official Sandbox making fun of Radiohead thread

ONE DAY HE WILL ACHIEVE THAT LEVEL OF COMPOSITIONAL PROWESS

who the fuck is fothering thomas and when will sb return?

not reading this thread but my roommate was blasting radiohead the other day and i realized that i truly do hate them. i just can't stand thom yorke's singing, idk how ppl can listen to that for like, hundreds of hours, over the course of their lifetimes. just so... annoying.

I decided to turn the word “pretentious” into a compliment. The common assumption is that there are “real” people and there are others who are pretending to be something they’re not. There is also an assumption that there’s something morally wrong with pretending. My assumptions about culture as a place where you can take psychological risks without incurring physical penalties make me think that pretending is the most important thing we do. It’s the way we make our thought experiments, find out what it would be like to be otherwise.

Anyway, T. Yorke totally rates the Emika, so his taste still has merit.

One day I hope to reach the jaded level of cynicism of a long term ILX0r on a Radiohead thread.

Yeah, dropping Emika in the midst of all that studious IDM was a pleasant surprise on the 6mix so Yorke does still occasionally display good taste.

Is that quote on pretention Thommy because is so, fair play, <3 to him for it. Though I reserve the right to laugh at his haircuts.

If so, that is.

Actually, that's Eno from Year with Swollen Appendices.

Hahaha that's somehow even better because there was me thinking hmmm might go into wkiw territory with Yorke and much rather wkiw Eno.

That said I would totally rather wkiw In Rainbows/TKOL Yorke that sings about wife swapping and skinny dipping than OKC era singing bout the IMF and "the head of state has called for me by name" silliness.

Fotherington Thomas is someone who wants to add his strength to ours

i rarely pay much attention to lyrics - which song does he sing about wife swapping? "House of Cards"? (i don't want to be your friend, i just want to be your lover)

"throw your keys in the bowl, kiss your husband goodnight, forget about your house of cards and I'll deal mine"

Keys in the bowl is totally the code for suburban wife-swapping parties. (why do i kno this?)

"hullo TREES hullo clear LAKE!"

Yeah FT I liked the Ice Storm too

Never seen it?

Can you imagine going to a key party with Radiohead and pulling out Thom's? DAMMIT I wanted the tall one with the floppy hair that looks like Hugh Grant!

It was a clear blue morning when a J Spaceman fan felt the sudden moral authority to call something "pretentious"

Dunno where you get the J. Spaceman thing but I am not and have never been a Jason fan so point yr zing somewhere else.

My problem with RH isn't really so much that they're pretentious (pompous, yes, po-faced sometimes) but that, according to Eno's lovely little descriprion, theyre not really pretentious *enough*. (except for when it comes to things like pretending they're not worth £30 million a piece when visiting OWS but whatevs)

quite the paradox that In Rainbows seems to get lots of glowing reviews as their best album, and yet to me it marks the shift from them being 'the most fascinating and exciting band of the moment' to 'boring old status quo Radiohead. Nothing exemplary here!!!"

Did they really *get* a lot of glowing critical ink over In Rainbows? really? because I saw a lot of critical ink spilled over "OMG innovative new way of (already massive bands) cashing in on their fanbase without pirating" but I didn't see anyone getting overexcited about the career peak of the tracks. Seems like most critics are split between OKC or Kid A as a career peek.

I am perfectly willing to admit that RH have now hit their holding pattern, and if they bung out another 8 tracks like TKOL every 18 to 24 months for the rest of time, they can be this generation's Cure or REM, I'm fine with that. I've long ago accepted my Thomosexuality and so long as he keeps Flea away from the recording process of his solo albums (I fear that I may be too late on that one because if there's anything I hate more than Penderecki it's Flea, cut his thumbs off, cut cut, WORST bassist ever) he could sing the phone directory down the phone and I'd be happy.

There is another message board and it is called ateaseweb

I am terrified senseless of RH fans. They are all fucken weirdoes and I don't get on with them. I far prefer RH haterz. TBH.

If ILX can have long running rolling threads on, say, Pink Floyd, I don't really see why we can't have one on RH but, uh, fine, point taken, I'll go and boil my head. :-(

Richard D. James invented glissandi.

Well Penderecki certainly didn't!

Penderecki invented slap bass.

Well he must have got that idea from Xenakis, that's where he got all his other ones

Another word that sounds good in Geordie.

(xpost, actually so does that one. Actually, what doesn't!)

hey who is ft in non-sbox times?

I am Thom Yorke.

Well Penderecki certainly didn't!

O RLY? Teach me moar. I was quite clearly claiming that he did.

No, you were saying Richard D James did.

Yes. Serious business.

Deserves a pat on the back for it, the James boy.

Yes. And for reinventing music altogether by making non-boring music and always remaining so fresh & vital.

Shall we do a Penderecki vs Aphex Twin poll because I think we all know the answer to that is: SPIKE JONES

I'll see your Spike, and I'll raise you a Stan!

ha-ISHOOO

bless you.

That J&M got banned like crazy back then. (Possibly the spontorg in the middle, poss not)...

I always thought John and Yoko's "John and Yoko" was a take-off (certainly as far as John was concerned)...

I love how YouTube keeps track of what you watch even when you're not logged in, so it's offering me up a confusing selection of Spike Jones episodes and "Live From The Basement" sessions of Thom Yorke wandering around with Scott Walker hair.

There used to be a fillum for StanFreb's "Day-o" back on the BBC in the sixties/early seventies, they'd use it to fill in time.

Basically, a lot of bendy toys in animation.

Never seen for years, not on Youtube, probably because the bendy Bugs Bunny breached copyright or something.

LOL

I saw this had been bumped and was all "Shit, I should put the PO vid in there!". Nice work, CC.

got it from some ladys facebook page idk

:)

You guys are all mean. (Not really.) Still listing King of Limbs as one of my fave albums of the year, though.

Well in terms of whose HAIR Thom Yorke has decided to emmulate now, Aphex Twin is definitely winning out over Penderecki.

^^^^^you can only imagine the double take I did when that came on the screen. Yes it is a gingerish ponytail.

(No, I don't really want to think about the contradictions inherent in a multi millionaire using the Occupy movement to promote his own cred, I really don't want to go there because it annoys me too much.)

Radiohed are too dead personality wise to even make fun of.
