Radiohead
 

anonymous from anonymous on 2001-03-15 01:21 [#00001040]



what do you people think of em (radiohead) - also, how bout
the verve, dj shadow, My Bloody Valentine, UNKLE, or other
peoples


 

Ross on 2001-03-15 01:49 [#00001042]



I love radiohead, kid a would definitely be my favorite
album, because of the electronic sound and influences that
inspired it. Dj shadow- incredible, both pre-emptive and
endtroducing are albums that take you to a whole different
world. Unkle, very good too, lonely soul is one of my
favorites...My bloody valentine, pinnacle of early 90s
brilliance with Loveless, and Kevin Shields has done some
good work with Primal scream on xtrmntr, which is
interesting

Yeah I am a very big Radiohead fan as well as Aphex Twin. If
you also liked their last album oyu mght want to check out
Charles Mingus. This is what I tell anyone if they like Kid
A because I found out that big band jazz really is amazing.

I have both Endtroducing and Preemtive strike as well. In
case you don't know, UNKLE is a collaboration- DJ Shadow and
James Lavelle. There are a lot of very good voices on the CD
including Richard Ashcroft and Tom Yorke on the last track.

I haven't listened to the others that much except the verve.
You also might like to know that DJ Shadow is releasing a
movie soudtrack later this year. I think the film is called
Dark Days. I'm not positive.

Other artists you might like:

-Tortoise
-Nightmares on Wax
-Future Sounds of London
-Autechre
-Coldplay (some people say they are like Radiohead, I think
it's bullshit, you might like them tho)

You might also want to check out Thievery Corporation. These
are compilation CDs. I haven't listened to it but a friend
of mine has bought a couple and sas they are very good. To
give you and idea one of them has Gus Gus on it, don't know
if you have heard of them.


 

Richard Wilson from Truro, England on 2001-03-15 12:08 [#00001050]



I think Radiohead are the best musical divas out there.
Ideotheque is the most quality tune on Kid A for real.


 

Richard Wilson from Truro, England on 2001-03-15 12:09 [#00001051]



I also think Portishead are imense aswell!


 

Laurel from basethirteen.org on 2001-03-15 14:27 [#00001054]



mmm... yes, i just got the like, 10 foot tall kid A poster,
i love the little bears that overlook me as i slumber. i
loved ok computer as well. and the bends... and yah, i like
radiohead.


 

Scary Bear on 2001-03-15 15:05 [#00001057]



Wilson: I would love to hear an Aphex Twin Remix of
Idioteque. Too fucking right mate it's probably one of the
best songs I own you got good taste dude.


 

think from hi on 2001-03-15 22:31 [#00001066]



i think kid a is an amazing record. all their ither stuff
sounds like crappy european music.....i like creep..thank.s


 

Id Lab from Preston, UK on 2001-03-16 00:52 [#00001073]



Think - Radiohead ARE European. And I like them. Creep is
one of the greatest teen angst records ever, Kid A and OK
Computer are both great albums. I don't think much of The
Verve or Coldplay, they are both dull in my opinion.
Thievery Corporation are also dull in general, though they
have about two good tunes. MBV are excellent, DJ Shadow was
a pioneer though I never listen to him any more, and UNKLE
was the same with a bigger ego. (i.e. James Lavelle.)


 

Klynt from San Mateo, California on 2001-03-16 10:43 [#00001081]



KID A- I read so many (bad) reviews about this record. I
didn't have an opinion on it as quickly as everyone else in
the world did, and I didnt understand where all these
Radiohead critics were coming from. It's an amazing
recording. I still listen to it.
the Verve is cool, I think Richard Ashcroft is a cooler
person than his music though, Urban Hymns has some nice
moments "sonnet" "catching the butterfly". He has a great
presence, but his new stuff reminds me of Neil Diamond. MBV
are an important band. Loveless is one of my top 10 fav.
albums of all-time EVER! Kevin Sheilds is, to me, the most
innovative guitarist of the last 20 yrs. Billy Corgan owes a
great debt to him. DJ Shadow's Endtroducing was a highlight
of that yr (96) and he basically just shitted on everything
in Hip Hop, along with most dj music at the time. His new
album this yr(2001) should be interesting. Portishead is
tops! I'd buy a new record from them in a sec, where are
they?


 

Scary Bear on 2001-03-16 14:02 [#00001082]



Hey 'tis me again.
I don't really like creep, it's the only Radiohead song I
don't like all that much. Unlike all their other music they
made creep almost by accident when Jonny Greenwood was
testing his guitar he let off this really loud riff, one of
the practises Thom happened to be singing a new song of his
and they were told to keep it. Sure they liked it for a
while but it was all very quick and rushed.

Radiohead's best work is 97 and onwards but this next album
'Amnesiac' is going to be a bit shorter than Kid A and will
have a cuple more tracks. I am really looking forward to it,
you can buy tickets today for their big Oxford show.


 

think from lincoln,ne on 2001-03-16 23:09 [#00001094]



IM A CREEP AND KID B


 

Phobiazero from Sweden on 2001-03-18 20:14 [#00001126]



Radiohead is pretty interesting, especially 'OK Computer' &
'Kid A'. Don't like their earlier releases though.


 

Ross on 2001-03-19 08:01 [#00001167]



Portishead are working with Alison moyet from Yaz currently,
all i can say is anything portishead will be incredible


 

hexane on 2001-03-19 10:56 [#00001169]



another cool thing about kid a, apart from the amazing music
("everything in its right place" is my personal fave) is the
'freebie' under the black panel. anyone else discovered
this?


