Nope I have the suspicion they will either broadcast some sort of announcement on the big screens at Hachiko square or even more probably (and better!) do a webcast like the ones they did for IR and Kid A.

Hachiko square has too much affluence... doesn't seem like an adequate place for shows. There's loads of screens in there tho so they might have rented some seconds to broadcast.

Okay so allegedly whatever's happening in Japan is in three hours.

The only thing that's stopping me preordering this (mp3) album is the chance of DRM.

Radiohead event in Shibuya cancelled due to safety concerns. Website broadcast planned. http://bit.ly/gR6DYR

" People bummed about the Radiohead non-event can enjoy a "special online thingummy" here at 18:59: http://thekingoflimbs.jp "

Radiohead don't believe in DRM, Autumn Almanac. And In Rainbows did not have DRM.

So apparently I wasn't that off on my prediction. They were set to broadcast 6 minutes of something in one of the screens on Shibuya but apparently it has been cancelled and instead they'll do some sort of webcast from the japanese website. Anyone interested I suppose will get to see something over here in an hour:https://thekingoflimbs.jp/index.php
― Moka, Friday, 18 February 2011 09:07 (thirteen years ago) link
Dissapointed about the Shibuya thing, the whole thing sounded like a brilliant marketing tactic. Maybe too good in fact... apparently they didn't expect such a crazed response from fans... even the japanese government got concerned.
― Moka, Friday, 18 February 2011 09:12 (thirteen years ago) link
what, that they might not have been able to see from where they would have been standing?

Apparently a video to Lotus Flower.

so this is not really their folk / prog record but their disco funk record it seems.

Great video, great tune, A+ dance moves
― La descente infernale (Le Bateau Ivre), Friday, 18 February 2011 10:07 (thirteen years ago) link
Well I loved the song but I don't think he's much of a dancer to support a whole video of it, still love it. Also jamiroquai has better hats.
― Moka, Friday, 18 February 2011 10:07 (thirteen years ago) link
I like the song and love the fact that he obviously couldn't give a flying fuck about looking like an idiot.
― nate woolls, Friday, 18 February 2011 10:07 (thirteen years ago) link
Doesn't sound too much like Radiohead tho... it's closer to Thom Yorke's solo stuff.
― Moka, Friday, 18 February 2011 10:08 (thirteen years ago) link
I'd welcome that sound on this album tbh
― La descente infernale (Le Bateau Ivre), Friday, 18 February 2011 10:09 (thirteen years ago) link
Of all the more recent live material, this is one of my least favorite songs. And I don't think they added much to it other than a kind of cliched Radiohead gloss.

Today would be good, means I can listen to it at lunchtime/on my way home rather than inflicting it on my Radiohead-hating gf tomorrow.
― Matt DC, Friday, 18 February 2011 10:44 (thirteen years ago) link
don't think it will be out anytime soon tho... probably in around 4 or 5 hours.
― Moka, Friday, 18 February 2011 10:46 (thirteen years ago) link
If it does come out today I won't be able to listen to it till tomorrow by which time this thread will have 3000 posts, the record will have been dissected to death and everyone'll be bored of it.

Anyone who ordered, check order tracking because the album is available for download right now.

Good lord, so it is. Cheers for the tip-off.

Guessing that traffic will be that heavy that downloads won't complete until Sunday anyhow.

QFT... Hopefully we'll be in time to catch the second backlash!

The opener is sounding very much like something off The Eraser.
― Inevitable stupid dubstep mix (chap), Friday, 18 February 2011 11:15 (thirteen years ago) link
Shuffly slightly out of synch sounding drums, no immediate catchiness.

It needs to sound like the album cover (or have a different cover) or I will be mad.
