mimesereRadiohead's new album In Rainbows comes out on October 10th. What makes this a big deal is twofold:
1) Radiohead is not on a label. They're releasing this album on their own as a digital download on their website.
2) The price? It's up to you. No really. It's up to you.
Why this is something to be watched:
A Record Price for a Radiohead Album: $0 - Los Angeles Times
Pay What You Want - Time Magazine
Radiohead bends Record Industry Over Conference Table and Goes To Town - Best Week Ever
So, anyway, in honor of this and because Radiohead is one of my all time favorite bands, I give you a musicspam. All songs are hosted on my webspace, so right-click save. Comments are awesome, especially because I love a) talking about music, b) talking about Radiohead, and c) talking about how much of an impact this is going to have on an already struggling industry that's based itself on an increasingly obsolete business model and which is being shaken up left and right by the new media.
To sum up:
1) Radiohead is awesome.
2) The new album comes out on 10/10/07.
3) The band is letting you decide how much you think their music is worth.
pablo honey
Produced by Paul Q. Kolderie, Chris Hufford, Sean Slade - 1993 - It's kind of insane to me that this album (Radiohead's debut album) is over 14 years old. INSANE. I suddenly feel very old. Anyway. It's the most traditionally alternative rock of their albums in both uh, the fact that it is lyrically understandable and very sort of, well, alternative rock of the 90s. This stops being true after this album, even though their next album isn't too far along the Pretentious British Art Rock path that Radiohead decided to follow. Oh Thom Yorke, you magnificent weirdo. I heart you so much.
creep
you're so fucking special
Just because Radiohead hates it doesn't mean it's not a good song.
stop whispering
I can't find the words and I can't find the songs
Radiohead's tribute to the Pixies.
ripcord
you're free until you've had enough
It sounds so happy! And yet it is not happy. Oh Radiohead.
blow out
everything I touch turns to stone
Enjoy it. This is the last time Radiohead makes any kind of sense.
the bends
Produced by John Leckie, Radiohead, Jim Warren, Nigel Godrich - 1995 - No sophomore slump for Radiohead. This album was better received critically than Pablo Honey, though it didn't (as far as I know) yield a single as popular as "Creep". The Bends, plus their follow up in OK Computer, cemented Radiohead in its position as one of the more daring rock bands making popular music. Keep this in mind, it becomes important later.
the bends
I wish it was the sixties, I wish I could be happy
Radiohead is a band with three guitarists, a bassist, and a drummer. This is one of the times where it sounds like they're a band with three guitarists.
fake plastic trees
a green plastic watering can for a fake chinese rubber plant in the fake plastic earth
A cigarette lighter song. Um, if you don't know? I really like cigarette lighter songs. Missi says: "never gets old. the bends was the last great total album radiohead ever made, and this is one very good reason. begins the fuller exploration of thom yorke's interest in voice as instrument. she looks like the real thing. she tastes like the real thing, my fake plastic love."
just
you do it to yourself, you do, and that's what really hurts
Listen for the lead guitar. Jonny Greenwood is fantastically inventive.
my iron lung
this is our new song, just like the last one, a total waste of time
Man, if you thought I was kidding when I said Radiohead hated "Creep," listen to this song. Which is about "Creep" and how much they hate it.
street spirit (fade out)
this machine will not communicate these thoughts and the strain I am under
MY FAVORITE SONG OMG. The guitar work (this time it's Ed, I think) is precise and wonderful, Thom is at his plaintive best, the entrance of the drums on the second verse add this awesome tension, and I love how with every verse chorus verse the music gets more layered and complex, all with the guitar work holding it together.
ok computer
Produced by Radiohead and Nigel Godrich - 1997 - AHAHAHAHA OK Computer. I love this album so much, you guys. It's where Radiohead took that left turn into Weird Ass Art Rock and pretty much abandoned making any kind of logical sense, while still doing weird intellectual arty things that make more sense in your gut than in your head. I also very distinctly remember talking about this album in class my first year at NYU, where some Tisch Film Boy was going on and on about how this is fantastic concept album (fantastic, yes. concept album...iffy. It's about as much a concept album as, say, a Muse album, which tend to be thematic without necessarily being a concept album. MCR's The Black Parade is a concept album. Green Day's American Idiot is a concept album. OK Computer is not. But it is fantastic nonetheless. Also, creepy as hell.) and blah blah blah. It's awesome. I love it. Radiohead is made up of crazypeople and I love them all for it.
