Neither of us ever left?
― Melissa W, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 11:19 (twelve years ago) link
Well, actually I left for quite some time. There have been stretches of up to a year or so that I've not been on here.
I think it might be more the revival of the "do not read if you hate me" meme. Which, frankly, was always a good meme. Like, if you know in advance that a thread is going to be full of a subject or a poster that one objects to, isn't it better to just provide a warning and say "if you don't like this, choose not to read it" rather than have a fight over it?
I love the melody on Cut A Hole, it's really classic Thom meandering, but I need to hear a properly recorded version to really catch the vibe, I think.
― White Chocolate Cheesecake, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 11:23 (twelve years ago) link
I think there have maybe been long periods where I only posted like once a month, so maybe it looked like I left. But no, I am just a constant lurker.
I like Cut a Hole a lot so far but listening to it is just cutting into my Identikit listening time.
― Melissa W, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 11:25 (twelve years ago) link
I have a feeling it's going to be like Butcher / Supercollider.
That several months later, I realised that Butcher was actually a pretty damn good song in its own right, but jeeez, why would I want to listen to that again when I had another 7 minutes of Supercollider I could be putting in mine ears?
― White Chocolate Cheesecake, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 11:29 (twelve years ago) link
Oh, I didn't like Supercollider at all. But I could listen to the "as it courses up my arms..." bit of The Butcher till the end of time and not get tired of it.

Fanboys are welcome if and only IF they are amenable to general abject fangirling and can handle the occasional outburst of squeeing glee about, like, Thom Yorke's haircut.

I don't really know what's wrong with me that I look at that and think "hot".
― Melissa W, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 15:20 (twelve years ago) link
There is nothing right with that whole look.
― Melissa W, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 15:21 (twelve years ago) link
I don't know, but it totally is. So RONG yet so right.
Like no one else could get away with that. If anyone else turned up dressed like that, I'd be like, you utter freak. But because it's ~Thom~ it somehow just seems like a sartorial experiment that just... *works*.
The only thing I don't like about it is the white t-shirt. He could have come up with a better shirt to go with that. But the red trousers, the waistcoat, the ponytail everything about it is just such Yorkeian *rightness* that it is so utterly him that it somehow pulls together. Despite being an appalling mess on anyone else.
it's not hott because it's a hott look. It's hott because Thom Yorke is just intrinsically hott.

It's only a matter of time before I see moody teenage boys wandering around town sporting ponytails and red trousers, because it's okay now that Thom Yorke does it. Some things should have been left dead in the '80s.

Whoa, Jonny's bit is played that superfast strumming (oh I have forgotten the name of the style, it's been so long since I played guitar) and not eBow? How does he still have wrists? That's like carpal tunnel in a box (that's what did my wrists in.)
― White Chocolate Cheesecake, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 18:28 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, I wonder about that. Maybe he'll take to wearing the arm brace again.
― Melissa W, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 18:30 (twelve years ago) link
I'm going to be upset if they don't play Meeting in the Aisle at any of the shows I'm going to.
I also did not notice that Jonny is wearing a shoegaze stripe shirt. Oh my goodness.
(Those are jeans and not jeggings, right? They're just a tad too... stretchy in the arse department. I can't cope.)
― White Chocolate Cheesecake, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 18:32 (twelve years ago) link
~Apparently~ (you would have read this in the same place I did) they've rehearsed 70 different songs. So the set list may not be the same twice?
I think they're jeans. Unless he got a new pair. This thread is now 20% trouser minutiae. x-post
― Melissa W, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 18:33 (twelve years ago) link
It may not be the same twice, but I'm hoping it's the old stand-by stuff that will change more frequently and that they'll try to keep the new songs and more obscure tracks featured more consistently.
― Melissa W, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 18:35 (twelve years ago) link
I know they're jeans, I've seen them before, but they're clearly stretch jeans that have been worn that bit too often and now they're all ~stretchy~ and I can't cope.
Trousers are important, come on! 20% trouser content is about right. I could start a whole derail in Judith Butlerian prose about his hairdo's signifiers, but I've got the other place for that now. tee hee hee.
― White Chocolate Cheesecake, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 18:40 (twelve years ago) link
Actually the screen cap for the "Meeting in the Aisle" video makes it look like Thom has chosen a very unfortunate Rattle and Hum era Bono look with the ponytail and vest.

How did they get 'Meeting in the Aisle' to sound so good with guitars when the original features synthetizers heavily? I didn't see any synths on that video.
(Fun fact: it was programmed entirely on synths by Henry Binns and Sam Hardaker (Zero 7))

The thing that I keep trying to forger, though he keeps ~reminding~ me, is that Mr Yorke was a MASSIVE U2/Bono stan and, well, has never really stopped. The waistcoat is probably a deliberate allusion.
― White Chocolate Cheesecake, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 19:15 (twelve years ago) link
But he likes to keep that a secret, so shhhhhhhhh. It's like Jonny and Pink Floyd. Ask directly and they will be like "U2/Pink Floyd who?"

When one night, there is this:

And then the next night there is that godawful ill-fitting tank-top thing which hurts mine eyes to look at it.
http://instagram.com/p/NqwesdzXdA/
He just seems to have such a strange relationship with his body. Or maybe I'm projecting like crazy. Or maybe it just freaks him out that one day he loses himself in the moment and strips off and then the next day there are 40,000 gifs of his nekkid chest all over tumblr. So he covers up the next day with something really ugly, it feels like he's doing it on purpose, even though he's probably totally oblivious and does not even notice what the fangirls do. But god damn. He is so beautiful and that lithe fucking gymnast's body of his and how he moves it brings joy to so many people. Oh, so many feelings and I hate myself for having all of them.

I think it's correlated with the increase in dancing and thus sweating, at least partially. When I first started seeing them he really only danced during Idioteque, and now he dances through pretty much every song where he's not holding a guitar. And at the shows where he's taken off his shirt it was incredibly hot. So blame global warming and dancing. Or thank global warming and dancing.
― Melissa W, Tuesday, 31 July 2012 17:25 (eleven years ago) link
In the early days he used to do this kind of weird wriggling-like-a-puppy-in-a-bag dance thing if he wasn't holding a guitar. But nothing like the dancing he does now.
I think it's generally a good sign, that he's feeling comfortable enough to dance like that, onstage. Like, he used to talk about dancing, in blogs and stuff, but we never got to see him do it. And now we do. Thank you, global warming and dancing!

OK, I'm done feeling guilty about it. When I see something like this, I'm in no doubt that he's doing it on purpose because he knows the effect of his serial abdomen exposure.
