Radiohead - MK 1 [In Rainbows Disc 2]

[Shercko]

I absolutely love this short piece, it reminds of a quiet nighttime drive in my hometown. Lamp posts and traffic lights.

[IcoverRadiohead]

What does MK actually mean? I always thought it's some kind of pauze within an album, like MK1 & MK2?? But what does it really mean, what's the meaning of MK? I know Muse has a song, MK Ultra, and I really want to know what it means!!!!!! =(

[GeoMcEvan]

@IcoverRadiohead It means 'Mark 1' as in 'version 1', oh wow I just noticed your username, I'm a big fan :P

[KrokanteSok94]

actually x)

[KrokanteSok94]

I wonder.. if it's actually possible to actually play this on a piano :o

[animegalc4]

mmmmmm kay?

[galumis18]

ROCK¡¡¡¡¡¡

[AOCRkid]

well I know why this track isn't familiar to me lol

[GeneralHasslehoff]

Everyone buy it please because really its like 7 bucks I could get that with a half hour of lemonade sales :)

[PainofPwning]

Thom Yorke recorded Videotape multiple times before he got it the way he wanted it. I believe Mk 1 and 2 to be one of those trial and error products.

[jayvizer8]

radiohead keeps getting better and better etc i wish i would of waited to buy this cd cause now the bonus comes out

[jirdimaster]

It's at the end of Videotape u guys, i love these samples off the second disk, it would be cool to do a mix using them.

[wheatcandle]

this song reminds me of Pablo Honey, except newer

[tyranitar4ever]

its the end of videotape you fagots

[greenxandxlonely]

... you seriously can't tell the difference between this song and videotape? :\

they use the same sounds from videotape but they mix it into a different song. i'd call it videotape part II

[jazzzzzzzmatazz]

sounds like a segment of "Nude" from the same album

[daurpm]

it rather sounds like a segment of "videotape"

[JackieTheJunkie]

yep!

[Sergjewitsch]

It's a mix of Videotape and Pyramid Song.

[Armistice0]

You must not be familiar with the songs "Nude" or "Videotape". Fix yo' music sense niggaaaaaaa

[Fma1416]

I wondering why you are recommending people to buy it while putting a free download of it right in the description.

[TreesOfEden]

I was reading The Golden Legend almost a couple years back, around the time I heard Disc one. This brings back memories of the friars somehow, just the visuals of them as well as certain Gustav Dore illustrations of the Divine Comedy.

[graysonbreeden]

Can we get an MP3 download please!?!?

[Zedetnik]

READ

THE

VIDEO'S

DESCRIPTION

FIRST

[graysonbreeden]

I

DID!

nothing happened when i tried to put it on itunes. in fact, two days after, my computer said i had 34 VIRUSES! many of which we listed as CRITICAL!!!

[Zedetnik]

This RAR file I've uploaded have been scanned with 3 different antiviruses and do not have any virus.

iTunes DO NOT recognise a RAR file. Try to UNZIP (EXTRACT) the files first.

[graysonbreeden]

good catch, i tried like 3 other places and thats where the viruses came from. so in order to get them onto itunes, i need to "unzip" the files? or can i get them on itunes at all, in which case i see this as pointless to not be able to listen to a download.

[Zedetnik]

Once you unzip the files inside, you can use any MP3 player to play them.

[ihaveaverybadcold]

@graysonbreeden dude....the best thing i found is dirpy.com....go to youtube pick out whatever song you like cut and paste to dirpy hit the dirpy button and then you can convert the vid to a mp3 so simple and no viruses

[irvingcsaltzburg]

@graysonbreeden No seriously I'm still staggering from the sheer stupidity of your comments, I'm in utter fucking shock.

"BUHHHH SO I EXTRACT DOWNLOADED FILES BEFORE I CAN USE THEM? I DUN GOT 30 VIRUSES IT COULDNT BE FROM ALL THAT HORSE PORN I DOWNLOADED YOU MUST HAVE GAVE ME VIRUSES WITH AN MP3 FILE BUHHHH ITUNES IS THE BEST SOURCE OF MUSIC IN THE WORLD."

