RADIOHEAD: New album out Saturday

Just received an e-mail. It's available for pre-order on vinyl or mp3 format. It's called "The King of Limbs." So pumped!

 

Listening to the first song so far, shades of Kid A.

Your avatar sucks, btw.

 

One of favorite songs of all time...

Hopefully they can match its excellence on this new release.

 

Just got the album, it's like what Kid A was to OK Computer. So-so, not mind-blowing.

 

I can live with that. I liked pieces of Kid A a lot the first few times I listened to it, warmed up to the rest with further listens. Amnesiac and In Rainbows worked like that for me, too.

 

Actually, on second thought, it's not as good as Kid A -- not at all. It's too short and just not that great, which you come to expect from such a band. Not trying to be very critical because I respect them, but it's just not what I expected.

 

Radio-meh.

I liked "Creep" but only because it reminded me of the shoegazing stuff I dug five years before it came out.

 

I remember Prodigy in 1992, which would have been my sophomore year of high school that fall, downloading the 49ers football roster...which was AWESOME! I could memorize the whole team..not just the starting lineup showed at the start of the game (which I would tape and pause to look at).

The day the 'net became "real' to me was not until Aug. 31, 1997. The day Princess Di died. It was the first story I remember only needing the Internet to get info from. I was at my college radio station all day on Yahoo looking up info.

 

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you tried to post in the Internet thread.

 

Ha! Yes...I was wondering why that post didn't show up. Too many windows open methinks.

Yes, Jaydiohead, a mash-up of Jay-Z and Radiohead. Interesting, to say the least.
