I have no idea how they're going to distribute it, but more power to them.

Is this basically Radiohead leaking their own album before they release it? This raises interesting questions of when something can be "released."

Are you high or something?

Where else is there for them to go? Thom Yorke released a solo record a couple years ago that was super "computery"...if they want to do evolve and grow once again, they can't keep making Amnesiac and Kid A, right? If they plan on having a really long career, a dramatically stripped back sound would be a way for them to remain pertinent. Make a band record instead of an enormous record full of bells, whistles, and entire brass sections, Radiohead! That might be cool!

In 1967, Bob Dylan supposedly released the first "roots" record...it's a cliché (the "roots" record), but in Radiohead's case, it'd be fucking unexpected and incredible to behold. It'd be interesting to see what they would do if they went back to a more Bends type sound...seeing as now they are far more mature (i.e., drained of youthful bombast/piss/vinegar) and masterful than they were during that period ("mature" is really the key word here, not "masterful").


If I was high all the time (like I was when I joined the board through about March or April), I would be far more careful not to frequently piss people off on the board. I have not been smoking very much marijuana as of late (though certain board members can call me on this [except for one sleepy dude]).

Which reminds me...lick my balls you inconsiderate little douche nozzle. I've noticed that you only seem to have a bunch of spiteful shit to say all the time...there was one particular instance on the Sendspace thread that pissed me off royally. I only just now got around to letting you know.

I mean, hell, the audience cheers when Darth Vader throws the Emperor down the reactor shaft; they don't scoff and say, "yeah, ok, too little, too late, Darthy."
