anything i post is a joke
as a longtime fan, that's the image, but if 3 cannonballs are flying we all want them to knock phil, ed, and colin, off the boat. the very last cannon would result in some sort of shipbeam falling over and thom and jonny fighting with swords at dawn. but there's no way it would be anyone other than them. it's true that "radiohead" as a sound is all 5 of them together. i love the way they sound all together. but still, the core of the band is those two, for the last 25+years

Forget it I just watched the first 15 mins and sons of kemet drummer is amazing. They need to ditch everyone and just make Radiohead be that guy.

^^
jonny and thom play so well together, with a drum machine. but every time they play with another drummer it's with other musicians. they get to play with clive, but phil is there. they get to play with joey waronker, but flea is there. when it's just thom and jonny + the sons of kemet guy, though: that's good. that's very good. that's a drummer who is comfortable with playing loosely and improvising - as are thom and jonny, and as are NOT the rest of the band imo

i immediately take that back
colin can handle it: but damn, they sound so nice and open as a 3-piece

Excluding the last two songs - particularly the “rock”’one I think it’s 7, sounded like a demo of a non-descript new wave band - the first 4/5 songs have great grooves

phil is walking along a quiet river path. life is like a river, in some ways, he thinks. mostly made of water. he absent-mindedly starts tapping out a familiar rhythm -- no, no. that time is over now

it was commissioned for a fashion show last year

oh actually from earlier this year
― ufo, Tuesday, 13 July 2021 03:11 (two years ago) link
I thought he was trolling when he played it on that fashion show. It used to be just a slowed down version of the acoustic version of Creep, but he added some synths around the 3 minute mark that almost redeem the “remix”.
Still think he’s trolling with this.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 13 July 2021 03:21 (two years ago) link
the synths aren't new to this release, it was like that in the fashion show too
i think they specifically asked for a creep remix as the show was called "creep very" and this is what he came up with
― ufo, Tuesday, 13 July 2021 03:24 (two years ago) link
Yeah you’re probably right. I didn’t really pay attention back then.

High time they released a new album

I'm not really sure where they can go after AMSP, and judging from snippets I've read recently neither are they yet.

― imago, Tuesday, 13 July 2021 10:17 (two years ago) link
actually, they should just go full prog ffs <<<vmic
i was thinking a more down-home approach (with some twists and surprises, naturally) would be a logical step now. They can't have run out of ideas, surely?
― Urbandn hope all ye who enter here (dog latin), Tuesday, 13 July 2021 10:47 (two years ago) link
i don't think they've even started work on a new one yet, but the smile album is probably on its way sometime soonish

my forbidden opinion is that In Rainbows led them up a creative cul-de-sac that they've been unable to emerge from. rewind to HTTT and relaunch from there, except more fun pls

what about long tunes that aren't proggy like paranoid android? 'these are my twisted words' was an interesting direction for them
― global tetrahedron, Tuesday, 13 July 2021 13:37 (two years ago) link
imago, how is In Rainbows a significant turn/dead end to HTTT? I mean, they're different albums but it's not like they're vastly different
― Urbandn hope all ye who enter here (dog latin), Tuesday, 13 July 2021 15:06 (two years ago) link
"These Are My Twisted Words" is very much in the 'itchy twiggy loops' style of TKOL

I don't know about creative dead end, but the two albums are about as different as Radiohead albums could be - one sprawling, disjointed, a little abrasive, the other focused, concise and dreamy.

Hmmm... The first two songs on In Rainbows would easily fit on HTTT whereas there are loads of dreamy tunes on HTTT that would fit on IR. I don't really hear them as particularly focused through-and-through. They are Radiohead albums with slightly different bents, sure, but I don't understand why IR could be considered a "cul-de-sac", especially since there have been several releases since then.

the smile is their way out.
the band, The Smile, which happened after phil was sacked, along with colin and ed.
it's sort of a joke, but also, that one set was very good and had lots of incredible ideas. that's their way forward. "they" = thom and jonny. they don't need ed there adding his tiddly-doos and his "ahhhhhs". colin is great but who needs bass. and phil, well. he's been sacked. they sounded incredible as a tight 3-piece. i could hear everything jonny was doing so clearly, every little thing. the smile. it's just as bad as "radiohead". it's great. the smile. that's what they're doing now. it's better.

Have been enjoying you so stubbornly sticking to your conspiratorial guns, KM (I'd actually be 100% on board with that posited turn of events, since I was really impressed by the Smile's Glasto video set and think Skinner is a pretty perfect foil for them)

― Z_TBD (Karl Malone), Tuesday, 13 July 2021 17:07 (two years ago) link
seriously though, i think they sound great that way, as a 3-piece. i've heard some thom/jonny duets before, of course, including the lovely ones with PT Anderson and a quiet drum machine. those always sounded like what they were - one-offs. with a real drummer (and a really good one, skinner), though, combined with new songs that fit that format? they were LIGHTNING
― Z_TBD (Karl Malone), Tuesday, 13 July 2021 17:09 (two years ago) link
(Also would have maybe preferred The Erase as a good bad band name for this new trio, perhaps a passably Spinal Tap stupid-funny thing for them to try and pull, like 'well, the r was just, like, eraaased, man', plus that way it'd fall a bit more closely in line with Atoms For Peace)

Am imagining a scenario where Phil Selway lurks ILX occasionally for Krautrock recs and, in a moment of curiosity, reads this thread and subsequently starts frantically Googling for news sources on his own sacking.😄
