Re: I have never heard...

Most of it I either dislike or am fairly indifferent to but the first 3 tracks are grebt:

Airbag - my favourite Radiohead song and it deals best with their 'themes' i.e. humanity and technology, powerlessness, the interface between self-hatred and hope, not being very good at social skills etc etc.

Paranoid Android - very very funny (and catchy)

Subterranean Homesick Alien - heartbreakingly lovely guitar stuff.

'Paranoid Android' is only funny in a point-and-laugh way though!

Clearly the best way for this to be emphasised is through uploading the version of Starry and Pete's kareoke version in the King of Corsica.

I'm sure I have heard tell of a legendary Paranoid Android somewhere back in the mists of time though. Maybe not in the KoC though.

Re: I have never heard...

[carsmilesteve.livejournal.com]

yes, but it was not recorded, unlike bo rap.

Re: I have never heard...

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Recording technology does not exist that can capture the nuances of Pete's Paranoid Android.

Re: I have never heard...

[carsmilesteve.livejournal.com]

the P, the V, indeed...

Re: I have never heard...

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Yes but it is funnier in that way than any other song of the last 20 years - it is transcendentally ridiculous and all the better for it.

(Especially because it is about T Yorke getting annoyed in a pub)

Also Subterranean Homesick Alien is the best example of Radiohead's 'lets make our guitars sound like synths' approach.
