According to Google:

Thom Yorke - 1.66 m
Colin Greenwood -1.74 m

You can prove anything with facts.

Of the many things that bugs me about that list is that there seems to be no effort whatsoever in ranking outside of the top ten. It seems like the person compiling has started writing the list, realised that he hadn't named anything from The Bends in a while, so puts down two Bends songs in a row. Then does the same thing shortly after for Amnesiac. Then HTTT. Then AMSP. Repeat. 

That said, putting HTDC in at 26 clearly makes him an idiot. So there is no merit in this list anyway. 

Yep I noticed a few instances of just lumping a few tracks from each album together so that he could write a little bit about said album below. Terrible list, poorly executed.

 

On a more positive note, happy 20th birthday Kid A!

I saw these lads in the tent on Glasgow Green a couple of days before Kid A was released. Odd gig, with a sour, non-joyous vibe.

I recently re-watched You Were Never Really Here for the first time since it was released. The film is brilliant, and Jonny's score.. wow. Stunning. That and There Will Be Blood make quite the pair of film scores!

It's a nuanced piece, by a Yale professor (and a Black woman) at that, but done a complete disservice by that title. A total clanger.

They need to pull and apologise for that. It's just eviscerated her work and made a spectacle out of the the whole thing.

Well the actual paper version was even worse.

Some of the covers linked to are excellent.

I'd not seen the Prince doing Creep @ coachella before. Holy hell

The song they sadly didn't play in 2017.

Painful to read that, not to get political in this thread but unbelievable this is where we are

I agree with all the points he makes, but this is the reality that a majority of people in this country voted for. This is exactly what Brexit promised us, more isolationism, harder borders, reduced movement of people. I know it's easy to blame the government for not doing enough, but I think the truth is they have done exactly what they said they would, exactly what a majority voted for.

It is shit. I know.

it just means that next time The Who are booked to play a gig in France, Daltrey will realize all the issues involved with getting there and how much the cellist costs to take over and they'll just have to cancel and headline Glastonbury again on that date 

[sirjonnyp]

I'm becoming mildly obsessed with this video. Peter Fucking Frampton. There are so many things going on in the video. I think he's in on how much of a joke the video is, but I don't know. It's presented completely straight and there's even a 'story concepts' credit at the end.

Just guaranteed a lifelong hatred of Radiohead by forcing my seven year old daughter to listen to the dual lead vocal in Let Down.

"I don't like this Daddy, it's boring music."

Do they still have orphanages in the UK?

In her defence she said that at 2 in the morning after Stu had played her the song for the 20th time straight while screaming "what do you mean you can't hear the harmonics?!"

It's not as bad as when she walked in on me watching Ed O'Brien his bits on his own on That Pedal Show, without any context of a song. It was basically the shittest thing she'd ever heard.

Just had that email too. Hilarious stuff 😂

Looks like the jigsaw is falling into place

My overriding memory of Radiohead's 2017 set was leaving the Pyramid pit about 20 minutes in after deciding it wasn't that great, and being confronted by an ardent fan who took exception to me apologising for getting in the way. "YOU'RE NOT SORRY THOUGH, ARE YOU?!" he yelled. "YOU DON'T GIVE A SHIT!!". It reminded me what absolute cocks Radiohead fans can be.

I'm a cock for the opposite reason. I'd much prefer anyone who wanted to leave to have not turned up in the first place.

My ideal would have been like LCD in 2016, a tiny crowd having the absolute best time ever, with the rest of the field empty.

Hard pass on the jigsaw then?
