Radiohead win Grammy for Best Alternative Album

yes!

lousy sound for a tv stream

Radiohead doesn’t need a Grammy to prove that they’re the greatest band in the world!

Collaboration worked a pearler.

Thom not easy to watch though. Slightly cringey.

Amen.

it was a tremendous performance.

Only one grammy??????
shit.
this is unnfair.
but i understand, i´m portuguese and here the radios never play the new song of radiohead, only the “creep”.
But ok, they dont need grammys to do the best music in the world.
cheers

Is that the longest Thom’s hair has been since Pablo Honey?
Where were Colin, Ed and Phil?
Was a really good performance.
Please be at Glastonbury.

one day the world will realise the greatness of radiohead, but to be honest id like to keep them all to ourselves, its not like radiohead will EVER become a commercal band, they are worth so much more than that!!!
love u guys keep up the good work

one day the world will realise the greatness of radiohead, but to be honest id like to keep them all to ourselves, its not like radiohead will EVER become a commercal band

It doesn’t sound like you were around for OK Computer. I doubt it’s possible for a band to get more acclaim and hype from just about everyone including mainstream press and television.

Did anyone see Bono? They were awful. The boys were brilliant.

And about the sound everyone else there last night sounded terrible. Radiohead was the only ones that sounded like they enjoyed playing their music.

The one and only sellout at the Grammys!!!!! I am so sick of the coutry/rap, rap/rap, R&B/polka, bluegrass/jazz/metal, stupid ass fucking collaborations at the Grammys this past decade or so. So what does RH do? They pull in a fucking marching band as the percussion section on a phenomenal digitally created track. Fucking brilliant. If they had joined Lil Wayne on stage, I would have slit my fucking wrist. Neil Diamond, I would have allowed possibly. I would have expected nothing less from RH, and as always, they devlivered.

The opposite of sellout! I must still be drunk. Sorry for the confusion. Radiohead….I want to go to there.

getting a grammy would tarnish radiohead. Stanley Kubrick, Alfred Hitchcock and Akira Kurosawa never won a Best Director Oscar too.

They should’ve won album of the year.
But that performance was absolutely
incredible. Mind blowing- I’ve watched
it four times today. And how ironic was
it that Gweneth Paltrow presented the
award? Ha

Great performance,I watched the show just to see them,I knew that grammy`s people would not give them best album of the year because these people are so conservative and Radiohead is too avant garde for them. Anyway they don`t need a grammy…they are the best band ever period.

Yes, honestly I think Radiohead DO deserve the Album of the Year award.. kinda of acknowledgment for their hardwork and innovation. (i wished for at least). But once again the grammy was such a let down. ColdPlay inreturn got pretty much attention for a song that I cant even bear to listen past its first min! I mean for goodness sake. Viva La whatever was crap! their video was crap too!

and yes, its such ironic they asked Gweneth Paltrow to present their performance. But she DID mention alot about RH.

Sorry for being such a hater and we should keep Radiohead to ourselves

where’s the irony in gweneth p introducing radiohead? i don’t think it meets the definition of irony. it’s batty, it’s random, it doesn’t make any sense, but it’s not ironic. sorry.

Gwenyth Paltrow is a super huge fan of Radiohead which is why she introed them. That is also why she bangs Chris Martin….she knows that is the closest she will ever get to hooking up with any of the guys in RH. If you can’t get the real thing, get the closest imitator I guess. Still, she looked pretty hot.

The performance was amazing. Definitely the best and most unique performance on the show.

I still can’t believe who won the album of the year. You could tell by the crowd reaction that they were in disbelief as well. Barely any applauding. Radiohead really deserved to win it, but oh well!

Hey, the Robert Plant and Alison Krauss album is pretty good actually. I’m not saying it’s better than In Rainbows, but there’s no reason to put it down.

Ed, Phil and Colin were there as well. They showed a camera shot of them before Album of the Year was stolen away from them.

Performance was fantastic but i was seriously angered by the lack of respect shown to them by the audience. No standing ovation yet the Jonas Brothers get one?

