Thom, Johnny and MF Doom collaboration track:

Really hoping the full album rumor is in the works.

i heard that through once & thought it was terrible; idk if there is like an 'indie guys do hip hop' mindset in which they felt they should make like a loop that's v evidently a loop, rather than just being naturally musical & doing their own thing. doom unusually spiky + bad on it also.

agreed. he doesn't seem to work so well at a slower pace like that (dull) track. i like Doom and Radiohead, so obv was hoping for better.

I don't even understand why it's being called a collaboration when it's clearly just a sample from Jonny's older solo stuff.

jfc can't there just be one general radiohead thread, now that the 2000s are over
everyone is sleeping on the suspiria soundtrack

Haven't gotten around to it yet but the single was lovely.
― pomenitul, Friday, 2 November 2018 16:20 (five years ago) link
of the more song-oriented material, "unmade" is a gem
as for the rest, i don't expect it to resonate with everyone, but this is quietly some of the most experimental, patient, satisfying music in the entire radiohead catalog

Videos appear to be in 1080! Only looked at ‘Just’ so far though. Looks better than it did on YouTube.

now i'm imagining ed back in the 2000s when he was always trying to get radiohead to do the full-on back to the basics, return to The Bends sound album, and then a moment of weakness the other guys relent and Ed plays the demo for shangri-la

Thom & Jonny have formed a new band The Smile with Tom Skinner, who's the drummer in Sons of Kemet. Nigel's producing of course
― ufo, Saturday, 22 May 2021 12:30 (three years ago) link
That group photo is pretty hardcore, Thom looks 110 years old there.
― Maresn3st, Saturday, 22 May 2021 12:35 (three years ago) link
And yet Jonny looks about 19

just tuned in and they're playing right now. sounding very krauty which is promising. jonny's on bass
― ufo, Saturday, 22 May 2021 22:30 (three years ago) link
they apparently played unreleased radiohead song "skirting on the surface" that's been floating around for like 15 years now
― ufo, Saturday, 22 May 2021 22:31 (three years ago) link
several of the songs were really good. it's been announced that colin, phil, and ed have been sacked. colin because both thom and jonny can demonstrably cover it and their overall sound with just bass + guitar is really lovely and open, a relief of sorts from the pre-sacked radiohead. phil was sacked because this new guy is a much better drummer, has jazz-chops and can thus improvise, his feel and approach is much more appropriate for modern-day thom+jonny, and because he has hair. also because can he sing, too. ed was sacked because he's fucking macca now

Radio ... dead? Say it ain't so.
Is the bassist the only one that has no had his side project yet?

― intern at pelican brief consulting (Simon H.), Saturday, 22 May 2021 23:04 (three years ago) link
colin hasn't released any solo albums or anything but has played on a bunch of other things here and there, including solo work by thom, jonny & ed, and a gaz coombes album
― ufo, Saturday, 22 May 2021 23:05 (three years ago) link
they've been sacked

so what you are saying is the people responsible for saying they've been sacked have been sacked?
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 22 May 2021 23:27 (three years ago) link
‘They’ve been sacked’ is a classic Thom lyric iirc.
― pomenitul, Saturday, 22 May 2021 23:30 (three years ago) link
it was ed sleeping with paul that was the final catalyst for the sacking
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 22 May 2021 23:33 (three years ago) link
Ooh, I like this opening song of the set's 4+4+3 11/8 rhythm--the following one's cool too, with a unison-line main riff that I could imagine Theon Cross from Sons of Kemet playing as bassline-on-tuba
Also, someone obv needs to radio Ed
― Kangol In The Light (Craig D.), Saturday, 22 May 2021 23:35 (three years ago) link
the first song is "skirting on the surface", here's older versions of it

you can scroll down and use the progress bar to go back to the previously aired stuff if you want to catch up on it
― ufo, Saturday, 22 May 2021 23:44 (three years ago) link
there were some really good ones in the middle of the set, and also jonny played 16th notes for like 10 minutes across a couple different songs.
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 22 May 2021 23:54 (three years ago) link
some of this stuff is exactly the sort of direction i've wanted radiohead to go in for a while (the krauty groove-based stuff) & some of it is just kinda meandering but i'm very intrigued overall
funny to see jonny's signature huge strums applied to playing bass too lol
― ufo, Saturday, 22 May 2021 23:59 (three years ago) link
Yeah, really nice rhythmic delay by JG on both those tunes--caught a glimpse of a Moog Taurus or somesuch synth bass setup being stepped on by him at some point, too.
