My Perfect Albums

Some albums are perfect. While the word ‘perfect’ has different meanings between people, in my eyes, a perfect album is an album where I like every single track and rarely have to skip over one. I find myself enjoying every song and will happily listen to said album from beginning to end. That being said, there aren’t many albums I’d consider perfect. Here are the ones I think definitely are though. OK Computer OK Computer by Radiohead only just scrapes into this list. Mostly because of the track Fitter Happier. But personally, I quite like the track. It fits perfectly… [Continue Reading]

In Rainbows From the Basement

I am a big fan of Radiohead. To the point that I’ve actually seen them play live. To the extent that I’m actually in the crowd of Earls Court, where 2+2=5 was played live and added to the b-side album Com Lag. Okay that last one is due to sheer chance, but I really do love Radiohead. It speaks to me. However, what I enjoy more is hearing different versions of various songs. Radiohead have been around for a stupidly long time, and so many of their songs have been redone, remixed and completely reworked. While other bands covering Radiohead… [Continue Reading]

Thoughts on KID A MNESIA

The other day, I wrote an article about a weird art exhibition made in video game form. Everything in there was a celebration from Radiohead, marking the twenty years of their two albums, Kid A and Amnesiac. As well as a virtual exhibition, Radiohead released a combined album called KID A MNESIA, which features the two albums, plus a bonus disk. The bonus disc contains a mish-mash of songs, half of which are untitled. And all of which meld into each other. The songs released as singles are nice. There are two new songs on KID A MNESIA that are…… [Continue Reading]

The KID A MNESIA digital exhibition

To celebrate 21 years of music, namely Kid A and Amnesiac, the band Radiohead have done something pretty cool. They’ve gone and commissioned a digital exhibition, showcasing both the art and the music of their two albums. How Radiohead have done this though is pretty damn cool. They made a 3d digital world in which you can experience Radiohead’s art, both in drawings and music. It’s an… interesting experience KID A MNESIA is a strange thing. It has pretty standard and simple controls – all you can really do is walk around and occasionally sprint. Meanwhile, everything just sort of… [Continue Reading]

My Favourite Radiohead Tracks

All of a sudden, pretty much every Radiohead song ever released has ended up on Youtube. This includes not just their main albums but even the music track they did for the James Bond movie Spectre and a lot of their side-albums and unreleased stuff. Why? I have no idea. But I’m not going to look a gift horse in the mouth because I’m too busy listening to Radiohead. Seriously, pretty much every song is here, and you can access all of them on Youtube via their albums here. How did I get into Radiohead? I’m not really sure, it’s… [Continue Reading]

Reviewing the new Radiohead album – A Moon Shaped Pool

Did you know that I’m a Radiohead fan? Probably not. You probably also don’t know that I saw Radiohead live at Earls Court when I was 11 years old. Even more interesting is the fact that I’m technically on the Japanese-release album Com Lag. Track one is 2+2=5, recorded at Earls Court, the exact date I went to see them. But being a Radiohead fan is weird, because Radiohead themselves don’t really seem to give a fuck. They’re the sort of band that does whatever the hell it wants. Especially Thom Yorke. Albums are released pretty much at random, and… [Continue Reading]