51st Grammys – 15 Step. Golden Ratio!!!

ah, who cares if they didn’t win album of the year?
they still kicked all the other performer’s asses with their show.

Thom Yorke will win Album of the Year when at 60 yrs old he sells out and records a shitty half-country album with Taylor Swift and Grammy voters crap their pants and choose it over a more deserving innovative masterpiece by a band from England.

I don’t think they want to be main stream and I’m glad it’s that way. I probably wouldn’t like them as much

You all had some interesting comments. I really enjoyed RH performance; it was definently the most ceative one I’ve seen on tv in a long time. I agree that I would not enjoy RH so much if they were “mainstream.” I appreciate their uniqueness.

Ed’s 9ft. Cock: i don’t agree with you about Nigel Godrich… i think he did a FABOLOUS work with In Rainbows, it’s obvious it won’t sound something like OK-C, first of all it’s Radiohead 10 years later, second i don’t think Nigel will stuck up in past copying the same production ”formula” he already did 10 years earlier, and third of all he made a Hell of a production, the songs are perfectly joined in a minimalistic concept (that’s why they cut off and changed some parts of the 2006 live versions). They had to make tough decisions with the songs, and Videotape is a great example and i think he was clever in taking out ”down is the new up” and the other songs in the bonus disk (though i would have kept ”Go Slowly”…) Nigel is a great producer, and still is and will have plenty of albums to prove it… that he wasn’t nominated doesn’ mean anything… it has meaning when YOU find something good of it. And radiohead didn’t win the best album maybe for other reasons, like someone said ”the grammy people are too conservative” and prefered to give it to a big rock star like Robert Plant because what he’s done.. and that’s even OK for me… you people still have to notice that they won THE BEST ALTERNATIVE ALBUM OF THE YEAR… that’s great!

On the question of Nigel’s prowess:
You gotta be kidding me.
Radiohead’s music has been more distorted, especially on Amnesiac and Hail…
Listen closely to Backdrifts. Or Packt Like Sardines. Do you think the buzzing is accidental??? Furthermore, Kid A and Amnesiac were recorded together, how could you contend that the quality of production is different? And In Rainbows sounds pristine. Again, where it’s distorted, it was meant to be distorted.
Do us a favor, if you don’t know anything about a subject, don’t comment on it.

great! smashing! super! best performance of the night and very cool marching band. They completely showed up the so called “greats” and that’s including THAT Beatle guy I wish the others had performed though!

I truly don’t understand the choice that was made. =(

i was sad i couldn’t play me drums

Oh, and go listen to Bodysnatchers on vinyl and then compare it to the cd version. Then come back and tell me that the guitars are supposed to sound that distorted (as they do on the final commercial cd).

HA!

I still think you’re on crack. Thom’s vocals sound fine on both the eraser and in rainbows. my ears are pretty sharp in fact. Radiohead consistently has the sharpest production in rock music; when i played in rainbows for a friend who, while not a radiohead fan, is a recording engineer by trade, he commented that the production is the most impressive aspect of the album. Your opinion on this issue puts you in a distinct minority, and furthermore, your handle here is childish and obnoxious.

For the record, this site is usually a breath of fresh air, free of the bile that characterizes so many internet music blogs, and while I don’t mean to contribute negativity, it’s ridiculous to criticize Radiohead’s production values.

“it’s ridiculous to criticize Radiohead’s production values.”

Umm…why?

Wow Ed’s 9 feet cock you really seem to know your shit. When the un-mastered version of hail to the thief came into my ears, i though: “Wow, these are gonna be fucking nice once it comes up properly mixed and mastered.”

but when the album finally came out, i put it on, and i really wasnt impress with the sound. I remember thinking: “Jeez, is this really the final product?” I do think that In Rainbows sounds very good, not being a expert at sound, but Hail to the thief kinda sounds like crap. Plus if I may add, There There sounded so good live, especially the part after the 2nd chorus, very energic and all, and the studio version they recorded kinda felt flat, sequences, and soulpowerless. anyone else felt that way?

