh

yeah, total momentum killer after the killer first single.

this sounds like a lot of early solo thom yorke songs i forgot

Lol I’m the opposite I like this one way better than the first one. It’s got some afrobeat groove going on that I’m a fool for. Also love those horns.

I’m assuming a full album release this weekend?

the groove could be good but they don't really do anything with it, feels like a sketch that they didn't have enough people in the band to fill out. just meandering and forgettable as is

Co-sign Moka

Sounds maybe like he heard Sault?

I'm liking it, but then I like Stereolab and it sounds like a 'lab outtake

Iirc correctly Fela Kuti has been an influence since Kid A.

Sault does it way better, and they both seem heavily influenced by Kuti and Can and I’m not complaining.

Well, I like it and think it is good

I like it, too (much more than the "punk" of the first single). Wasn't saying Yorke heard Sault as an insult.

Watching the stream for the second show and whoa. There’s some amazing songs there. Particularly loving “open the floodgates” so far.

This is by far the best Radiohead side project so far. I don’t see how several of these couldn’t have made it for an actual Radiohead album.

phil and ed and colin were sacked

Lol next song I think is “free in the knowledge” sounds like a distant cousin to “karma police”… has a very distinct OK Computer flavor to it.

I’m feeling bad for the sacked members, specially Ed. These are the sort of songs he’s been wanting Radiohead to play since Kid A.

don't feel bad for them. ed is part of the beatles touring band now, phil's working on sanding down every rough edge he ever had, and colin is focusing on lucrative bass solo for runway gigs

Hmm, that means one of them is a “masked singer” then.

These are the sort of songs he’s been wanting Radiohead to play since Kid A.

not at all? the mood here is largely an extension of the jammiest parts of the last two rh albums, not anywhere near three minute guitar pop songs.

not really feeling this material in general

i like "we don't know what tomorrow brings" and then "free in the knowledge", "open the floodgates" and "you will never work in television again" are alright.

The two songs I've heard so far are really lacklustre

the smile stuff is great

with ufo and dog latin here tbh

literally not surprised by which board members feel this doesn't do enough

in the spirit of reciprocation, i am not surprised by those who do ;)

save us fooorks

I don’t know if I’d consider OK Computer an album of three minute guitar pop songs.

For starters most of the songs in OKC are over 4 minutes.
