Druqks wasn't relevant? There's a little British band who were bigging up his style quite a bit when it came out.

Kid A came out almost ten years ago now BTW.

Hmm, I remember buying it, then took it back to the shop
Me: "It's skipping"
Shop: "It's supposed to sound like that"
Me: "Gimme another one"
Shop: "OK"

Second one was better.

Same thing happened to me with Amnesiac. Only mine I think was really skipping.

(Mine was, also)

New band press photo. Sort of confirms suspicions this will either be their prog album or maybe something that will sound like Neil Young.

Going for the Mumford & Sons demographic is nagl for Radiohead.

*insert inevitable Under the Greenwood Tree pun here*

"Well, Yankee, looks like maybe you done gone strayed into the wrong wood. Wouldn't you say so, boys?"

Kid A came out almost ten years ago now BTW.

OVER ten years ago.

came out on my 20th birthday iirc.

xpost You're right, I was thinking aobut Amnesiac. Ulp! Kid A came out on my 20th birthday as well!

That promo pic just reminds me of a different album that was announced one week before it's release:

Considering it's a newspaper sort of thing I wouldn't be surprised if song titles read like onion headlines, eg:

1. Fat Kid Successfully Avoids Ridicule by Swimming with Shirt On
2. 6 Year Old Stares Down Bottomless Abyss of Formal Schooling
3. U.S. Launches AIDS-Awareness Campaign In Botswana: ‘You All Have AIDS,’ Says U.S.

no, you do one.

I just panned most of the thread, but did anyone say what exactly the "newspaper" album thing is supposed to be/mean?

Based on the photo upthread, I'd say they (like every British band of the 60s, and maybe Radiohead are just catching on) want to be the Band. I just imagined what Yorke would sound like trying to sing "Up On Cripple Creek." Didn't turn out so well.

god help me but i am anticipating this. i haven't ever actively disliked a radiohead album

never heard pablo honey then?

I don't think it's going to be a cover based on a "newspaper" like the pics up thread. On the website it says, *world's first* newspaper album. I'm guessing that with the info provided on the website, that it will be a kind of create your own album cover.

purpose-built record sleeve

What is a purpose-built sleeve? Just a basic cardboard record sleeve with nothing on it?

Many large sheets of artwork, 625 tiny pieces of artwork and a full-colour piece of oxo-degradeable plastic to hold it all together.

Maybe all these art pieces are to go on the purpose-built sleeve as you see fit. Meaning, YOU are the artist for the cover. I mean, 625 pieces of artwork are a lot of pieces to mess with.

haw. yeah, i've never actually gotten into it? not like "nope, not for me" but never really took the time. i started w/ok computer and never felt compelled to go backwards

bends is dope, kid

my iron lung is a jam for the ages

talking of which, i personally want 8 talk show hosts.

whoops forgot about the bends---i love it!

Radiohead is still my favorite band so I'm stoked for this. I wonder at what time will we be able to download this on Saturday?

are there any songs to listen to yet or

Also, are we certain this is giong to be eight tracks? (Sorry if source was given upthread - I just skipped through this thread)

actually just dug out my HS 'driving to school' cd wallet and imported the bends. a hoy hoy 2 u, a hoy hoy

^ I use to use those CD wallets back in the day. Made all of my CDs unplayable after awhile iirc.

With the In Rainbows release they sent out the download e-mails in waves, I think I got mine at like 5 in the morning.

there were like weekly tragedies in high school where someone-or-other's CD wallet would get stolen. it happened so often i always stayed away from them.

this thread has been living hell but i'm heavily anticipating this.

xxpost. Just checked my gmail and it looks like I got mine at 2am Eastern time last time.

American Pop Culture is sickening. One of the greatest bands ever, Radiohead, will release a new album Saturday and it wont get 1/100th the fanfare a new Justin Bieber single would.

lol this was definitely a thing. mine was actually a CD lozenge. like literally an ovaloid (z) disc (x,y) that accordioned into storage. i bought two of them.

once i figured out that discmans (men?) were allowed in certain school situations (bus, should you be bussing; study hall; between class; lunch if w/e), i just brought the thing with me