If you really want to make the world a better place for the love of god just blow your fucking brains out. Please.

[graysonbreeden]

@irvingcsaltzburg Holy shit, troll it up more, why don't you. It was a year ago. So I wasn't tech savey. Chill and move on.

[graysonbreeden]

@irvingcsaltzburg Like, God Fucking Christ, how do you not die inside from posting random on a webpage that is rarely seen or considered of any value. I never even hinted at itunes being my main source of music. I have an ipod, as most people do, and my ipod snychs to itunes. Revolutionary, huh? I got it on physical hardcopy from a Japanese import, and that's after this problem was solved a year ago no thanks to you.

[irvingcsaltzburg]

Oh wow ok so a Radiohead song has no value because it doesn't have a billion views then? So that must mean that bieber's videos must be extremely valuable, I guess we've all been listening to the wrong stuff, huh. Well I know how unbelievably hard it is to download an mp3 file for free by clicking twice with your mouse but at least you decided to invest your money in an expensive imported hardcopy just to get this song, good for you.

[graysonbreeden]

@irvingcsaltzburg I was referring to the comment board that no one will see ever, rather the video that I obviously care about since I bought the physical copy. I bought the copy for the amazing artwork and after I downloaded it a week here after my original post you spun off on like the embarrassing incorrect assumption making twat of a youtube troll you are. Misread the comment's intention and jump to wrong analytical conclusions a little more next time. Now please fuck off for good this time.

[irvingcsaltzburg]

@graysonbreeden If you want to go out of your way to spend money on Radiohead merchandise that's absolutely fine, they deserve more money, I just wanted to point out how retarded you looked bitching about how hard it was to download a simple mp3. You didn't even bother to scan your computer before making a complete moron of yourself by accusing this guy of giving you viruses with a fucking song. Next time sit and think for 2 seconds before making another insanely idiotic assumption like that.

[graysonbreeden]

@irvingcsaltzburg I'd like to point out how far you've gone out of your way to troll down someone you don't even know on something you shouldn't even care about. Everybody has their weaknesses. Back in the 8th Grade, I wasn't tech savey at all. All that being said, the accusation wasn't really that farfetched in the first place, and it shouldn't envoke that kind of exagerated, immature and absolutely uncalled-for abuse towards a complete stranger.

[graysonbreeden]

@irvingcsaltzburg There's no reason barking at a computer screen at this point any longer, and while all has been said and done, nothing validified your immaturity portreyed through the trolling. My name matches my account name because I know I talk to others as people, not lifeless, condesending comment boards. The only reason I retaliate and persist is to show you how much of an asshole you're acting. Defensiveness won't salvage the uncalled-for attacks either.

[irvingcsaltzburg]

@graysonbreeden holy fucking shit you're a retard. how do you even manage to find your way out of bed in the morning?

[perfectupper90]

what does MK stand for?

[TheKnightofCydonia1]

Mortal Kombat? lol

[radeon110]

lol

thats what they wrote this song about

perfect

[basisti94]

Remids me of Videotape

[swansula111]

its suppose to transition from end of In Rainbows' Videotape to MK1. Same with Go Slowly to MK2

[gogolplex74]

hm this is a second part of videotape

[fredmomma]

best fucking song ever

[hunnixox13]

its basically a continuation of videotape

[sockrocker117]

it's from videotape on the first in rainbows cd!

[yovallch]

i just heard them both forward, sound's pretty cool and really creepy...

[necrolyptic]

yeap.

[brianmahagio]

If you listen to MK1 and MK2 at the same time,

backwards, (start them at the same time, mk1 runs on a little longer), there is a secret message.

you heard it here first.

[RedEyeglasses]

I tried it and there is no secret message.

[chocoboeater00]

Must...try...

