this is really cool to hear as a musician. if you really generally aren't interested in it it's not something to really go on about. also thom was a DJ before radiohead. it's awkward to be in this kind of position, it takes balls to do this in a public forum. feeling no guilt for it and at t...

if you only care about something sounding "right" or "good" you really shouldn't be here to say it on a youtube video. you should've fallen off them years ago. like, every album they ever put out. the tenderness and vulnerability of his voice is tragic, it's mystical, it's overwhelming, it's h...

*sniff* sentence fragment *rubs nose* phrase *sniff* stumbling over syllables

@CrispyRingo i bet they said to themselves "selves, let's end it with this because it'll make people get lulled into the false sense of security the subject matter would seem to elicit and then scare them with a huge nervous build-up at the end. that way it reflects what this is about!!" ....na...

@themadmoose245 try not to use music. you and whose army

@featherheadsify ps all those things are taken mostly from his interview with pitchfork but other interviews directly with him and by good journalists. at all times he seems utterly terified that he has to become something that makes him leave behind his entire life. he actually says that at o...

i don't want to hype them anymore than they are being hyped, but no kidding like...go back to the first video and everyone's kinda staring and silently heckling. you can even hear "what the fuck is he doing up there?" from some asshole. the usual shit they went through. but if the shows on her...

@Clerks0 if you've never met julian, it's always his birthday. and the cake is always his favorite. he's the one person i've met who i suspected seriously of being supernatural in some way. he's exactly as he comes across. thank ra.

aside from the brass players, during 96-98 i don't recall any other line-up performing officially that didn't include jeremy on drums, julian on gleeful chaos/banjo/saw, and scott on bass/brass/etc. the live songs are so unique-sounding; they are the colors to his drawings. there is an interview...

there isn't really any reason to do this but somebody has to say: this album doesn't need any more shit, genres, mythology, or sweaters attached to it. ever. anything anyone says about music just boxes it into traps of obscure nonsense. listen to the album, maybe read some stuff with the cre...

i firmly believe that drugs were a crucial part to my development as a creative artist (including writing) and i've met many more people who say the same. there's not much of an argument, and what's worse is he just sort of defends it by saying they act weird and talking "voodoo pharmacology" (l...

@BustardBuzzard i think enough people would have. it's so well done that you can't help but empathize with the sound and passion; to the point of crying. people who loved "good vibrations" did so for the same reasons that makes this good. People who love sound, and there were even more then, *l...

"let's look at him!"

@viddrome also he used the instruments to create the "sound effects", turning violins into sirens, you can almost hear the diving board on "love to say dada", the waves of french horns on "Surf's Up"--it's just the most beautiful sound scape to lie around in for an hour or so. also none of The E...

Mono is absolutely the right format for this release and every other release recorded in this era. They were recorded *with mono in mind*, as the documentary clearly states. This is a piece of art, it isn't up to debate or the raising of hands. Stereo SMiLE is like someone taking a Van Gough a...

@cobrabobby1 the rest of the boys, but primarily carl and denny, played on several sessions for both Pet Sounds and SMiLE. Also The Wrecking Crew were employed in i think late 1964 for the first studio work; even songs like "Help Me, Rhonda" are distinctly Brian's as a final product, and were pr...

@genericgeorge you can kinda guess tho if you listen. very rare to hear from them especially at this time.

YESSSSSSSSSSSS COVER! COVER!! COVER!!!!

CAN (in the early 70's) was the first group to edit sections of jams together into pop songs. this method(which dates back to "good vibrations" by the beach boys) via computer allowed Nigel to bypass Yorke's writer's block by using his voice "as an instrument". CAN's singer Damo Czuki was Japane...
