"These Are My Twisted Words" is very much in the 'itchy twiggy loops' style of TKOL

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)
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.

i was thinking a more down-home approach (with some twists and surprises, naturally) would be a logical step now.

They should do a Back to Our Roots "rock" record.

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)

the trick is to fool yourself, too! i mean, to me, that happened
― 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

(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.😄

Anything from “the smile” released yet ?(Don’t kid yourselves, it’s a terrible name)

As someone who loves 'Harry Patch (In Memory Of)' and their unused theme for 'Spectre' endorse this 100%.

So, everything's now on Bandcamp, pretty much. Or at least a lot of it.
https://radiohead.bandcamp.com/music
No singles/B-sides from the first two albums but the expanded OK Computer is up as well as the forthcoming Kid A/Amnesiac reissue with the bonus tracks (but not all the B-sides), plus the King of Limbs remix album and the second disc of In Rainbows.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 21 October 2021 15:19 (two years ago) link
I totally forgot about that second disc to In Rainbows. It's supposed to be a pretty nice EP, alternating between instrumentals and what are essentially outtakes, correct?
― birdistheword, Thursday, 21 October 2021 17:54 (two years ago) link
Personally I only find “4 minute warning” to be the highlight of that collection. Mk1 and mk2 are pretty much jokes, so it’s only 6 tracks.

I do like it better than Bodysnatchers but people keep telling me I’m wrong about that one. The only part I love about Bodysnatchers is the bridge.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 21 October 2021 19:40 (two years ago) link
who are these "people"
bodysnatchers is fine, but the riff is p basic
― class project pat (m bison), Thursday, 21 October 2021 23:48 (two years ago) link
The riff near the end reminds me of "Oh, Pretty Woman"

"bodysnatchers" is great
best of the in rainbows outtakes is "go slowly", i would have put that on the album. the rest were left off for a reason
― ufo, Friday, 22 October 2021 00:38 (two years ago) link
iirc they said "bodysnatchers" was inspired by wolfmother which is a pretty funny reference point to have had
― ufo, Friday, 22 October 2021 00:43 (two years ago) link
“Go Slowly” is iirc inspired by Can’s “The Thief” and it was kind of an alternate experiment for “There There”.
