Cool news. LP8 hype!

does anyone know why it is that when international bands tour South America the concerts are broadcast on tv?? it doesnt happen anywhere else in the world. i always thought it had to do with the fact that alot of fans in that region of the world cant exactly afford to go see them live so they are compensated by getting to watch it live on tv.

 

was the entire Sao Paulo concert broadcast and recorded?

i've always wondered the same thing

i'm not complaining or anything, i actually think its great that those concerts are shown on tv simply because the atmosphere tends to be sooo amazing. the crowds are more passionate especially since bands only tour there maybe once every 7 or 8yrs. or in the case of radiohead after 14years.

 

i'm starting to get sick of the band constantly talking about european and american tours. they way he's talking in that interview its as if those are the only two parts of the world where people have heard of the band.

Cool news. LP8 hype!

 

Cool new sig Briggs. How to Dissappear Completely has replaced Let Down as my favorite RH song too.

Nice!

 

Yeah, its tough to chose a favourite. But that one has always been able to "move" me.

Pyramid Song is close behind.

Its probably the most emotionally impacting song for me. I first listened to Kid A during my freshman year at college, and halfway through my first semester I was relating so much to that song, because I kept on feeling physically crowded by people I was intellectually and emotionally very different from, and all I wanted to do was escape.

 

I would leave my crowded dorm room and seek refuge in the piano labs where I would again feel encroached because people were chatting loudly just outside where I was playing. A lot of it was irrational, but I became internally upset my everyone I came in contact with, or even saw. I remember wishing I could be in a field with no one for miles around.

 

So apart from being amazingly beautiful, the lyrics of that song really pull at my experiences.

you should see it live... i was just blown away. it honestly just left me full of emotion, yet numb and i couldn't move because it was so moving

I was blown away by this alone.

I'm sure if I ever truly saw it live, I would be completely overwhelmed as you described. I've never actually cried to a song, but that might just do it...

i was close to it, same with nude and videotape those songs were just so emotional

I love the Canal version with an army of Ondes.

 

But yeah, really powerful lyrics.

I think we all go through those "I'm not here, this isn't happening" moments.

Oddly enough, one of the hardest things I went through emotionally I stayed up the entire night listening to Pablo Honey haha

AHAHHAHAHAHAH love your sig Briggs! it's brilliant haha

 

 

and I love the Canal version too.

thanks for all the info re: dead space and waste i will probably be same screen name

I find most of the time that its preferable to numb your emotions than to indulge in them. For example, when the titans tragically lost to the ravens in the playoffs...

 

When something like that happens, the last thing I want to do is turn on "Fix You" or that "Bad Day" song. Custom-made 'feel-better' tracks only makes you feel all the more pathetic, and focus on what you're trying to escape. Instead I'll usually turn on something enjoyable but unrelated. Albums like "The Unforgettable Fire" are great for that. Especially "Elvis Presley & America" because its a constant stream of meaningful but unrelated thought. Somehow that song relates to my discomfort more than any 'feel-better' song could.

 

The case of "How to Disappear Completely" is sort of different though, because it was a constant, ongoing event, and not some game I could get over in a few hours. In times like that you sometimes need a kind of emotional purging.

ok... so apparently that whole 5-6 new songs and webcast was a hoax, i guess an april fools joke (it would make sense because i guess it was april 1 in UK when it was posted). There still is a small exerpt from colin in NME which is below.

 

 

it does look as though they'll be playing new songs... still exciting :dance:

oh god damn it I want new songs :bigcry:

I just watched the House of Cards video for the first time........no joke.

is there a video for house of cards?

I just watched the House of Cards video for the first time........no joke.

 

wow, really? What'd you think? They used a cool machine to make it, but other than that I find it kind of boring.

haha yes. Youtube.

Yeah, cool idea, but I probably won't watch it again.

Yeah, cool idea, but I probably won't watch it again.

haha... honestly i never got what the big thing was with music videos. i usually only watch them once or twice and that's about it

i think the making of it was more interesting than the actual video

sometimes the video ruins the song for me.

Yeah, music videos are definitely overrated. I prefer watching live videos and stuff on youtube.
