I don't think they'd ever formally break up unless somebody dies (even then, who knows). They've always gone their own way after every album cycle until something draws them back together. They're as much a collective as a band and they all support each other. W.A.S.T.E. doesn't even distinguish between Radiohead news/releases and solo/offshoot stuff, it's all just part of the same larger thing.

I don't think any of their albums were primarily recorded in that studio. They've always moved around to different places, and I'm pretty sure Nigel has his own studio. My guess is they just didn't need that place anymore, especially if not everyone lives close by anymore. Ed said that he's sure there'll be another Radiohead album and that they were planning to tour in 2021 before COVID hit.

SUNKOS posted:They do have some material for a new album however. Skirting on the Surface & Cut a Smile are great songs that didn't make it onto AMSP and I'm sure that there's others as well.

Would be fascinated to see them try however, with some kind of bizarre rework that ends up with a chaotic climax akin to National Anthem/Transatlantic Drawl, at least before the latter shifts so drastically in style.
|
The Smile version of Skirting (Skating) on the Surface is in 11/8 time which is a bit weird to listen to at first but I got an audio rip of it and having listened to it a bunch of times, I do like it now that I can hear the rhythm properly.

Kid A Mnesia just dropped here and the third disc Kid Amnesiae is pretty great despite my initial doubts when I saw the tracklist. Even though it is basically a lot of shorter snippets and a few full songs, it's sequenced and mixed as one continuous piece with no breaks between the tracks so it doesn't just feel like a grab bag of demos. It feels kind of like the soundtrack to an imaginary movie. Also I always heard that Pulk/Pull was based on True Love Waits and I couldn't really picture how that would be but after hearing the version of True Love Waits on Kid Amnesiae, I'll never be able to unhear it.

The most hosed up Radiohead song as far as the identifying the downbeat is by far The Butcher. It can easily take until the vocals come in to actually hear it properly.

It's really well done. I still have a ton of stuff left to see but I spent like 90 minutes in it this afternoon. The last thing I did was the room where, for lack of a better explanation, you float around inside How To Disappear Completely. Pyramid Song was next but I had to go out so that's where I left it. Definitely recommend playing (is that the right word?) with headphones.

The third disc of Kid A Mnesia makes a bit more sense now - I thought it felt like a soundtrack album when I first heard it, and now in retrospect, it feels like the soundtrack companion to the exhibition. It was cool that they featured True Love Waits and the piano take of Spinning Plates in the exhibition. Makes them feel more "official" and less like demo versions on a bonus disc.

IR Disc 2 has a lot of great stuff but it's basically a collection of B-sides, not exactly a cohesive album. And Last Flowers isn't even from the In Rainbows sessions, it's an outtake from the The Eraser. It's kind of a pity the live version of Down Is The New Up never got recorded, as the studio version has kind of a primitive arrangement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEGmTQy1KhU

It doesn't feel much like AMSP to me at all. If anything it reminds me of Anima in places. I really like it a lot.

The thing that tells me that this isn't just Thom and Jonny's post-Radiohead period is that they didn't put a single Radiohead song into the setlist (unless you dubiously count the few songs that Radiohead soundchecked or performed once). Contrast that with Thom's solo gig he did last month where he did a ton of Radiohead stuff, mixed with some Smile and solo tracks. If this was a "Radiohead is dead and this is what comes next" type of project, I don't think he would treat them as such clearly distinct entities. I can't say for sure that we'll see more Radiohead activity, but I wouldn't be surprised.

SUNKOS posted:There's a Smile song which is absent from the album which a lot of people seem to be disappointed about, but I saw someone post a video of Radiohead jamming it live during their last tour (I think?) and it sounded a lot better with the whole band together performing it. Makes me wonder how much material actually started as Radiohead tunes. I think some old songs have finally seen release on Thom solo projects as well, haven't they? They must have a huge vault of material, especially when it can take such a long time for songs performed live to make it onto an album after it's been floating around for a decade or longer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SfLBElBXq8&t=255s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3mYfI6lJAA&t=30s SUNKOS posted:I vaguely recall an interview with Jonny where he talked about trying to finalize the track listing for the Smile record as well and I think he mentioned them having a lot of songs to try to cut down from. I might be remembering wrong but I think he implied they had recorded enough material to easily release two albums if they wanted.  The number in question is 13 factorial (i.e. the number of possible permutations of 13 songs, which is the number of tracks on the released album). As far as I know they've played all the songs they have live, including at their recent live shows when they introduced a new song. I wouldn't be surprised to see new songs introduced as the tour progresses though. Being a three-piece should make it a lot easier to introduce new stuff on the fly.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGx1t3ZUvtU They've introduced another new song called "Bodies Laughing", introduced as brand new but also notably present on the Radiohead studio blackboards from 2005 and 2006, so who knows if it's just a re-used title or actually that original song.

The 06 live version has a great energy but that I don't think that kind of anthemic crescendo would translate very well to a Radiohead record, especially not on an album like In Rainbows. It would have ended up sounding like Coldplay or something.

$100 for tickets in 2022 doesn't seem that unreasonable to me (whether I would justify the expense is another matter). I just checked and when I saw Neil Young at Massey Hall in 2007, the tickets were $150 each for upper gallery seats.

Yeah, that's the song that Radiohead most likely worked on before the In Rainbows sessions. It seems to be about that bizarre UK phenomenon known as happy slapping which would date it to around 2005.

The headline is deeply misleading, I listened to the interview months ago and he just means the band is on hiatus at the moment (which is hardly new, they weren't together in 2013-2014 either). He specifically says towards the end of the interview that he's pretty sure they'll be back together at some point.

I don't think it's discount Radiohead or anything like it. The only time Radiohead ever really strayed in that direction were a few tracks on Hail to the Thief and Com Lag.

I think a lot of what people ascribe to Thom getting weird with it is actually Nigel getting weird with it while Thom cheers him on and sings over top of it. Thom is a melody man in the end. Whenever Thom strikes out totally on his own, he's always just playing guitar and piano, maybe a loop pedal thrown in there. It's only when he's collaborating with Nigel that he starts with the skittering beats and loops.

These Are My Twisted Words actually came out a couple of years before King of Limbs towards the end of the In Rainbows tour, but I consider it part of the TKOL era just the same.

I don't think Radiohead is done yet. Phil recently said as much.quote:Clearly you have been busy making this great record of your own. So it doesn’t feel like the Smile is holding things up in terms of being able to get back to Radiohead? I also think if Thom and Jonny had decided to leave Radiohead behind and just have The Smile be their band from now on, they'd be playing at least one Radiohead song at their shows. He's never been shy about putting Radiohead songs alongside his other songs in any other context, but with The Smile he hasn't touched their discography with a ten foot pole, even when they were clearly short on material and could have easily gotten away with some obscure B-sides or something. It's like he's going out of his way not to step on their toes.

As far as I know (or can find online, including the Citizen Insane page on it) it's not related to any Radiohead song. It kind of reminds me of Lotus Flower a little bit but otherwise I can't hear any Radiohead song I know in it. edit: the reference to the "earlier version" probably means the live versions from the 2009/2010 tours, as opposed to the 2013 release on the Amok album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwY0i8Q5Bdk Volte fucked around with this message at 16:43 on May 26, 2023 |

The band has said they don't think HTTT is that good so I dunno if we'll see much fanfare. If anything I could see them releasing another "try" at it, a new tracklist and mix to make it fit together, but if anything that seems like something they'd put on Bandcamp or something and not a major anniversary release.