 

Ross on 2001-03-19 21:11 [#00001180]



hexane, yeah my friend discovered that when it first came
out, she thought she saw something under it, which i had no
idea about, it's a crazy lil booklet


 

Klynt from San Mateo, California on 2001-03-19 22:04 [#00001186]



.Another thing about KID A is that I see a lot of
similarities to Bjork, which isn't a bad thing at all.
Anyways, I did find the extra sleeve of artwork. A freind
had mentioned it to me, and that's how i found out.
"i woke up sucking a lemon"


 

Ross on 2001-03-19 22:07 [#00001187]



im really excited about bjorks next cd, vespertine, they
delayed it til August:(
but with collaborations with matmos and bogdan raczynski it
should be interesting


 

think from lincoln,ne on 2001-03-19 23:04 [#00001197]



Ross-----did you see bjorks movie, dancer in the dark?? it
was an indi film here avbout a 2 months ago, it lasted 3 or
4 weekends................................


 

Ross on 2001-03-19 23:13 [#00001201]



Oh yes, i loved it! it comes out on dvd tomorrow, im gonna
buy it, but i vow not to watch it too many times, its just
not one of those movies you can..it's too sad


 

think from lincoln,ne on 2001-03-20 02:18 [#00001206]



ross- yes its sad.....but it makes you realize all that you
have...........tell me if the dvd is worth it? any special
features? when ya get it mail me @
thad1@hotmail.com........thanks.....think


 

Ross on 2001-03-20 02:19 [#00001208]



alrighty i most definitely will..
its 31.99 cdn at the local hmv


 

sammalhabe from estonia on 2001-03-20 12:44 [#00001229]



idiotique sounds like aphex already
no need to remix it.
sounds like radiohead has been
working whit rich.


 

Ross on 2001-03-20 19:33 [#00001245]



the song 'kid a' on kid a reminds me of aphexs' flim


 

hedtwin from Manchester, England. on 2001-03-20 19:38 [#00001248]



Do you really think they sound like aphex?? (idioteque and
Kid A). The only thing that sounds like aphex to me about
them is the fact that they are electronic.

Having said that, TOm Yorke and RDJ are supposed to be good
mate, and RDJ heard KID A before anyone else, so he could
have collaberated on a coupld of the tracks, maybe........
unlikely, but possible


 

Id Lab from Preston, UK on 2001-03-20 19:58 [#00001249]



I don't think Kid A sounds much like Aphex. It's just that
anything that breaks new ground in electronic music
(especially if it's done by a band that used to be mainly
guitar-based) is automatically compared to Aphex. I can hear
similarities in 'Idioteque', but the comparison is mainly
down to laziness among journalists. I have the same problem
with my own music (not to boast, of course) - on MP3.com
and its equivalents, I have to enter a list of bands I sound
like. I don't sound much like any existing band, but I put
Aphex top to indicate the general kind of area.

By the way, I have a new track called Outsider, appearing on
http://www.garageband.com/artist/idlab soon.


 

Netlon Sentinel from Netherlands on 2001-03-20 22:25 [#00001256]



why not NIN? i think they make inspired, if not frightningly
good music. btw, check out smashing pumpkins' early releases
and any tool album. those are probably the last real
rockbands. from before the heavy metal boybands took over.
thank god for warp!


 

Ross on 2001-03-20 23:18 [#00001258]



think, my email is down right now, but i got the bjork
dvd..
it has a documentary on the process of them using 100
cameras, choreography of the dance sequences, original
theatrical trailer, biographies (as usual), individual songs
to just watch and so on..If you really liked it i would
suggest buying it, or maybe just even renting it, its up to
you


 

crapnose from Montreal on 2001-03-29 03:26 [#00001805]



Wow, i have to explain myself?! I LOVE DJ Shadow. i
seriously can't get enough. I'm not his biggest fan but he
is one of my favorite artists. And Radiohead--just got into
the loop last year, got Kid A and OK Computer, already had
The Bends. They're one of my favorite bands now.


 

AFXDUB from canada on 2001-03-29 09:13 [#00001839]



the verve sucks Æ’ucking ass!. so does all the shit you
mentioned, except for dj shadow that shit of OK, I love AFX
so much, im really into Autechre, U-Ziq, Photek, Download,
KMFDM, Orbital, The Orb, Squarepusher, Luke Vibert
[Plug/wagonchrist], Nine INch Nails, Nightmares On Wax...
uhhhmmm... there are more...


 

AFXDUB from canada on 2001-03-29 09:15 [#00001840]



portishead is pretty cool, so is nirvana [been a real fan
since bleach was released, for all you non nirvana people,
that was some time before they got anywhere near famous.]


 

ClobeSmith from southern california on 2001-04-04 23:08 [#00002589]



i know it's been a bit since anyone posted ... but, i read
somewhere, radiohead was influenced by early aphex twin. i
love radiohead, had the opportunity to see them live last,
um, october. best concert ever ... oh, scary bear: that a
radiohead thing, refering to the "new logo," or whatever it
should be called? i think i've listened to kid a like twice
a day since it came out.

(dancer in the dark was the most depressing flick i've ever
seen, though i loved it. my friends and i were planning to
see requiem for a dream and dancer in the same day. i'm
glad that didn't work out.)