Let me add that I think it’s one of Nigel’s greatest productions. As an aside, I think the production on Optimistic is his low point with the band.

No Radiohead record will ever sound as sharp and clean as OK Computer.

This is my opinion of course. But since OK is the record that really earned Radiohead all their critical acclaim and brought them to the forefront of alternative-indie rock or whatever the fuck you want to call it.. I find it rather hard to argue the fact that the songwriting and production was brilliant on that one, more so than In Rainbows. Again, my opinion. But I don’t believe that this last one will go down in history as their masterpiece. I think OK is still the album to beat in that respect.

I hate to be critical of the band I love so much, but I can see them slowly slipping away. Just listening to bootleg cd’s and live videos on YouTube has revealed to me that Thom’s voice has been heading south and that the fans still get the most excited over cuts like Paranoid Android and Karma Police than they do about House of Cards and Reckoner.

I do enjoy Jigsaw though. I think they actually got the recording of that one right. But I think it should have kept the name “Open Pick” and been the first track on the album.

I dunno. Fuck it. Cheers

Hey what is music if we cant fucking analyse it and discuss its production values and shit. Some people find it interesting not only to listen to it, but also to look deep into it. If you’re not happy stop reading the fucking comments. We’re not gonna talk about the fucking grammies forever. Peace!

I also studied Recording and Sound Production…. SO????!!! Mr. Cock Expert, i’m not interesting on listening to minute 3:23 of song 4 in album 7, or whatever you want us to listen to, just to prove your pointless argument… and I don’t have the vynil like you do….pfss… what i’m trying to say is DON’T BE SO NERD ABOUT IT…. you may know how to master your Cd’s or whatever, but i guess you never got the whole idea of In Rainbows concept… that makes a masterpiece, not the stupid and nerd detail of if they used a Shure57 for the voice or a Behringer…. i bet nobody noticed that detail of ”distortion” that you mentioned… don’t forget it’s MUSIC

But I do agree that on the tracklist of the album Track 1 must have been Jigsaw… and would have changed some other songs order too, but that’s a small detail too…

i don t know if someone already taked about this or not . . . and i don t really want to read 78 comments hehe so . . .

the only thing i have to say is :

did you see both thom and johnny [ don t bother with spelling please . . . ] ‘ s faces on this picture here @ atease ? . . . those 2 faces are sending such a positive energy and smile to this world – we need that – big time – . . . so radiohead . . . don t get too mainstream – we like those smiles . . .

peace and love

p.

ps : fuck i truly think DrTchocky is him for real . . . and i am happy for that . . . even if is not truth . . . i love this world . . . why are we being so stupid ?

I kill NERDS, i love killing them

You can keep arguing about Nigel all you want. In the end most people won’t have any idea which awards Radiohead did/didn’t win, or who did or didn’t dance naked with McCartney. As much as everyone including Kanye West seemed inspired by their performance of 15 step, the “diss of Kanye West by Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke” (complete with Kanye saying how it broke his heart on tape, on YouTube, in the middle of a VH1 broadcast concert where he plays new songs, as if Thom talked about Aphex dissing him in between Jigsaw and Reckoner in Scotch Mist) is going to be all anyone remembers of these Grammys in a few years. It may do some damage to how seriously people take Kanye, but he’s liked by more people than Thom, so he will have the sympathy in the end, and the severe damage it’s going to do to Thom (and how seriously anyone takes him) will make him second only to Chris Brown in career killing moves on a single weekend in LA. it’s going to have a devastating effect on the makeup of Radiohead’s fanbase, Radiohead’s public image, and Radiohead’s own critically proclaimed status as something like the “voice of a generation”, regardless of anyone’s feelings on Mr. West or his music. this is their “Mission Accomplished” or “Heckuva Job, Brownie.” this is what finally makes Radiohead irrelevant. It will cement the creep image Thom Yorke has been trying to escape for his entire career, and define Thom Yorke to anyone who isn’t previously aware of him, which is a lot of people, and that’s going to set Radiohead back to a place they don’t want to be, loved by pop hating elitists, an image of has-been, under-rock-dwelling, tin-eared (subtext: racist) old men that will not attract new fans worth having. Of course needless to say, your image affects the kind of statement you can make and how well you inspire people with your music going forward, and Radiohead have always been well aware of this, and sought to change things up to create a positive climate around their music that would help in people identifying with it. In Rainbows and everything surrounding it so far has been their best marketing ever, their most trust of their fans, and the resulting payoff. I’ve been a fan for 9 years and they have made little mistakes but hardly any. Until just now, they were in a better place than they’ve ever been in the public consciousness. Kanyegate is the first seriously bad karma in Radiohead’s career. It seems small, but it will become a large thing. I don’t think going there was worth this, since it will do damage beyond any positive results of playing a song there. But I guess we all thought Thom was beyond this kind of stuff. I know this sounds like laughable exaggerations now, but remember no one has seen the tape. Remember Radiohead has been defined as a band known for openmindedness to all genres, and remember Kanye is not only an arrogant exaggerator: he is the most successful hip hop star of the past 5 years, he receives nearly as much critical acclaim as Radiohead (this is not Coldplay we’re talking about) and he’s one of the biggest pop stars in the world right now, having controversially “graduated” from hip hop. Kanye’s last album in fact was widely compared to Kid A for his change in style, and Kanye’s largest fansite (including its moderator, who himself had a Thom Yorke avatar, and attended the taping of this concert, and broke this story on their site, and you can tell how disappointed he was) was full of huge admirers of Radiohead. Radiohead have been defined for being a band that, however anonymous or abrasive as personalities on the outside, were just uncomfortable with the bullshit aspects of the industry and were actually deeply appreciative of their hardcore fans, and admirably neurotic, rather than misanthropic. Even if the diss of Kanye hardly proves this image was entirely wrong, that’s what will become the story. Kanye was a hardcore Radiohead fan-a bigger Eraser fan than most people here, for fuck’s sake. Seriously this is not good news for Radiohead, and the sooner people stop using it as an opportunity to slate Kanye for his arrogance, the sooner you will begin to see the tiny dimensions of the time capsule Radiohead have just hermetically sealed themselves into.

well, first of all, why would Thom Yorke talk about his own ignoring of Kanye? it didn’t mean anything to Thom (like it meant to Kanye, that’s the whole point here) and anyway who would challenge him on it? he doesn’t ever do interviews anymore. Kanye probably didn’t come up with this out of nowhere, they probably asked him a question about his experience at the Grammys this year. considering how little excitement there was at the Grammys I would expect for anyone that a feeling of personal rejection by one of their musical loves would linger in the memory, especially given the attention Radiohead’s performance received, and really if it made the person feel so bad, why not mention it? you’re right, it doesn’t make Kanye come off the biggest person to go public with such seemingly personal disappointments or misunderstandings, one could say even if he was a big fan he should realize what a public misanthrope Yorke is and not expect politeness, but then again, I’m a big fan and I know about how Thom is and this was a huge shock to me because Thom is not supposed to be like this in one-on-one encounters with fans who approach him as fans and treat him as a person, even if they happen to be famous, and it sounds like Kanye did exactly the same approach here. imo, it’s fundamentally different from any of the other disses so far, unless Kanye is outright lying about what happened. It’s different cause Thom is not in the 1997-2000 phase where all non-aggressive contact with mainstream culture seemed to do his head in, he’s supposed to have grown up and got semi-used to being famous, and grateful for having the position of being able to serve as a mainstream ambassador for the sounds and ideas that are so important to him. and the Grammys was new for them this year because they could stand it for the first time, I thought, and I had a lot of respect for them for playing there even though some fans didn’t. And now, fucking hell, it turns out he can make adverts for the Grammys, he can sit there and listen to Gwynnie fawn all over his band, he went out that evening to dance naked with members of Maroon 5 (whose only moving music was with Kanye!!), and then not speak to a pop star who at least is trying to say some honest things in his music, who’s done great stuff in the past, and who praised Thom’s music all over his own ad, what does that say? Second thing is that all the other disses that have been recorded, have either been of members of bands whose music had similarities to Thom’s and was lumped together with Thom’s in a way that, again, “did his head in” for a while (Coldplay etc) or else, people (i.e. Ronan Keating) whose music simply has such different ambitions from his that even if Thom could appreciate it on its own merits, he may not be able to see those people as fellow musicians, closed minded as he is. This case is different because whatever you think of some of Kanye’s music, you can’t deny that as a whole he has different goals from say Ronan Keating or even Coldplay. it’s the first time Thom ever dissed a musician who is coming from a similar place as Thom in some ways, yet makes a completely different style of music which no one could mistake for a ripoff of his work. I.e. there is no excuse for the diss, unless Thom wants to start being one of those Kid Rock or Gallagher figures whose image is based on rejecting everyone else not up to his own perfect standards. it’s not that he has to praise or even listen to the music of everyone else out there- notice how Kanye didn’t say he was upset because Thom told him he hadn’t listened to him or said he didn’t love his albums- but at least, he wouldn’t mind having them as fans, right??

Kanye has always been very publicly emotional, it seems the way he is talking about it isn’t a “fuck Thom, now I won’t listen to Radiohead” kind of attitude, but just stating the fact of what happened, that he went up to him and with unusual humility for Kanye, just said he was a fan (not the greatest in the world) and Thom had no words and wouldn’t look at him or something. Now just Kanye stating it that way, and apparently it’s one of the more emotional moments of his interview, that turns this into a big deal- many people watching won’t have heard Thom’s music (while Kanye has been steadily in the top 5 of the album charts for the past three months). I’m sure the real reason is no particular animosity toward Kanye’s music or even his personality (Thom’s ears being under a rock since Kanye broke out) but more like Thom’s delusional view of the entire pop scene as some conspiracy of automatons he wants no part of, and thus, a popular musician “celebrity” such as Kanye, encountered for the first time at the Grammys, being an emissary of that Great Satan known as “fridge buzz”. However, non-Radiohead fans not having watched Meeting People Is Easy, read interviews, studied lyrics, and being generally unaware of the odd pathways of Thom’s mind, “dissing” Kanye even by ignoring his thanks to Thom for making music, makes it appear Thom doesn’t want Kanye as a fan, and viewers of the interview will have to guess why that would be, since no explanation will be given. Is it because Kanye’s too popular? (“Radiohead hate popular music, they want to be obscure for its own sake”, just the tag they had been avoiding lately). Because he does, or did, hip hop? (“Radiohead only like rock music, they’re closed minded to other genres, they don’t like hip hop musicians, in fact rappers and producers aren’t musicians because hip hop isn’t music”, the pure opposite of Radiohead’s philosophy since OK Computer, but no one but Radiohead fans will be able to guess that Thom’s playlists are over 50% hip hop related or beat related music) or maybe even because he’s black (let’s face it Radiohead’s most highly visible fans are not usually black, apart from Kanye himself that is, and many much less famous people. most people watching will have no idea he danced naked at a party with ?uestlove that same night).

The fact is, however someone interprets it, even just as simple pop star elitism, this makes Thom look very very bad, whatever it says about Kanye too.

Swagger, i.e. Swagga Like Us, is the only reason I can think to make sense of why Thom would act this way. Perhaps he was genuinely offended by the rap pack’s “Paper Planes” desecration (perhaps more so because his children were watching at home?), never having heard their track before, being an MIA fan himself- his whole family are huge MIA fans, apparently- and being unaware of any other contributions Kanye had made to civilization, except just possibly the “Us Placers” Eraser remix which he may have felt was useless and offensive on a more personal level to him, ignoring the obvious admiration of the remixers for the original. Or maybe Thom’s enough of a pop snob to work up a serious hatred for him just on the basis of having performed American Boy. (Now that would be sad.) I wonder though, if as you suggest, Thom had wasted his time reading enough gossip headlines or watching enough mindless TV shows to know about Kanye’s “ego” yet also lives so far under a rock he hasn’t bothered to listen to his albums to know there is some kind of substance (like it or not) beyond merely ego, what does that say about Thom Yorke? It would be like if Thom was known to be a Michael Stipe fan, even though his own music had certain large differences with Stipe’s, and if he approached Stipe in 1995 to say thanks for making music and Stipe just ignored him because he’d read in the media how Thom was a moody bastard, without bothering to listen to his work. I think you’re correct that the rejection probably had nothing to do with music, which he probably hasn’t listened to, but I really doubt that if Thom lacks knowledge of Kanye’s music, he has any additional knowledge about his ego, since he isn’t known to follow the tabloids, and certainly not to trust them. Really, if he found out any fact about Kanye by accident or from a friend in recent months, without paying attention, it should be that #1 fact. Kanye answered “Thom Yorke” as one of the artists that influenced him most in the questionnaires they sent out to make those Grammy posters, and thus was a “real fan”, not just someone who heard on that very night that Radiohead would be at the Grammys and thought it would be cool to say hi to a fellow celebrity (though we desire for approval by Thom could have been part of it, I think it obviously isn’t the only part of it since Kanye has namedropped him on earlier occasions, and Thom’s own desire for approval by his idols like Neil Young and Stipe has surely played into some of the praise he’s given them publicly, whether he’s aware of it or not). #2 fact. Kanye changed his musical style from the expectations of his genre to embrace more electronic sounds because he is into them (and yeah, perhaps to find a different or larger audience- as Radiohead did with Kid A- but again, the fact he is genuinely into those sounds is apparent). Now even if Thom detests Kanye’s latest album and some of Kanye’s public pronouncements (which I’m sure he would if he was aware of them- if he would like any Kanye album, it’s most likely to be The College Dropout) there are surely others he could respect. Let’s see… Radiohead made an entire depressing and somewhat useless, except in a historical context, record all about their defeatist attitude in the face of the actions of Osama Bin Laden, Tony Blair and George W. Bush, titling the album in a provocative manner yet all the while while rejecting the idea of making a “political” album when clearly they had made decisions in its recording that intentionally minimized the enjoyability of the music and thus its ONLY value was as a document of the powerless feeling many people felt in the political situation at the time. Ok. Well, Kanye made an album a couple of years later that said more than a few things, but people could actually be inspired by, and then said straight out on national TV, “George Bush doesn’t care about black people,” which turned out to be about the exact moment George Bush’s presidency went from general approval in America to general disapproval, paving the way for the downfall of the radical right wing agenda that had taken over the country, the agenda most responsible for Thom having to make an album such as Hail to the Thief. I think Thom Yorke had better respect that, even if he would never do the same moves as an artist. Kanye is really the ’90s U2 of the ’00s music world, and Thom might have a love-hate relationship with U2 (and was stupid enough to publicly claim “we’re better than them” in 1995, even when U2 are such an obvious influence on early Radiohead) yet I don’t think he would have ever been stupid enough to try to just ignore Bono if he approached to say thanks for making music, stupid enough to scowl or say “I’ve heard of you” and look away. No. Maybe Bono would “deserve” it, as some say Kanye deserves this, but no way would Thom act like that with Bono, because Thom realizes it’s good to have people like Bono as genuine fans of Thom Yorke, even if Thom Yorke can’t be a genuine fan of Bono. Kanye as a fan helps more people discover Radiohead, and honestly, more the “right” kind of people, than having Kanye as an enemy will help, since Radiohead like Kanye are pop artists, for which true musical elitists should have zero interest, and so, the only people he attracts by “dissing” him are people whose main mission in life is to hate Kanye so much that if someone else is unbelievably rude to him that person gains a lot of respect in their eyes (a relatively small number of people, simply because those who hate Kanye’s music or ego may still defend him in this situation where it appears he was unusually humble and got a cruel putdown) or else people who hate not Kanye himself but the entire pop and/or hip hop genre he represents, who hate any music they hear on the radio, especially if it isn’t “real” i.e. has beats in it, or rapping (a large number of people, and I think ones Thom would not ever want to gain as Radiohead fans). In the end it won’t matter that musical differences weren’t the reason for this event. This kind of rudeness is just not normal, though, even for artists of Thom’s reputation for making odd music. It’s a misunderstanding that appears to make no sense, but most people won’t give the benefit of the doubt to some aging rock star they’ve barely heard of, even if Thom says *anything* more about it in his own defense (which he’s not going to do, let alone apologize to Kanye after he publicly executes this perfect jujitsu on Thom’s reputation) and so people who hear about it will wonder why and form their own crazy, and mostly very wrong, interpretations. And yes, Thom should be “grateful of the fact”, not because it’s Kanye, but because he should be grateful of every real fan, and I think most of us thought that he still was.

Prophet, weird fishee, Patrica whoever you are, just STOP!

Please go see a doctor…

Kanye is a pop star, not an underground hip hop star, you’re right. I know Thom likes underground hip hop, and old school hip hop. However, most people have no way of knowing that, so may assume things that are wrong, in a case like this where people have to guess as to why Thom did what he did (it’s not that Kanye is going to provide any explanation why it happened, so really, thinking Thom is a worthless asshole is going to be the most common interpretation whatever happens). Secondly, in my view Thom doesn’t come off any better for dissing a huge pop star than he would for dissing an underground hip hop star, if the huge pop star has a reputation for taking risks and saying things with his music the way Kanye has had, at times. Just because Kanye makes blatantly pop music, does not mean he doesn’t experiment within that genre. He quite clearly is one of the more experimental pop artists today, in terms of changing his style and trying to speak in different ways to different people. In fact Kanye experiments a lot more than a lot of underground hip hop (or indie rock) which are both genres that today are based on nostalgia and rehashing old styles. But your reply just sums up the anti-mainstream sentiment among a lot of Radiohead fans. I guess if all Radiohead fans all hate all pop artists other than Radiohead, this is no problem, since all Radiohead fans would by extension hate Kanye West. However, in fact this seems certainly wrong, and there is a lot of overlap in their fan bases. I just hope people who like Kanye are more rational than some of the people who like Radiohead, and maybe they won’t let this affect their feelings on the songs.

well then,
it’s obvious Thom hates autotune!

You got that right Mike…

Someone here has too much fucking free time. If i felt like reading a book I’d buy one.

By the way, Depeche Mode’s new album sounds pretty good! Oh wait, this is a radiohead site.

MY version of amnesiac’s got The amazing sound of orgy and Trans-atlantic drawl, right before Pyramid song. I know Thom didnt want it this way, but at the end im the one fucking listening to it, right?

I think 2+2=5 sounds like crap, especially the rocking part. Such a good fucking song, but where’s the bass that sounds so good live!?

I also replaced the awful Atoms for peace with Jetstream on The Eraser, just because it makes sense. No more skipping tracks.

The version of In Rainbows i got has 14 songs. Yes, Down is the new up, up on a ladder, bangers & Mash and Last flowers are on there. What the fuck!?

How come there is 2 Los Angeles version of I will!? One on Comlag, with drums and bass, and one on the 2+2=5 cds, that sounds like the unmastered version we heard first. They both have the same title, what the fuck!

How come even though i love radiohead to death i cant stand one fucking song on Pablo honey!?
We’re they on drugs, or did they discover drugs in 1997?

How come The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are such a fucking good band!? (Try it if you havent)

And finally, why the fuck is it snowing upward here!!???

What the fuck happened here…

Jesus, fer fuck sake, what have I told you about blogging! Dont you have some people to save or something? At least dont use your real fucking name, what the hell are you trying to do, make the Devil notice you? Gosh! Freaking idiot!

God

I used to rule the world…

Hello People! Just wanted to tell you that I bought tickets to the Taylor Swift concert on Nov 11thFri. In this place you can find tickets for other dates too. It’s amazing Taylor and his band performance, this is my second time and I’m still so excited about listening him live! On this page you can see the section where you’re buying the ticket, so it’s very recommended!
