Phil Selway performing ‘Family Madness’ [video]

Posted on January 7th, 2009.

As reported in the past couple of days, Phil Selway and Ed O’Brien take part in the ‘7 Worlds Collide’ project. A project initiated by Neil Finn along with Johnny Marr, members of Wilco, Liam Finn, KT Tunstall and others.

Phil Selway debuted his own song on guitar and vocals on Monday January 5th. A short video of the Radiohead drummer has finally surfaced on YouTube. The quality is not too great, but it’s better than nothing. Here goes:

In the meantime, the last of the three shows is now over with some stage changes, but similar setlist as the previous nights. Jeff Tweedy returned on lead vocals on Radiohead’s ‘Fake Plastic Trees’.

Holy shit. What an unexpectedly pleasant surprise! Turns out all of Thom’s “Phil as Don Henley” talk wasn’t a rub.

Good call on FF comparison. Also, doesn’t he say it’s called “Power Of Madness”?

“The Power Of Madness”?

Also, he says “menny song”. This is why Phil stays so quiet during interviews, he can’t speak properly. Lovely song though.

I swear he says “The Ties That Binds Us” not “family madness”…maybe I’m wrong.

Ben

ah, yea, I’m wrong…he does say “Family Madness” at the start.

[...] Have your Phil… …Selway, that is. Check him stepping out from behind the drumset. More info on ateaseweb. [...]

The opening reminds me of Follow Me Around.

Nice, Phil!

Why can’t Phil just have a song for Radiohead? Would that be so awful? He could sing it too, that would make sense.

That was really excellent!

I love this, and not just because I’m a huge RH fan, but because… I love this!

Wow, I’m impressed. Real late 60’s, early 70’s vibe to it.

[...] yesterday’s video of Phil Selway performing his own ‘Family Madness‘, we now have video of the two Radiohead songs played in New Zealand. You can see and hear [...]

[...] Selway la ha tocado como parte de un show colectivo en el que estaban los compañeros de banda Ed O´Brian, Johnny Marr y Jeff Tweedy de Wilco para el proyecto 7 Worlds Collide en el PowerStation, según lo reportado en el site Ateaseweb.com [...]

Not bad at all, and not how I imagined Phil’s singing voice. Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever heard him talk. Kind of reminds me of Follow Me Around.

Cool, it sounds like a Gomez song (one of my favourite bands, so YES!) or Pink Floyd. Very nice indeed.
