^ that's cute, someone needs to put that in their siggy

Better not tell him that to his face. Or else he'll sick his goddesses on you. :whip:

^ Well, I think some of the early work of both bands are comparable. After that, it seems they went in different directions in how they sound, and their approach to making music. I'm not sure more "optimistic" is the best word when comparing Coldplay versus Radiohead, but I understand what you are referring to.

इति सिद्धम् Huh what? But those are two opposed ideas. Or are you saying that me saying that was simpleton intelligence is incorrect. I'm contused.

Sorry, I misspoke, it wasn't Ed. ---------- Stanley Donwood reveals why Radiohead's art is fit to print Radiohead's 'sixth member', the artist Stanley Donwood, wants to revive newsprint as an artform. He tells Jon Severs why Monday, 21 February 2011 Stanley Donwood admits that his short attention span means he constantly does things in new ways. But you might expect that from an artist so closely associated with the world's strangest, big rock band: Radiohead. Since 1996's The Bends, Donwood has produced all of the band's artwork and, just as Thom Yorke and Co push the boundaries musically, so does Donwood in the methods and materials he uses in his art. Proof comes in his new show, Work On Paper, which started last week in London. It features screen prints of his Twisted Woods series and giclée (ink-jet) prints of a selection of art produced for Radiohead and Thom Yorke's The Eraser. Even in this snapshot, the variety is striking. Over the weekend the band's new album, The King of Limbs, was made available for download and, naturally, Donwood has a surprise in store for the packaging of the physical release in May. It will be, according to the band, the "First (probably) newspaper album", which will incorporate "many large sheets of newspaper artwork, 625 tiny pieces of artwork and a full-colour piece of oxo-degradable plastic to hold it together." Though it is a "new" development for music, the newspaper format is not a new direction for Donwood – papers are a constant of his career. His fascination with the medium began when he worked as a paper boy and found direction later in producing jokey newspapers for festivals. From 2006, he found a more focused role for the format, using it to promote and explain his work. For example, for a 2010 San Francisco show he produced a special issue of his newspaper, Over Normal. "I love the tactile nature of the newsprint," says Donwood. "I love the history of Fleet Street (which featured in The Eraser's art), the revolution that was moving type and how it meant that, for the first time, people were able to educate and inform themselves in an accessible way." In his commitment to the format, of which the new Radiohead LP is the latest manifestation, Donwood is part of a growing movement of boutique news-printing – small-run, micro-focused newspaper publications. The popularity is such that The Newspaper Club prints news for anything from school papers and wedding souvenirs to corporate clients such as Liberty and Wired. Also printing are artists capitalising on the romance of newsprint, and the author Dave Eggers, who started his own bespoke San Francisco Panorama – a 320-page broadsheet featuring art and writing from the likes of Michael Chabon. People harking back to newsprint in a digital age does not surprise Donwood. For him, papers are archives in a way websites cannot be. "A newspaper is a snapshot; a physical record of how things are. If you turned the electricity off, digital records would all disappear, but newspapers have the physical reality, the longevity, and that's brilliant." http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/stanley-donwood-reveals-why-radioheads-art-is-fit-to-print-2220592.html

I want to go to work so I can make $ vs. I don't want to go to work so I can go fly a kite Sorry but I don't think that's "first-rate intelligence". More like simpleton intelligence.

^ :lol:

WIKIPEDIA: Martin's primary influence is the British rock band Radiohead. In a 2008 Rolling Stone interview Martin stated: "Sometimes I feel like they [Radiohead] cleared a path with a machete, and we came afterward and put up a strip mall. I would still give my left [testicle] to write anything as good as OK Computer."

HE MUST DANCE LIKE THIS, I WILL SETTLE FOR NOTHING LESS [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKlxjbhB9HE]YouTube - Famous Carlton Dance (a compilation)[/ame]

It's cute but it's too short. He'd be done with it before his gag reflex kicked in.

I bet he's regretting going to that school now. He knew the rules, he broke them, and the school is sticking to their policy.

Oh congrats Briggs! Yes people, keep voting though so he can win it all! Okay, so how will this work in terms of what song he will cover?

wtf is "first-rate" intelligence

I want more interesting headlines / updates on the site. :dozey: Like...

I thought they did... wasn't Ed talking about it?

Ha ha, minor detail. :lol:

The albums aren't of course, but my understanding is that everything else that comes with it is in newspaper format.
