JSmurphy Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 So that'll be the AMSP era over, then. Looking forward to the band's solo projects but I wonder how far away new Radiohead material is. No new songs played during the tour, so I'm expecting a long wait, 2022/23 for some new stuff maybe? Hope I'm wrong tho. 76 shows and still no Just since 09! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out there's this web site called "Google" where you can find out the answers to all sorts of questions. Yes, he's towards the end of recording it now if his plans from last November panned out: https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/music/a13529349/radiohead-ed-obrien-interview/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSmurphy Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Hope Ed or Thom are at the farm next year. Most excited to hear the Suspiria soundtrack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just depends if his record is out and if he's going to tour it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingcrawler Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Where would Thom play? Something like JP headliner seems a good fit but quite hard to judge. I think it would seem strange watching him do an evening set on the Other stage for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s the frontman if one of the world’s biggest bands; I can see him headlining APE or Latitude or something if he’s doing proper live sets and not DJing.

Nahhhh I can't see him going for the main stage headline slots like that unless he makes a drastic change in his solo output. It just wouldn't work. More likely he sticks to doing expensive gigs that are hard to get tickets for in smaller venues, and for Glasto it'll be a secret slot if he shows up at all. I'm up for an Eeeeeeeeeeed set on the Park tho. Edited August 5, 2018 by Mash011 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed set will be cool. Needs to get a move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wore it to Blue Dot and a couple complimented me on the shirt, not realising the significance of the "9.". You should have seen their faces when I started ripping strips off Pablo Honey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Pablo Honey > TKOL But never when it comes to a list. Otherwise it's just not funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 I've given TKOL a few plays recently, inspired by the Westworld season finale. Much better than Pablo Honey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scatteredscreens Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Scenes when Thom is still touring shows in support of TMB (as per his descriptions) 4 years on. And charges almost the same price as a RH ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry bear Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 I love the atmosphere of Little by Little and can’t really understand the lack of love for it (even from the band, given how often they play the bugger). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the annoyingly repetitive drum loop, the lack of melodic invention and inspiring structure that makes me not love it. And Thom sounds particularly whiney without being expressive. It's still better than the Magpie song, probably worse than Feral. Together, the weakest three track run since Pabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll at least agree with you over Mr Magpie & Feral. The former I was rather disappointed with as it was one of their songs that I really liked from the versions I'd heard prior to release, and was rather underwhelmed by the finished product.

kingcrawler Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 I really like TKOL, definitely top 5 for me. Other than Feral I don’t think there’s a weak song on it and even that works well in the context of the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the fundamental composition is sound, but after hearing the Blue Planet version, I don't think those drums do the song any favours at all. You would think the juxtaposition of repetitive beats over an organic backdrop would be effective and hypnotic, but it doesn't work. I would say that Bloom works the best of their problematic tracks. It's mainly the drums (and the brick wall compression) that are wrong with Bloom. The more I think about it, the more I think their digital collage recording approach on this album in the whole doesn't work. The timing of the way samples are dropped in isn't quite right. Other than Separator, of course. That's pretty much a perfect recording. The drum loop does work on that song, probably because the underlying song is pretty repetitive, so you do get that hypnotic effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
