HOLY FUCKING SHIT: RADIOHEAD: IN RAINBOWS: OCTOBER 10

[Marvin]

Ooh, You and Whose Army?, great live one and I just noticed possibly lyrical on a similar subject to Up On the Ladder.

EDIT - 'I'm having a serious moment here!'

[Pseudopath]

The Thom and Jonny Comedy Show. Excellent!

[chocky909]

It certainly sounds a lot better without the dodgy Rammstein backing track!

I love the studio version of UOTL. I don't really know Rammstein's stuff very well but I'm sure you're talking cack.

[Sexton Brackets Drugbust]

Fucking Classic. "I'm having a serious moment 'ere"

[chocky909]

Everyone's going to miss the last Tube.

[Marvin]

Yay, another one that's a live classic.

Why the hell do NME.com have someone reporting from 'live inside' the gig by the text, how ridiculous.

MY FUCKING IRONG LUNG

Ahem. Sorry.

Yes. ITS ON TELLY! WE CAN SEE AND HEAR WHATS HAPPENING!

[Marvin]

Yes. ITS ON TELLY! WE CAN SEE AND HEAR WHATS HAPPENING!

It amuses me that they think people might sit online reading his 'they're playing this now' updates rather than actually watch it.

I'm suddenly really jealous of that audience, My Irong Lung is always one of the highpoints at their gigs for me.

[chocky909]

It's great to hear My Iron Lung without that trumpet effect on Jonny's guitar. Never been a fan of that.

I hope they play a cover or new song though.

[niat]

Jonny's solo went all Tom Morello at the end!

[Marvin]

Jonny's solo went all Tom Morello at the end!

He does tend to fuck about with effects etc on the solos for old songs live, it's ace.

The Bends, would not have predicted that!

[Marvin]

It's interesting how guitar-heavy their live stuff is at the moment, both new and old, Thom seems to be playing live again a lot more, him playing on National Anthem for example. I've always liked the rawness that they get when they really go for it with three guitarists though.

[Sexton Brackets Drugbust]

Exit Stage left pursued by Specials

[niat]

Specials in left ear, Radiohead in right. Weird.

[chocky909]

All done. That was The Bends again in the background.

Excellent, I didn't think it would be that good. A lot better than the Scotch Mist session which were a bit flabby I thought. Great versions of All I Need, Videotape and Reckoner. Shame nothing new but they played for ages and it sounded great. I can't wait til Victoria Park now.

[Duckula]

I would really love to see them in a venue that small. They were really alive.

[Anon]

Bloody hell, that was worth it - the versions of All I Need and Reckoner were incredible, and as for The Bends...well, who would have predicted it?  Like chocky909, I'm looking forward to Victoria Park even more now, that was a great, energetic and (mot importantly) fun performance.

[Mindbear]

I wish I'd seen your post Anon, I missed it and just watched House in a strop instead of watching a special gig. Bums.

And yes, i'm using a stupid lovely mac.

The whole set on Youtube if that helps:

[Eight Taiwanese Teenagers]

I went past at about 6:30. The place was swarming with indiekids. Even more than usual!

I went for a curry*. It was superb, but there was no webcast.




* Not on Brick Lane. At a place called Tayyabs in Whitechapel which was superb, even though the queue was stupidly long.

[Vitalstatistix]

Anyone listening to Radio 1? The guys have taken over Zane Lowe's show this week. Playing some fab stuff. Some real good laid-back banter aswell. Thom certainly seems to have mellowed a bit the past few years.

[Beep Cleep Chimney]

Yeah, this is very enjoyable stuff.  Shame that Annie Mac has to be there with them, though.  Couldn't believe my ears when it became clear she'd never heard of XTC after they'd played "Sgt. Rock".

"So that's New Wave then, yeah? XTC?  Are they British?"

What is she, 18?  Be away with yer.

[Vitalstatistix]

Eh she's alright. I like her voice and she has an endearing laugh. She's tonnes better than all the other twats who work at Radio 1.

[Cack Hen]

I saw this kid on the telly the other week, who astonishingly is a radio one DJ. I can't remember what he said exactly, but he basically implied to some shitty band that it's OK to be a bit different, because even Björk hasn't been that successful.

Do they just let anyone DJ there now then.

[chocky909]

36 seconds in: "Holy Shitsauce! Hey everybody, looks like we got ourselves a crimp-off" I didn't know [banned troll] was a Radiohead fan.

[Beep Cleep Chimney]

Eh she's alright. I like her voice and she has an endearing laugh. She's tonnes better than all the other twats who work at Radio 1.

Oh yeah, she's got a sexy voice and that and, agreed, she's better than yer Daytime R1 goons.  (Although that's empty praise if ever I heard it). I just found it a bit surprising that a cool "alternative" DJ like her didn't appear to have come across XTC before.  P'raps it's just me being all old and everything.

Anyway, who cares? This show's ace.

[Vitalstatistix]

Really enjoyed that Kings of Leon track they played, "Charmer". Apparently, Ed's a big fan. I always assumed they were kinda wank (due to their popularity in the UK) but I would highly recommend their latest album 'Because of the Times', which I aquired since the 'head radio show. It's really very good, like a blues band doing Pixies covers.

[aaaaaaaaaargh!]

never mind!

[sick as a pike]

Ah, I'd forgotten about this.  I was in 93 Feet East having a quiet drink, and when we left there were suddenly hundreds of eager young types fighting to get in as we were fighting to get out.
I doubt they'd have let us stay in there anyway.  Still, an odd experience.

[weekender]

On Jools Holland in about half an hour or so, apparently.

I'm not sure this album has been promoted enough, it's good to see it getting some wider exposure.
