Radiohead Discussion

[kjam1988]

I like PinkPop '96, Berlin 2000, and Rock Am Ring Festival Germany 2001.

[buzz05232000]

^ All of those are fantastic, I especially like Berlin 2000

[kjam1988]

I still can't believe how awesome Electioneering is at Pinkpop. I hate that song on OKC

Grab some of the sbd and fm shows. The Bridge School shows are pretty good too and also very different being that it is acoustic.

[LowEnd_Theory]

Thanks.

Downloading now.

[buzz05232000]

There are some good videos there too. And to get them you have to download both files and then extract them. You can't download part 1 and extract it before you download part 2.

[buzz05232000]

And I still need some coverart for both of the most recent webcasts, does anyone have any?

[kerplunk!]

True Love Waits is so incredibly sad. I hope it makes a studio album one day.

I loved Electioneering on OKC.

Same here. I need something to put into my CD shelves.

Hello....Jimmy. This year we released out new album, In Rainbows. Can you tell me........can you tell me.......can the panel tell me what was special about tha..T.

[thom hudson]

i'm sure it has been discussed in here before, but i didn't really feel like backreading...i'm curious what the people in here think of the theory that in rainbows was meant to compliment okc.

is this just silliness?

[bigeyefish22]

I read that and it seems flimsy. I'd like to listen to the suggested track-listing though...

i did that, and the transitions from song-to-song all seem smooth, but i think that's because that was what i wanted to hear.

[bigeyefish22]

I was actually thinking about the absence of smooth transitions from song-to-song in In Rainbows last night. Thats not a rip, the tone is ridiculously steady and smooth, song intros and outros just dont flow together. I like that about this album because it makes each song its own statement.

I think thats it too. Ive listened to this too, and many transitions seemed pretty smooth. Some were not at all though.

I dont think In Rainbows has anything to do with OK. With Rainbows, they do seem to be obsessed with the number 10, and also binary code. Also color schemes as heard in videotape (red, blue, green) and also the CMYK color scheme as seen on the outside of the CD case.

[tarheel997]

O from OKC = 0
I from In Rainbows= 1

that right there sticks out to me and gives that theory credibility

That's dumb. That equals 01. If Radiohead wanted to make some grand, elaborate numerical statement (which is preposterous in the first place), the 'I' would have come first.

It's more "Paul is dead" horseshit. And I think, like The Beatles, Radiohead might encourage that sort of stuff just to get a kick out of how stupid people can be.

i think there are many interesting points in the articles about it, and many interesting coincidences between the two albums--but that's about it. I doubt RH put all that time into making some puzzle that has no prize upon completion.

The people that wrote those articles and did the research were probably overanalzying the situation. I'm sure people could compare In Rainbows with Kid A or The Bends and find some other kinda bogus theory linking the two.

[thom hudson]

so it's a dark side of the moon/wizard of oz situation? i kinda figured. i still like the playlist i made becasue of that article.

i didnt say they were making a numerical statement, but i do think the two titles starting with a 0 and 1 correlate and were intentional

[tarheel997]

anyways, this is a MUCH better theory with some real evidence...crazy shit

Ive read this before too. I doubt they timed their entire album perfectly just to get the strings to come into a song at a specific time.
