Radiohead - good?

[Red Cat]

How was James Holden?

I didn’t see him, I’d travelled to London from Brum, so met up with a friend beforehand too.

 

[Red Cat]

I haven't listen to Moon shaped pool or any of the smile stuff yet, I've got no idea why to be honest. I'm a massive Radiohead fan.

I kind of got stuck with In Rainbows, it struck a real chord with me somewhere deep, lyrically. For me it's a break up album.

I've been revisiting some old stuff recently. There's some great tracks on the My Iron Lung EP, stuff like Trickster and Permanent Daylight. Start of the Godrich era.

In Rainbows is beautiful, it's easy to get stuck there.

 

[Hollis]

Yeah - I really enjoyed the gig. Quite intense at times.. Bloke was whining to me at the end that they weren't Radiohead..

 

[Johnny Vodka]

It's late. Suffice to say, I really enjoyed the show in Glasgow tonight. Definitely at the more experimental end of Radiohead, but no doubting the musical chops and everyone seemed to be up for it, even taking into account it being a seated show. James Holden great in support too - would be cool to see as the main course in a bit more of a state.

 

[Red Cat]

I’m going again with my daughter, some resales came up in Brum.

 

[Red Cat]

Thom Yorke spoke even less tonight than at the Hammersmith gig where he did say the odd thing I struggled to hear. Tonight, the only thing he said was at beginning of the last song when he told the people talking there was only 5 minutes left and to shut the fuck up.

Oh, he did say thank you too.

He called Liz Truss and her pals "wankers" at the Glasgow show. ("Friend of a Friend" is to do with covid dodgy deals, I think.)

Saw them again at Ally Pally tonight... not a great venue.. particularly if you're under 5' 10''.

Still, gig was great... I really like The Smile! Funky as fuck... great drummer, lots of guitars.. I don't get why there ain't more people dancing to some of their stuff.

You saw them twice too! They are great aren't they?

I just looked and there are some tickets left for Rome.....

 

[Red Cat]

Atoms for Peace passed me by but listen to this concert from 2013, it's amazing:

I was thinking about getting a ticket but the venue put me off: went to a couple of gigs there in the past and remember the acoustics as being terrible. But now regretting this decision and wished I’d gone

 

[Hollis]

I didn't notice the sound too much, but i think the worst thing is it has a flat floor... so if you're not near the front you don't see too much... and the place was rammed..

 

[Red Cat]

It was rammed in Birmingham too, but a much smaller venue. Eventually I got to see Thom through the gaps between the tall men (so annoying, they should be made to stand at the back).

While Thom and Johnny are busy with The Smile, it looks like Ed O’Brien has taken up officiating international football, as seen here on the right during the England game last night.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Was a seated gig in Glasgow, which has its disadvantages, but was good to be able to see! (Am I the only one who enjoyed James Holden? )

 

[Red Cat]

I was seated at Hammersmith, I really liked the venue, the size, and the gorgeous art deco. I also liked the intensity of a smaller standing gig.

Didn't see James Holden in either, had a prior commitment both times, and in Brum I would've struggled to stand in a crowd that long too.

 

[Red Cat]

Advantages to having been out of touch means lots of good stuff to discover.

I'm a bit addicted to this:

 

[Red Cat]

I never understood why some didn't like The King of Limbs - I think it's one of my favourite of theirs.

Have you heard this?

 

[Hollis]

No - hadn't seen before. It's excellent !

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Listening to MAH on 6 music.. another Smile album in October

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Third album out today!

 

[TopCat]

No

 

[Red Cat]

Third album out today!

I was just coming here to say that ( a day late I know)

What d'you think?

I haven't listened to it properly yet, just the once. Some are familiar from the concert(s) I think, but I don't know which ones (I am not that kind of geek), I think Instant Psalm.

 

[Winot]

Underwhelming on first listen, but one listen obviously isn't enough.

 

[Red Cat]

I skipped the first one (!) and Don't Get Me Started which I might like better in the context of the album so I'll listen again to the whole thing next time as you should. I liked it live where the spookyness works in that atmosphere, I'm not so into the music alone (hate the video, can't watch that)

 

[neonwilderness]

I’m on my second listen now and it’s growing on me. No stand out tracks yet though.

Thom flounces off stage briefly after being heckled.

For a minute there, he lost himself.

I have a feeling Radiohead aren't anti-playing Israel because of Jonny's wife. She's Israeli and a right-wing Zionist to boot.
