One question: how can a man be a witch? I thought that they could only be female. Warlock?

A few motifs aside, like crosses on doors, the video and the song aren't really that closely related. 

The song seems to be about the surveillance state, or maybe online mob mentality.

Bit of a tricky one that.  Start with In Rainbows.  Then OK Computer.  Then The Bends.

Cheers mate. Will listen to those albums today at work and report back!

Yes, that's a good way to get in. Then once you're hooked, there's so much more to explore...! You can start on the 'difficult' albums...

From reading between the lines of what's been said to me that remains a strong possibility, I think - tho I might be completely off-target with how I've read between the lines.

Something else someone different said to me suggested that was possible too ... tho Michael supposedly said recently that they're not playing, which is more suggestive of a secret set if they're playing at all.

Take your pick.

I asked him directly if Radiohead were playing at the recent CPRE talk in Pilton. His exact words were "No. Not this year" and then added something along the lines of "but they'll be here, Tom and the boys always are". Maybe he was doing his best to try and play it down and keep at least one thing secret? And I'd also like to add when I asked him when was the rest of the lineup going to be announced, he replied "it already is, isn't it?". This was on April 14.

Michael denied that Pulp were booked the year they played a secret set, so him saying they're not playing doesn't mean that they're not ... tho of course he might be correct, too.

I'd rather either all of their music or none of their music be on Spotify. It annoys me that In Rainbows isn't. Switching between Spotify and the music player on my phone is annoying!

Yes yes I know, 21st Century problems 'n' all that!

Yeah I'd say 6/10 too. Above average but no Lotus Flower. Expect it'll sound pretty ace at the Roubdhouse though.

see even to this day Lotus Flower just doesn't do it for me. it's okay, but i just find it a bit sterile and when listening to TKOL it often passes me by without making much of an impact. baffled when i saw some people on here put it in their top 5 Radiohead tracks, but different strokes i guess

I really like the new track! Was expecting not to for some reason. I agree that it sounds better over headphones and you just know it is going to be huge live. Really hope they open the roundhouse gigs with it.

I also agree with whoever said it feels like it ends abruptly, but presumably on the album the next track will follow on appropriately.

I always assume people who have it high up their lists are thinking about the live version of it, which is well ace and much better than on record (in my opinion).

Agree with the headphones, must've watched the video on my phone half a dozen times during the day, turned it right up through the headphones last night and it's a different animal altogether

That was my main thought after listening to it. It feels as though it's the first part of something. Could be the album opener with a new track following straight on from it. If the next track on the album is completely different altogether then I might have a bigger issue with the abrupt ending.

      Climate Change

      By steviewevie · Posted

      It does feel like there's a push back against net zero from both left and right, but especially the right. Probably since Trump I guess, but even before Trump you had the tea party and Sarah Palin thing, but over here the right were on board with the issue of climate change and the need to address it, from Thatcher through to Johnson. That has now changed, first it was the populist right, not it is mainstream, with Badenoch making the two prerequisites for standing for the Tories being against net zero, and for leaving the ECHR. You can be an ex neo-nazi as long as you are against net zero. At least many now seem to accept the climate change is happening and it is caused by us, but they now say well it will be a nice mediterranean climate so lets bin net zero anyway and just have fun f**k all that woke green sh*t. But also the left, with various trade union leaders and blue labour types going on about net zero being bad for the economy and the need for reindustrialisation as we head back to the glory days of the 50s when we all worked down pit or something, ignoring the amount of industries and jobs created by net zero. The greens obviously are still firmly behind the net zero thing, but the party is also full of nimbys who are worried about hedgerows and hedgehogs and votes, and even the leadership have realised that there isn't votes in climate doomerism but there definitely is in bashing billionaires and Israel. I guess the main driver of net zero policies in the country is still Miliband which is probably why everyone seems to be f**king terrified of him, the mad freak and his renewables. He is out of the energy department, but his replacement is hardly a petrolhead, and he isn't in the treasury doing terrifying things like spending money, but he is in the foreign office which is maybe a good place for him because climate change is a global issue and its going to take a global effort.
