codex they've written before and better

Funnily enough I personally rank Codex as one of the best tracks they've ever done. The first time I heard it I was completely blown away emotionally ....

I've listened to this a few times now and Separator is really unremarkable until the last minute. That "wake me up, wake me up" refrain slays me. Not the words but the melodic content. Give up the ghost is lovely too. Really don't care for lotus flower much at all though.

wut the feck? newspaper album? wut are they thinking? did it come out with the daily mail on sunday, or wut?

what you on about?

"guitar is dead, IDM is "it"' sounds like words you've just put into the mouths for the sake of your post. kid a has guitars. ok computer has synth. :F

anyway. i'm just starting to fall in love with Atoms for Peace again (thom's live band playing The Eraser on tour). really wish some of this stuff was properly released.

that's great sirch.

why don't you let radiohead carry on being radiohead, and you can carry on being sirch.

they're not the saviours of music, they're just a really good band.

hey i know!

but Kid A was wack. that's my opinion.

why don't you let that be and carry on with Minecraft!??

there's no problem here, besides other people's dissatisfaction with my opinions.

lol@thom yorke dancing

lol@sirch being sirch

lol@anyone claiming an instrument is dead

the album is pretty nice :sup:

must you bring minecraft into everything?

"guitar is dead"?

edit to add quotes to ridiculous assertion - guitar isn't going anywhere.

i'm presently listening to led zeppelin I and that shit sounds as fresh as the day it was released (not that it has anything to do with radiohead really, bar the fact that both feature guitar. it's a really versatile instrument, which is easily learned, but hard to master.)

come out of the fog.

also, lol @ thom dancing.

i'm kinda gay for thom.

kaini, i'm dishing you out some respect.. i'm assuming you heard the radiohead interviews on BBC Radio.. circa 2000/2001.. where Thom Yorke himself said that guitar music was dead... or have i got you wrong?

'anyone who's anyone' would remember that! ;) (serious)

hey! Guitars are still cool! Right?

you have actually listened to the album tho, right? :)

[youtubehd]9eLqZ8b6TjU[/youtubehd]

thom says a lot of things, he's a rather off-the-cuff, spur-of-the-moment sort of fella.

radiohead also released a track called 'pop is dead' and another one called 'anyone can play guitar' in the early nineties - both associated with their incredibly fucking shit debut album. i'm as sure they would like to forget pablo honey as i'm sure thom would like to forget his statements in interviews around the turn of the century. anyone who's seen the grant gee documentary 'meeting people is easy' which concerned that era of the band and the OK computer tour would remember that! ;) (serious)

god i sure am glad this isn't a pissing contest! lol!

sirch, is this what you're on about?

lol, yes mate, but according to THOM YORKE, OK!? and NOT ME! guitar is dead. he said it. not me. but i do agree with him. guitars are shit!!

Ed: "Right, Jonny

 

Jonny: "Oh

 

Ed: "There doesn't seem to be much guitars on the album, do you think guitar rock is dead? Can you think of any examples of people who might be able to bring it back to life? Roddy Murray from Brighton. Come on, rock god

 

Jonny: "Er.....ah, squirm......er, you know....er, I'm squirming instead of answering..erm...I don't...(sighs) It's such a....I mean it's such a traditional and established thing to do, and an instrument to play, it's like, you know, it's too old fashioned, you know, it's too....it's like people saying you know you're going to revolutionise anything, piano playing or morris dancing whatever, it's not.......it's not exciting for those reasons, for the image of playing guitar, that's not what's exciting

 

Steve: "Do you think it changes with different generations though?

 

Jonny: "Yeah

 

Steve: "You know, maybe one of the reasons we ask this question is that we've been stuck in this sort of retro chic for a while...

 

Jonny: "Yeah

 

Steve: "And that we're always looking backwards now, that somebody who can......you know, who has just picked up a guitar and learned it, it's still the most exciting thing

 

Ed: "Yeah, and they say that every eight years you always have this thing that guitar is dead, and it was... I remember the same thing in like about 1980-81, people with, you know, all these synthesisers, sounding great, people said the same thing, it was dead, and it's you know....I mean, we're old bastards, you know. Some sixteen year old who's maybe been into just DJ-ing and decks and stuff like might pick up a guitar and it be, you know, the thing that they look great in the bedroom mirror with it you know, and all that stuff

 

Thom: "The point about originally picking up an electric guitar is that you can get a really great sound out of it fairly quickly. The point being now of course that there's lots of other instruments that you can buy for the same price that are purely electronic but make just as good sounds....

cuz it sounds like they pretty much got asked "is guitar dead?" and said "uhhhhhhhhh"
