...and I have to say what a blast that was to watch! If you havn't seen it i definatly recommend seeing that dvd. I like how it wasn't all pop and glitz and only showed the good side of things. i just like how it was almost honest in its approach to the band and the life they have to life to do what they want to do. you could easy see them getting quite exausted of all these questions thrown at them and all the photo shoots they had to go through ... among other things. Very nice documentary on Radiohead. I like this one part where Thom was answering a question and he's like directing his answer to like how he sees the pop-rock industry on how its all based on money. you see all this money come in and its just so easy to lay back and get comphy with throwing out all the same old stuff and never take a risk. Its just so easy to do that. im just glad Radiohead have the 'balls' so to speak and strength to do new things... and thats one of the reasons why i like them so much...that and they're just so talented.

the dvd package itself has an Ok Computer look to it. the front has diagrams on how to hold a steering wheel...some charts and graphs...a man in a car...and the woman and man shaking hands.

thats a great movie. what i really like, besides the overall approach you already mentioned, are the little moments when the audio and visual sides of that movie really come together to convey its themes. plus the live performance where Jonny "revs" up his guitar is great.

yeah that was great. is jonny the one with 'japanese hair'? man its so long on the front...but it looks so cool. it really shows nicely when he was on the the phone in the hotel or whatever doing that interview. so he was revving his guitar there? i wasn't sure what he was doing...he was just making it sound so weird...it was wicked.

its from their 1998 tour for Ok computer, so its sort of a limbo between ok computer and Kid a. it really explains why Kid A was made as it was.

i say revving because it sounded like a car engine starting, you know, reving, and they were playing airbag. that guy's a genius.

Zaphod:
1) how did you know it was their ok comp tour? and
2) how did you get the impression that it explained how kid a was made? i didn't see anything about that.

well, the whole thing features songs from ok computer, it starts out with a news artile scrolling up the screen about ok computer, and the entire thing pretty much chronicles how much they hated that tour and the medias reception of ok computer.

which brings me to kid a. that album was sort of a rejection of the press declaring radiohead as "saviors of rock and roll" and i see it as their most alien album, so it seems like it was a logical next step and response to the hell they go through in meeting people is easy. i don't know how much sense that makes, but there are probably websites detailing this stuff.

speaking of radiohead, i've just downloaded all their new songs, and they seem very good, although the mp3 quality is terrible.

yeah i saw this again last week too..
very well done
and yeah, it was intended as a documentation of the whole touring/album promoting experience...as zaphod said, its clear that kid a and amnesiac were created and handled the way they were because of this experience..
