I completely agree.

 

 

 

The first album I "got" was In Rainbows, I hadn't heard any of their songs so I downloaded it free. I didn't really like it much but I wanted so desperately to be a fan that I pretended I liked them all and said so just to try to convince myself. Then I got The Bends and after falling in love I listened again to In Rainbows and suddenly I actually liked it.

 

 

at least you're being honest about being a poseur Radiohead fan at first.

Hey Nina, ella, briggs, everyone! Are we still having a rh party on friday or have we changed of plans? :wacky:

 

 

Btw, i'm addicted to ammesiac now :wacko:

 

I'm still down for that. How does it work with the time differences?

i'm finding more and more that this section of CPing, World of Music is becoming a place for former CP fans to "cool off" as they lose interest in the band they once loved. most of us who do post here regularly i'm sure joined this thread as a hardcore crazy CP fan but as the years have drawn on and the bands worldwide popularity reached enormous heights we have started to find them a little less interesting and exciting. i'm writing this mostly from personal experience but also from alot of friends i've made from World of Music who like me joined CPing as huge fans of the boys but are now more interested in other acts. now i'm not implying that CP are a crap band, i still have alot of respect for them (otherwise i would not of paid $120 to go see them) but i think, i like alot of you have discovered a "world of music" outside of coldplay. which is just as good if not better at times.

 

 

Well put Jamie. I mean like you I paid around $150 to see them. And it was a blast. They're fun to watch. And they're fun to listen to every once in a while. Doesn't mean I hate them or anything, just my musical horizons have broadened a little bit. I think its healthy for people to listen to more than just one genre or a few select bands.

yep. I wanted so hard to like them that I lied about it. then shortly after, I became a real fan and have been so ever since.

Haha its funny when you force yourself to like something....then end up legitimately liking it.

just watched the grammy performance again, after a week without seeing/hearing it... great performance. i think my favorite part might be how thom says "fads for whatever"... so good!

his dancing was the best

I like the kids "ya!" the best.

And also love the ectetera part. Which my siggy shows.

Hmm! i loved the way he changed it round a bit, kept repeating etcetera for longer than usual.

 

strange performance....so unlike them in some ways, i cant quite put my finger on it, but in others it was just purely them, with trying a different angle, thom going into his weird, posessed performing mode. i'm not precious at all about them performing at the grammys either, its great for them, they should take these opportunities when it suits them, they have earned this worldwide reputation, they should show off with it sometimes, like that. something a bit eccentric from what everyone else is doing.

what time was that??

Thanks for the intelligent responses, guys. If I had posted this on a Radiohead forum, I feel that it's likely that I would have been bashed a lot by now. :uhoh2: I probably should try listening to Kid A all the way through without distractions when I get the chance.

 

 

listen to/watch the live recordings of the Kid A/Amnesiac songs

 

 

been watching this today :) I love this gig (didn't need to say that, really :p)

I love the ectetera part. Also when Thom holds the last note (when he says "string") in such an epic way. The marching band doing the "yeah!" sound was awesome too. I know a lot of people didn't like it, but I personally think the whole performance was epic.

Whoa, I didn't know people could put such big, long, high quality vids on YouTube. :stunned: I'll check that out.

Radiohead have given clearance for their track “MK 1” to be used in a advert for US charity The National Coalition for the Homeless free of charge.

 

Despite the band’s well-known adversity to the licensing of their songs for adverts, they allowed the charity to use the track in its new advertising campaign as they felt it was for a noble cause.

^ Best Radiohead song ever!

We were having a party? haha

Yup, not really sure about what time though :P

 

what time was that??

 

No idea, but i'm still having a rh party on my own if i can't find any radioheader that day haha :wacko:

Well, I'd love to have it but my cousin's celebrating her birthday tomorrow so I won't be home. Maybe next weekend?

yeah but it might be in a different time zone! you might get to do it in the middle of the night, who knows :P

Do any of you guys post on a Radiohead message board... Like, say, At Ease?

I do sometimes post on Atease but really really rarely I'm Napalm there. I have a lot of fun there sometimes, though reading the crazy threads in the classics section, though :p

I'm an ateaser but i hardly ever post, just leech from the media section and request a few rarities from time to time :P

Oh and i love reading their wacky threads when i'm bored, that's the best haha

You're very gifted at using the "wacko" smiley.

I have quite a few good laughs in the classics section. I think they're all a bit more severe over there. In their humor and in their attitudes. Though that can be a double edged sword. They get nasty. Since I'm a transplant from here, I expect everybody to be nice... Not so :D

You're very gifted at using the "wacko" smiley.

Thanks? haha.

But shit, that message board is SO much nicer to look at. I feel like I'm in a dungeon over here.

Thanks? haha.

 

well because I've seen you use it a LOT. And it's a weird little smiley. and, well, nobody else uses it.
