anyone that wants to start on radiohead should listen to 'the bends' first....i think anyway :lol:

Hmmm... where to start... where to start...

 

Try Let Down off OK Computer.

I wanted to order the calender too! But i dont have a creditcard! And my parents dont want to pay with the internet *aaaargh!* :(

Yeah, listen to The Bends and OK Computer first. OK Computer is a terrific disc, every song on it is great, esp. No Surprises, my favourite of them.

So what is this about Thom Yorke - Spitting Feathers???

 

I see it on the list of albums coming out this month

 

'As reported earlier, Thom Yorke will release the b-sides from The Eraser singles in a special release for the Japanse market, entitled 'Spitting Feathers'

 

The subtitle of the EP '3 b-sides and 2 videos' has been removed. The Analyse video was dropped and therefore not on the EP. 'Spitting Feathers' will be available in the rest of the world online. The cd will be out on November 22nd and you can pre-order at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk.

 

Here's the full tracklisting for Spitting Feathers again:

 

1. The Drunk Machine

2. A Rat's Nest

3. Jetstream

4. Harrowdown Hill [Extended Mix]

5. Iluvya

6. Harrowdown Hill

The Japanese... They always have bonus stuff on the discs, or even extra-Japan entire discs ! i think I'm jealous.

Actually, it's because of a common fact in Japanese consumer society : most of Japanese buyers are fond of "Collector's" stuff : so if you put something telling "Japan Only" on a record, you increase badly your chances to sell it, even to people who already got every song on the CD.

 

That's why Pablo Honey has three Japan Only bonus tracks, The Bends two, and you can find EPs that were only released in Japan, such as Itch or Running From Demons.

we had a good week in the studio last week. finally things are growing.

very minimal

I wanted to order the calender too! But i dont have a creditcard! And my parents dont want to pay with the internet *aaaargh!* :(

poow Lina:cry:

Radiohead Gets a Cuban-Style Makeover

 

The idea behind Rhythms Del Mundo: Cuba is high-concept simplicity: Alt-rock meets the Buena Vista Social Club. Assorted '80s and ‘90s rock songs and pop standards are remade within a Cuban aesthetic, though some songs are more like remixes -- think Arctic Monkeys' vigorous "Dancing Shoes," done up with a descarga groove. Others are complete makeovers, such as the late legend Ibrahim Ferrer covering "As Time Goes By" in a classical son ballad style.

 

Given the conceit, it's not surprising when the album leans toward artifice -- imagine Coldplay's "Clocks," but with Chris Martin's plaintive melody replaced by an upbeat but poorly fit muntono piano riff. However, at the other end of the spectrum is the album's best song, El Lele de Los Van Van's re-imagining of "High and Dry," Radiohead's hit song from The Bends.

 

It helps that the Radiohead original is a brilliant pop ballad to begin with, but the song also boasts a sparse arrangement that can be easily tinkered with without the result sounding forced or gimmicky. The Cuban remake remains tastefully minimalist, with a slowly paced Afro-Latin rhythm, a soft trumpet chorus and an acoustic piano, which replaces the guitar on the original. In contrast to the fragile falsetto that Thom Yorke brought to bear, El Lele approaches the vocals with a rich, throaty tenor, as sweet and dark as caramel. Though the vocal arrangement hews closely to Yorke's, El Lele's performance sounds so captivating on its own that until he reaches the distinctive climb of the chorus, it's easy to forget this is a cover. Beautifully serene and affecting, El Lele de Los Van Van's take on "High and Dry" achieves the best intentions behind the compilation: to create songs that sound both familiar and unique.
