Radiohead: Classic or Dud?

(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)

personally i would have gone with T+J Maxx

Now we're typin'

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.😄

*phil googles self, sees breaking news*

"bald british batería banned by bandmates"

"fuck."

Phil reads on, hoping against hope that it was the drummer from Portishead

...or Gaydaddiohead

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

full orchestral shit only imo

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

i dont wanna see these sad old bastards do anything but have bad hair in a performance hall while they revive endangered instruments and do more penderecki shit.

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.

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?

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.

bangers and mash goes hard

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.

who are these "people"

bodysnatchers is fine, but the riff is p basic

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

iirc they said "bodysnatchers" was inspired by wolfmother which is a pretty funny reference point to have had

“Go Slowly” is iirc inspired by Can’s “The Thief” and it was kind of an alternate experiment for “There There”.
