…when you have a new Radiohead album to listen to. I figured out that I’ve been listening to this band for something like ten years. Saw them once at Blossom in Ohio, and once in Florence, Italy. Every album is a great event to look forward to. They’ve never let me down.

Okay…I’ve listened all the way through: It’s good. Minimal, groovy, and spaced-out. I like it. What do y’all think?
Austin Kleon says
BTW, Radiohead guitarist Johnny Greenwood did the soundtrack for the newest PT ANDERSON movie, which looks absolutely amazing:

I thought this was well-said:
“By offering the album in the way they did, Radiohead gave us a bit of a gift: universal excitement. This effectively brought back the joy of album release day — millions of people hearing the record for the first time at once — and combined it with the our modern ability to instantly gush to all of those fellow fans online. It’s the best of all worlds.”
Tim Godek says
Still have to download this myself. I effectively don’t have internet for the first part of the day.
But, hey! I saw them at Blossom, too – years back. Maybe THE SAME SHOW!!! (cue ominous music)
Austin Kleon says
was it August 2001 with the Beta Band and Kid Koala?
Tim Godek says
Yeah, that’s the one. I remember Kid Koala played a clip from a “Magic Star Traveler” show (a truly awful kids program I had just become acquainted with shortly before).
You were there too, huh? Cool coincidence…
