A podcast of a concert from September can be found here and it is stunning. npr.org/music has used to have interesting but poorly recorded live shows but lately they've upped the quality considerably. It's over 2 hours long. Go on, clicky clicky

D/ling as I type! The only (small) change I'd make is Black Swan. I've yet to hear this one live and it's a cracking good song.

Kid A will always have a special place in my heart.

Does the full band do Thom songs? I love Black Swan too, but I don't know whether they've done it live. And yes. Kid A yes yes yes.

Even though they've been consistently great for 16 years, my favorite is There There. I never thought my fave RH song would be post-2000!

They just keep being amazing, that's all! It's kinda crazy to listen to their early work in the context of their contemporaries. At the start they were just another very good British rock band. I remember thinking of them in the same category as Kitchens of Distinction, the Charlatans et al at the time. But they keep growing.

It makes me wonder what the Stone Roses could have done if they hadn't imploded, the bastards.

I still remember Thom's black and white striped shirt when they performed at that summer pool location MTV had during the summers, I can't remember what it's called. The Bends was super solid, but, OK Computer was a masterpiece and put them on the map as ranking up there with other serious bands of all time.

HTTT is alway fun to listen to during Election time. It felt so good that Brits were as pissed as we were. I will admit this, I've never been able to listen to In Rainbows all the way through. Maybe I'll appreciate it later, I just don't like either disc very much as a whole. The drum (barely) beats bug me, it's like all that other crap that came out at the same time with that shuffling or whatever soft drum beat, I just hate it.

I've spent more $ on Radiohead between merchandise and concert tickets than any other band including The Cult :D

I'm still pissed Love & Rockets didn't make more than they did.

I guess the best way to describe the drum beat I'm talking about is like in TY's Black Swan. I LOVE that song, but it's a fluke becuase that's exactly the type of thing I'm talking about in In Rainbows that bugs me.

What would you call that style?
