[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Heat #3 was even closer than Heat #2! Kelis gets two more songs through with the help of ODB; the rest of the Wu Tang Clan join Spiller & Sophie E-B in the final. But it's a six-way stalemate for 5th place! Look for the tie-breaker at the end of this poll...

Is there anything in this or any other heat that ISN'T "better than Radiohead"!

The fact that 'Idioteque' actually has a half-decent beat (only half: why bother with Radiohead's idea of 2-step when there's ACTUAL 2-step to tick) is totally negated by the very worst, whiniest vocal I've ever heard from Thom Yorke, which is quite something given that his default is an awful whine.

Dude the Radiohead track is such a massive time machine to that first term at college when we were all crowded round the stereo in Mayer's tiny room...

...then again so is drinking Absolut vodka.

The point is that the vocal is whiny, tho; it's pretty much the only Radiohead track I still like. It's woozy and clanking and creepy to the correct degrees; it just reminds me of desperate essay moments in my first year of university.

Also I was interviewed about Kid A for a Canadian TV channel when it came out and managed to blag my way through it despite never having heard the album at the time so I have a bit of a soft spot for it.
