Thom Yorke crashes Copenhagen climate conference

For some reason this always reminds me of Harmony Korine  -   Anyone?   Anyone?

On this track, as on many others on the earlier albums and his solo The Eraser, Thom is more interested in being a singer rather than just using his voice as another instrument in the sonic landscape as in much of Kid A, Amnesiac and some of the later work.

I like both approaches.

Hey....A Radiohead sone I like!  First one ever.

I find this pleasantly discordant and Yorke's voice doesn't have the annoying quaver to it that often puts me off.  I give it an 8.

Very nice!

The always mutilayered and fabulous Radiohead!

No.  Just annoyingly discordant.

This is quite intriguing.

Nice underlying current of tension ... a characteristic of Radiohead at their best, IMO.

Nice punch-in at the beginning there. Ah, analog...

(or, mebbe, a convincing digital re-creation)

Oh a nice ride!  My brain is actually working at little to listen to this one.
That is what I love about Radiohead.

I'm one of those people that just don't get Radiohead and probably never will. However, I do like this and it seems a departure from most of the other Radiohead stuff I've been subjected to.

It's been said Radiohead is an acquired taste...but it's deeper than that for me.  The individual songs and albums always take a few listens to sink in for me.  I'm a huge fan of this band but there's always a lag from when I hear new material and when I start digging it.  Once I get it, then I'm totally hooked.  I haven't sussed this song out yet, but gimme a couple weeks.  I'm still working on In Rainbows...Bodysnatchers is such a great great song.

Thanks, Bill for playing this.  You've made a Radiohead fan very happy.

I have probably 600 hours of formal musical training, so I don't think it's door number one.  I've also spent a lot of time studying Selway's playing, because the commenters here hold him and Radiohead in such high regard.  And, my "hero-worship" days are decades behind me, although I think Harrison is the best rock drummer playing right now.

Carey is a worthy choice —- in fact, I uploaded a couple of Tool pieces that unfortunately didn't even make it to the LRC.

To me, Selway is to Harrison what Charlie Watts was to Mitch Mitchell —- not even in the same universe technically, but held in high regard by fans of the music.  And, after all of the hours I've spent studying Radiohead (including watching a live performance of Videotape very closely, where Selway appears to be unable to reproduce the rhythmic counterpoint that makes the studio version one of RH's less tedious pieces) I still don't get it.  I actually think that they're modern music's equivalent of The Big Lie.

Flame shields up ...

I see three possibilities. You have a very narrow understanding of music, you've not heard enough of Selway's work to make a fair judgement, or you have a hero-worship fixation on Harrison.

The latter I find totally understandable.  I personally think no drummer I've ever heard has even comes close to the work of Danny Carey.  But if it's one of the other two, you need to experience more, because you're missing out.  :)

They are indeed worthy of the Pink Floyd comparisons!

I have a HUGE wife-approved mancrush on Jonny. I think he's a genius.

That's it! It totally reminds me of early Floyd, but I just couldn't quite place it.

Ah, the old criticism-is-intolerance argument.   At least you didn't call him a racist.

It has a beautiful resemblance to early Pink Floyd. Great...coulda been a bit longer

The only band that matters.
