Add Björk to the list of 'musicians I would have crushed on if I'd been around ~25-30 years ago'. The two songs I've heard off this bang.

Nah mate, that post was in the morning.

I'm at school atm, but when I get home I'll probably listen to some Broadcast. Anyone know what album I should start with?

Underrated Weezer album. A lot of decent catchy songs.
Space Rock is a pretty rocking tune.

But yea, nothing better from them ever since.

Take your terrible opinions and throw them away. Some of the stuff on there ranks up there with the best.

The comp ''Work and Non Work'' is a good start with all the early singles on one album. After that, I'd start with ''The Noise Made By People'' and listen to all the rest. They never made a bad record, so you're in safe hands.

FRESHLY WRAPPED CANDIES
I Like You (T.E.C. Tones/Ralph) 1989
Mental health professionals know that it's healthy to let the child inside you come out and play every now and then. California's Freshly Wrapped Candies do it in the recording studio. Most of I Like You sounds either like a polite juvenile version of the Butthole Surfers or kindergarten teachers on acid; even when the musical style is avant-rock vignettes, it gets topped with nonsense lyrics sung in goofball voices. Most of the songs (ranging from just over ten seconds to almost ten minutes) feature only guitars and vocals, but others actually get their titles from their instrumentation, like "Flute(s)" and "Majestic Popular Keyboarding." (Unfortunately, "Voltage Regulator" doesn't fit into that category.) On the down side, several tracks annoyingly emulate a Walkman with dying batteries. Freshly Wrapped Candies' collective elevator might not make it all the way to the top floor, but they do provide goofy, mildly irritating fun in a nicely art-damaged kind of way. But don't play it for your therapist. - David Sheridan

I'm going to argue that there's no such thing as a bad Radiohead album.

Nah, I will fight you here.

Yes, 'Burn the Witch' is spectacular, as is 'True Love Waits' (if inferior to the 2001 version). I've also got quite the fond spot for 'Present Tense'.

The problem I have is that the rest of it is effectively background music. I am being fully serious here, I've largely tuned out a lot of it and can tell you barely anything about most of the songs. 'Daydreaming' especially irks me, because it's as long as 'Paranoid Android' but nowhere near as interesting.

I have been listening to plenty of old bootlegs lately, and I've realised I was wrong on Pablo. It's not a complete trashfire, it's got a few excellent tracks along with plenty forgettable ones. Like AMSP.

Basically you've got your Holy Trinity (Bends, OKC, Kid A), which are beyond amazing. Then, in whatever order you prefer, Amnesiac, Hail to the Thief, In Rainbows. (I'm overly harsh on IR and I really shouldn't be, but the others appeal to me more - they have more impressive experimentation). Then AMSP, Pablo, and TKOL.

My introduction was 'Echo's Answer', which was on the Alternative 90s playlist on Spotify. So I relistened to that, then went Work and Non Work because it was the first one.

Dr. Eugene Felikson 02.04.2019 02:48 PM

You must spread some fake plastic trees around before giving it to choc e-Claire again. I listened to Amnesiac 3 times in a row this morning. They seriously dont have a bad album...

I totally appreciate the songwriting and performance abilities of Radiohead... but the complete and utter seriousness of their music means that I can only listen in limited doses.

Just start with “The Noise Made by People.”

Agree, nothing but good stuff. Impossible to go wrong with Broadcast.

Moon Shaped Pool doesn’t slap. What. No. It kinda just dangles. Like an over cooked spaghetti noodle.

Brainbombs - Souvenirs

I love this record. A band that I always feel are a joke lyrically, and not even a funny one at that. Always slicing up women, homeless people, gays or whatever. Sort of like watching a shit Netflix series made for males with masturbation and relationship with women issues. I just finished cleaning up my place, one of my favourite activities, with this record on. It sounds great.

If I want an ambient album I'll listen to Eno or SAWII or something. I expect Radiohead to excite me.

You and Severian would make a great couple. Even if LOVE was only consumed in the darkroom that is the internet forums. He'd whisper Radiohead lyrics into your ears well and proper. Ambient, ambience etc.

dirty bunny 02.04.2019 07:19 PM

Replicas by Tubeway Army.


(and it's been a while, but yeah can't rep you Soup Nazi for your Teenage Fanclub comment. I was even listening to them at work)

This live version of the tune is probably better than the album version.