[logostrikebeta2]

There's no secret message.

Brianmahagio, you're lying.

[brianmahagio]

ah you got me...

[85TexasPointer]

whats the message?

[ChappersXD]

there isn't one, tbh.

it just sounds like noise,

and random backwards reathing noises

[GuitarGuru757]

sounds like radiohead uses a monome.pretty ambient.

[jbging13]

u are talking bollocks

explain yourself

[fakeplastctreefingrs]

yea i know. it's very dumb and useless. i thought of it while i was listening to this and just happened to have the alphabet in front of me. but anyway, i think this is a beautiful way of starting disc 2 by distorting the recording of videotape. i talk too much in my comments

[fakeplastctreefingrs]

hows this for an observation: this is basically videotape (VT),and from V to T it is 2 letters backwards in the alphabet. go back 7 more and you get to M.

M backwards another 2 letters is K. MK(get it?).

now you've gone back with the numbers 2 & 7. 2x7=14. you're still on K, now go back 14 and you're on W. this song is MK 1 so you go back 1 more letter and you're back at V for videotape.

very stupid thing to say but i just had to say this

[irvingcsaltzburg]

@fakeplastctreefingrs Give me a break with that numerology crap. The alphabet is not a perpetual system, Z doesn't come before A for fuck's sake.

[richardroepersuxdick]

nice way to continue from videotape

[jaemsaldridge]

you can hear jonny playing around with max/msp

its a droning sound but you can hear the subtle looping.

what a fun program.

[joshreichental]

This song sounds like a new song, but near the end you can hear the piano for "How I made my millions".

[joshreichental]

Sorry, I meant "Videotape".

[CommunistNihilist]

And the humming from it.

[wmryan78]

wow, you 2 must be the queens of observation.

[CommunistNihilist]

Oh god forbid that he point something out and I add to it. I hope you get garroted.

[wmryan78]

i havent been.

[wmryan78]

Dont worry, my discbox was sent back to New Jersey before I got it; albeit 29 days after w.a.s.t.e notified it had been sent out. Well worth the agonizing wait and money is just peanuts anyhow.

[Depechexb]

God this is soo moody with the moaning vocals! great introduction to the 2nd disc.

[telecasterthommy]

I don't have a clue what you are talking about when you say 'JizzExplosion' lol, but yeah, good luck with the Telecaster.

[telecasterthommy]

Quite a lot artwork, and it's good. lol, why is my name ridiculous?! My name is Thomas and I (used to) have a Telecaster! Now I have a Stratocaster, but StratocasterThommy lacks in alliteration

[telecasterthommy]

I was so excited when I got the discbox out, stuck this on, and heard the Videotape humming and piano sample. The bonus disk really is fantastic, if you don't buy it, at least download it, it is unmissable.

[JizzExplosion]

Where do you live? I live in California and as of Dec 31st have not yet received the discbox, do you suppose I'm screwed?

[telecasterthommy]

I hope not for your sake! I got mine within the first week or so of December, well before Christmas, so I dunno why you dont have yours... Get them contacted, it's bloody worth having.

[maxpatrick]

Have faith, I also live in California but I finally received mine a few days ago.

[mate3337777]

got the discbox today, it's good, i love paying for something i love... anyways, the artwork and photos on disc2 are beauty, the oversized sleeve is awesome and the lyric sheet is more of the same awesome, beautiful package. now i need the stickers from the 010108 release.. oh well favorites are worth celebrating.

[racso452]

Does anyone know where I can get Disc 2 without having to pay $80?!?! Please! I effin need it.

[kato0291]

these are the backup vocals under videotape and the end part is the piano from videotape sampled...intriguing

[nicolyrandomluv]

reminds me of "Videotape" for some reason...

[samman350]

Yeah it's that sample just before the "This is my way of saying goodbye..." part I think

[nicolyrandomluv]

dang i wish i had disc 2 XD

[fetillo]