paranoid android
when I am king, you will be first against the wall
Radiohead made good use of AppleSpeak on this album. the other thing to kind of keep in mind about this song is that it's three different songs kind of smooshed together to make one kind of odd song with movements. Really fantastic use of the multiple guitars and a great bass riff.
exit music (for a film)
we hope your rules and wisdom choke you
You know that scene in the Baz Luhrmann R+J, where Claire Danes' Juliet is looking up at the camera right before she shoots herself? That's what this song is about. No, really.
karma police
karma police, arrest this man, he talks in maths
This is one of my favorite Radiohead songs, one of my favorite rock songs, one of my favorite *songs* period. At no point, ever, should the R in karma be pronounced. Brendon Urie, for the crime you committed against music when you covered this song, I award you no points and may god have mercy on your soul. Ryan Ross, I'm none too happy with you either.
fitter happier
favors for favors fond but not in love
This whole song is made of creepy wrongness. If I could figure out how to vid it well, I would. I think this was the beginning of Radiohead forsaking instruments for a while.
climbing up the walls
it's always best when the light is off
this song would be sex if it weren't SCARY AS FUCK.
lucky
I'm your superhero, we are standing on the edge
It's a happy song! I swear! I mean. For Radiohead.
kid a
Produced by Radiohead and Nigel Godrich - 2000 - Kid A (and 2001'S Amnesiac) are the inheritors of OK Computer. And boy howdy are they odd. I was actually talking with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thelionforreal about this album and Amnesiac last night and we were talking about how these two albums are an interesting experiment in de-emphasizing Thom Yorke as vocalist and emphasizing the band and Thom Yorke's voice as instrument. It's weird and it's offputting and it's pretentious like burning and it's often really creepy and unnerving. I think it's largely brilliant and really cerebral and really...I don't want to call it cold? Because I don't think it's a cold album. But it's a thought experiment more than it is an album and it doesn't make any kind of sense -- no, really, it doesn't. I'm putting up the tracks that make the most sense -- except intuitively. But it's an album that lives in the head more than it lives anywhere else. Which, btw, is not me saying I don't like it. I love this album, but it's unsettling and weird and not easy to listen to.
everything in its right place
there are two colours in my head
So, I'm just gonna put this out there: pretty much every song on Kid A is unsettling. This one makes really good use of Thom Yorke's voice as an instrument, as it gets looped, chopped up, and manipulated until he pretty much is the entirety of the instrumentation other than the weird electronic organ and electronic drum beats.
how to disappear completely
I'm not here, this isn't happening
I love the way this song is constructed. The blend between the vocal line, the strings, and the electronic backing is amazing. No one part of it stands out and the whole of it pulls you in and floats you along and makes sure you don't notice any one instrument more than the others. It's just absolutely fantastic work on every level. Missi says: "every time i hear this song, i direct a music video in my head. it always takes my surroundings into account but usually involves me walking through walls and very possibly being invisible and looking in on situations that may or may not involve me but i'm not part of them. this is one of my favorite three radiohead songs."
optimistic
nervous messed up marionettes floating around on a prison ship
The driving rhythm on this is maybe my favorite thing about this whole album. Again, *great* use of the multiple guitars.
idioteque
ice age coming
First of all, I love the pun that is the title. Second of all, this song, like "Optimistic" is all about the rhythm. It's contrapuntal and insane and weird and so so so awesome. I think this is one of the best songs Radiohead has ever done and definitely the best song on Kid A in terms of achieving their artistic vision. Man, I wish I was using artistic vision with any kind of irony, but I'm not.
morning bell
cut the kids in half
Um. It's about a divorce? Or community property? Or about the incredible fucked uppedness of being.
amnesiac
Produced by Radiohead and Nigel Godrich - 2001 - The songs on Amnesiac are a little more rocking than the ones on Kid A, which isn't saying a lot since I'm not entirely certain that the people in the band picked up an instrument for any part of Kid A. Anyway. Amnesiac was recorded at the same time as Kid A and Thom Yorke (WEIRDO) says of the two albums: "If you look at the artwork for Kid A...well, that's like looking at the fire from afar. Amnesiac is the sound of what it feels like to be standing IN the fire." Take that as you will.
