DON'T LOVE OUR BAND OH WAIT WE ARE FOOLING ALL OF YOU

what's your point, djh? could you elaborate without linking somewhere else? have you got something to say?

not making a point, merely posting what appears at wallofice.com

The domain belongs to a fan who has nothing to do with the band.

you'd think they'd be happier about successfully wagging the blog dog

...the fan also wrote that message, as he still owns the domain and Radiohead haven't recently acquired hacking skills.

that was what i meant -- what was the point of the fan making the site other than to lead people to jump to the conclusion they're now scolding them for?

Quite like it. It reminds me of Dollars & Cents.

Jonny didn't even address the leak in his post announcing the release of the new single.

I have a hard time believing that someone on the band's team would waste their time making it so that when wallofice.com tried to redirect to the Waste store there'd be a dumb, pissy message there instead.

I keep reading it as 'Wall Office.'

it really doesn't, alex. we've just forgotten we're conversing in the parallel universe in which tuneless/amusical taylor swift is OMGAMZING and liking RH is unfashionable.

Glad to know you're so obsessed with me, Alfred.

What ILM really needs is more dick-swinging.

And more revelatory gorgeousness from Alfred, "Lord" Sotosyn.

Knives out.

Hmm is it just me or does the song sounds slightly similar to Portishead's "We Carry On"?

In its insistence, definitely. Doesn't have that same HUGE guitar line that defines the Portishead song though.

So apparently the EP is out. At least, I'm already reading reviews of it.

Eh?

That's about my reaction too. I'm trying to find out more info.

Where are these reviews? I can only find one (obviously fake) one. The whole thing is an internet storm in a teacup

Oh I wouldn't be surprised at all if this is just a couple of people I know trying to fuck with everyone. What fake song titles are you getting?

"Berglund Räikkönen (Afterthoughts On)" a tribute song to the first casualty in the Finnish Civil War at the Battle of Asplund

I mean come on

Here's the spoof review: http://www.popsense.com/2009/08/radiohead-wall-of-ice-ep-review-new-mp3.html

I like that they give away an mp3 though

Haha, nice. The random songtitles I'm seeing include "Wasting" and "Already Finished Upwards," which at least sound more appropriate.

Where are you seeing that?

And 'fucking with people' confirmation just received. IMM should do an album of these like we all did with the U2 album.

this twisted words song is a fucking jam

heard it on the radio this morning and i like it a lot. it reminds me of a smeared and smudged Tortoise and a bit of Joy Division, too.

Reminds me of a Neu! song, but then so did Bodysnatchers.

Or "Silence" by Portishead.

maybe they entered their krautrock phase. there are worse styles to go for.

cunga otm; I thought the same fucking thing

Didn't Radiohead already have a Krautrock phase?

Hmm. The only obviously krautrock-y song I can think of by RH is Cuttooth, and it sucks.

They've been influenced by krautrock since Kid A / Amnesiac.

In the same way as a wasp is "influenced" by a light bulb.

but there is hardly any track on those two that sounds like krautrock. for a start krautrock songs are usually jams, they go on and on without too much happening. on amnesiac there is a lot happening.

No. Not exactly.

amnesia is far too diverse for krautrock. each song is a little universe in itself. each song has its own groove. the only krautrock band which managed something a little similar is can.

amnesiac of course.

National Anthem anyone?

Here's the Neu! song that Bodysnatchers always reminded me of:
