I love the whole thing, the first song being my favorite, but I like his "worst" albums more than most of his "good" ones, I'm just wondering how people who aren't that wacky for him feel about it.

Does he say Alicia Keys in that first song?

If I'm not mistaken.

That band is so great. I'm sure you weren't disappointed.

You assume correctly. Loved it. They're opening for Clap Your Hands Say Yeah here soon...I'll probably be going.

RJD2- Deadringer

The Roots- Game Theory

Nice.

The Streets- Original Pirate Material

this damned Thé à la menthe (laser dance from ocean's 12). I just watched that movie and this beat is catchy. I'm just gonna repeat it over and over 'till I hate it and it gets out of my life.

El-P- Fantastic Damage

is that good?

Yes.

Some random old blues music for my History of Rock and Roll class.

Who?

Robert Johnson, Howlin' Wolf, T-Bone Walker, Bessie Smith, B.B. King, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Kokomo Arnold, Arthur Crudup, to name a few.

I assumed Johnson, but T-Bone I didn't. One of my favorites, and he doesn't get enough respect.

Yea, it's a sweet class, it has exposed me to a lot of music I never would have listened to before.

Elvis Costello - Imperial Bedroom
Flaming Lips - At War With the Mystics

Godspeed You Black Emperor!- F#A# Infinity and Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven

The Jesus and Mary Chain: Psychocandy

Tom Waits- Rain Dogs

Ooooh, good one. Maybe that'll be my next one, it's been a while.

I'm digging the new John Mayer album.

Franz Ferdinand, Darts of Pleasure

sw?

Currently being reminded why I love Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation so much.

No sir. I really do enjoy his guitar work.

On a smugger note, have you heard the new Beck at all? I've tried finding it a couple of times, but I don't think it's leaked. I'm very much looking forward to it.

Richard Cheese...


When I was a kid, for some reason I thought that singing lounge versions of hit songs would be a hilarious skit. Flash forward 10 years, and I heard this crazy song on the pirate radio station. It was a lounge song, and I relaized taht I recognizedt the lyrics, but couldn't reconcil them with the song... then it hit me, it was "nookie" by Limp Buiscuit. And it was the funniest fking thing I'd ever heard. I felt giddy that someone took my childhood dream and made it come true. If you've never heard Richard CHeese, you'll die. Listening to him cover 90's rock songs makes you realize what absurd pieces of crap lyrics they are. I recomend "closer" "Nookie" " keep them sepreated" and "wrong way" though pretty much every thing he covers is gold

Hail To The Thief, I think I like it more than Amnesiac now.

I love radiohead but I never really got into either album (after the greatness of kid A it was hard for me to like) but I will try em both exclusively tonight

I was the same, and it is still hard for me because Kid A is just so amazing. You just have to accept that these albums don't have to be as good as Kid A, but they can still be very very good. Take them for what they are.

This guy....





on the left....that's me on the right....

Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill

This is probably one of my favorite albums of all time.

Beck - Mutations
Boards of Canada - Campfire Headphase

anything three days grace

Junior Boys- So This Is Goodbye

Listening to the leaked Brand New demos right now. Pretty excellent.

Wow, I really like this album.

Sigur Ros - Takk

probably going to see tortoise tonight at the empty bottle. tortoise live is mind blowing.

That's definately one of the bands that I would really like to see live.

yea ****, are they touring right now?

Sorry Kid A fans...was not a fan...my rank

1. OK Computer



















2. Hail to the Thief
3. Amnesiac
4. The Bends
5. Kid A
(ignoring Pablo Honey because I've only listened to the whole thing a couple times)

How can you not say that OK Computer is the best of the 6? It's by far the best. Even if you prefer more electronic music, you at least have to appreciate how when OK Computer came out, there was nothing else like it. It was completely revolutionary. I like Hail because it sort of tones down the computer heavy Kid A/Amnesiac and combines with with OK. But OK Computer is hands down the best.

Now that I think about it...maybe I should give Kid A a listen again. I do like a lot of the songs, but most of the songs I like are the performances from the live album where some of the electronicness was toned down.

Ever heard of a band called Pink Floyd? They were pretty famous.

...so you're saying that there was something like Kid A.

Ok.

you've never heard of Aphex Twin? or Boards of Canada?

don't get me wrong, you guys know i love radiohead. but they really *aren't* as revolutionary as people give them credit for. they're a killer band, and thom has an incredible voice. but they still steal from other people.

Oh, don't get me wrong I know they had heavy influences from plenty of other bands. When I say revolutionary I mean it more in terms as creating an album like Kid A after an album like OK Computer.

Actually I'm going to listen to some Boards of Canada now, just because.

They changed music in the 70s. OK Computer came out in 97.




Just because there hasn't been something like Kid A doesn't make it a good thing.

Did I say that? No, I ws replying to this.



I agree with you, there was barely anything like it. I was just saying that I think there was less like Kid A when it came out.

They were both revelutionary in their own way.
