That sounds great, they should get him to do a Residentadvisor podcast.

Heard "Lotus Flower" on the radio the other day, and it suddenly struck me as vaguely similar to PJ Harvey's "The Mess We're In." Which of course features Yorke.

Yech, having just read the article itself I'm revolted. (Not by Yorke but by the author, that's some terrible writing.)
cosign w/ Ned here
No one had a clue what to expect from the enigmatic frontman.
i havent seen a full setlist or anything for yorke's gig but uhhh anyone who's ever glanced at the Dead Air Space office charts would know *exactly* what to expect i'd imagine?

like, in what world would a Thom Yorke dj set *NOT* include burial, jaylib, fela, modeselektor, etc. etc.?
― Damn this thread seems so....different without ilxor (ilxor), Thursday, 10 March 2011 17:39 (thirteen years ago) link
Actually what Lotus Flower really reminds me of is one of Apparat's vocal tracks, both the beats and the falsetto. And there's clearly some feedback loop of influence given that Thom's repped for Moderat in the past, and Apparat included Harrowdown Hill on his recent DJ Kicks.

Yeah there's not much doubt in my head that Apparat could make a better Thom Yorke electronic record than Yorke himself can, but that's beside the point.

this is the first Radiohead album I have ever listened to in its entirety.
maybe because it's so short lol

I finally heard it! It's okay, more like a collection of b-sides though, not in an awful way.

this album is actually good, the problem is that you expect so much more. favorite, so far, is "Little By Little."
what i'm hoping now is, if they want to go in this direction, then release one of these things once a year. have 10 mini-albums for the next ten years.
will In Rainbows be the last classic album from Radiohead?

just released 24big FLAC for all the people who spent £10 on it as .wav/.mp3 and now want to spent another £10 on a slightly better format....
Can't see that pissing off any fans out there.....

Vinyl has made Give Up the Ghost semi-listenable.

'Give Up the Ghost' is still one of my favorites in here... has the same sort of 'pastoral'(?) feel of '4 minute warning'.

Actually could have fitted pretty good in KoL instead of being reduced to b-side material.
― Moka, Wednesday, 6 April 2011 15:13 (thirteen years ago) link
just read "KoL" as "Kings of Leon" -- as in, Radiohead wrote a song that could've fitted in Kings of Leon's arsenal instead of being reduced to a Radiohead b-side.

We could say that about 'Bangers and Mash' actually.

Kings of Leon would never have written Bangers & Mash (terrible as that song is).

i think i like these record store day tracks better than anything on the record.
― adult music person (Jordan), Saturday, 16 April 2011 17:38 (thirteen years ago) link
'the butcher' plays some rhythm games similar to 'little by little' but i think it works a lot better here...neither the kick nor the bass hit on the downbeat, so when the main beat finally drops in the middle it feels like everything flips around/snaps into place (but in a much more satisfying way than 'lxl').
― adult music person (Jordan), Saturday, 16 April 2011 17:41 (thirteen years ago) link
The Butcher should have been on the album.
― Melissa W, Saturday, 16 April 2011 20:21 (thirteen years ago) link
hmm, I think Supercollider (7:02) must be the longest Radiohead song? paging LJ