packt like sardines in a crushd tin box
I'm a reasonable man get off get off get off my case
RHYTHM. That weird, almost sub-aural thing that's part of the rhythm. I really like the rhythm stuff on this song! I'm sure it is hard to tell with how I am so circumspect about it. The kettle (drum?) and all the background talking stuff are awesome, awesome touches.
pyramid song
a moon full of stars and astral cars
I defy you to figure out the time signature on this bad boy. It's a lot like "How to Disappear Completely" in the way that it sort of carries you along with it and layers the strings on in a way that blends seamlessly with the vocals, until it's kind of hard to pull them apart. Phil's drumming is great great stuff.
i might be wrong
I could have sworn I saw a light coming home
My second favorite Radiohead song. Wonderful riff-work on guitar and bass, great drumming, excellent use of the electronics, really well constructed soundscape, and a fantastic driving rhythm. I think this is absolutely one of the sexiest songs Radiohead has ever put out.
hunting bears
instrumental
I just really like this song a lot. I love the distorted guitar.
life in a glass house
don't talk politics and don't throw stones
It's a jazzy apocalypse! The slow kind of depressingly mundane apocalypse. It's atonal and weird. Features Humphrey Lyttleton on trumpet.
hail to the thief
Produced by Radiohead and Nigel Godrich - 2003 - If you follow the trajectory of Radiohead as a band, they start out rock (Pablo), get artier and more electronic (The Bends, OK Computer), hit avant garde electronica (Kid A), and then they started meandering back rock-wards (Amnesiac). Hail to the Thief is more in the nature of Amnesiac and The Bends, in that it's way way more rocking than electronic, but it's still got that whole flirting with sticking a fork in the toaster electronica thing that characterized OK Computer and Kid A.
2+2=5 (the lukewarm)
go and tell the king that the sky is falling in
It's in 7/4, you guys. How awesome is that? Well, the beginning is. Again, great rhythm and guitar. It starts rocking out like crazy at 1:53 and there's a great guitar section at 2:25.
go to sleep (little man being erased)
we don't wanna wake monster taking over
5/4 time, again with the great rhythm work. Jonny does some crazy stuff during his solo.
the gloaming (softly open our mouths in the cold)
we are not the same as you
I'm totally fascinated by how Radiohead uses noise in this song. Not music, but noises - static, clicks, pops, beeps, etc. The construction of music out of noise is one of things I appreciate most about the Kid A-Amnesiac-Hail to the Thief era of Radiohead.
there there (the boney king of nowhere)
there's always a siren singing you to shipwreck
La la la la rhythm. Apparently, in concert, 3 of the 5 members of the band are on drums for the opening part of this song (the two not on: Thom and Colin).
a punchup at a wedding (no no no no no no no no)
the pot will call the kettle black in a drunken punchup at a wedding
I love love love the intro and how mellowly funky it is and how that carries through the rest of the song. Whatever else is true about Radiohead songs, they are *amazingly* well constructed.
a wolf at the door (it girl. rag doll.)
the flan in the face dance you fucker dance you fucker
It's a song whose violent climax involves a custard to the face. What's more impressive is how the custard to the face actually sounds dangerous. Also, I'm pretty sure this song is in 3/4.
b-sides and covers
inside my head (creep)
now you tie me up to your feather bed and I twist and turn
This feels very much like a throwback to an earlier era of music. I think I've developed a massive crush on Phil (the drummer) because of this musicspam. It's also got a great guitar solo.
the trickster (my iron lung - ep)
I wanted you so bad that I could say all these things fall apart
I love the guitar work on this song so much.
talk show host (william shakespeare's romeo + juliet/street spirit)
you want me, fucking come on and break the door down. i'm ready.
My third favorite Radiohead song. Very much in the same style as Portishead.
true love waits (i might be wrong - live)
your tiny hands your crazy kitten smile
...it's very sweet!
Wish You were Here
did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Thom Yorke collaborated with Sparklehorse to do this wonderful cover of Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here." It's fantastically awesome. Thom sang his part over the phone. Oh Thom.
1) Radiohead is not on a label. They're releasing this album on their own as a digital download on their website.
2) The price? It's up to you. No really. It's up to you.

Also, I think I have pretty much every song by Radiohead that's been officially released. So, if you have any that you're looking for, just let me know and I'll see if I have it.
