theres a pretty cool promo flash site too it will be mostly electronic based " this is just a note to say that something has been kicking around in the background that i have not told you about. its called The Eraser. nigel produced & arranged it . i wrote and played it. the elements have been kicking round now for a few years and needed to be finished & i have been itching to do something like this for ages. it was fun and quick to do. inevitably it is more beats & electronics. but its songs. stanley did the cover. yes its a record! no its not a radiohead record. as you know the band are now touring and writing new stuff and getting to a good space so i want no crap about me being a traitor or whatever splitting up blah blah... this was all done with their blessing. and i don't wanna hear that word solo. doesnt sound right. ok then thats that. i think its out in july and im pretty certain XL are going to put it out. love thom" |

I like the artwork, and the music on the site sounds pretty interesting also. Never been that into radiohead i must confess, but this sounds pretty good. |

THE ERASER. OOH COOL NAME THOM YORKE>> |

hopefully it's not one of those really cheap erasers that break off as soon as you use them, or leave pink smudges when they actually work. |
||||||||
|

Those are the best ones. Like the ones you get on the end of pencils. Or the pointy ones you can attach to pencils. Brilliant. |

This is kind of interesting, although reading what rubbish he has said about the new Radiohead album I suspect it will be self absorbed and tedious. I hope not |

I don't know - I've pretty much had it with Thom Yorke and Radiohead the last few years. it seems to me that since "kid A" they've been repeating themselves, not so much in the instruments, but more in the compositions, what they do with it, but especially the moods in their songs. I still buy the albums and I listen to them a couple of times and then they gather dust on a shelf. not even a special Radiohead shelf. yes, it's that bad. the bits of electronica have been nice, but not really groundbreaking, a lot of the times even pretty obvious. oh well, I'm not saying Radiohead is a bad band, or Thom Yorke is a git (although I have a strong suspicion he is) but I don't see what all the fuss is about, really. |
||||||||

|||||||||

Agreed totally about the moods. I almost think they've got their tongues in their cheeks sometimes... maybe their dark humor just isn't funny enough or something, but I just don't know what to think sometimes. Although I love their sounds and usually the compositions. Not so much the electronica stuff, which is ''pretty obvious'' stuff, but things like Pyramid Song with nice jazz/classical influences. I can't connect with Radiohead on an emotional level anymore, but I admire their musicianship. |
||||||||

|
|
ahaha, i can see that erasure things happening Im looking forward to this, im guessing there will be some wierd electronic stuff on this along with some solo accoustic songs (shite that makes it sound like The Campfire Headphase). Im guessing Ill spin it more often than THC. Thom York Vs. Board of Canada- round I |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, it's like it's all in one colour, in a way. different hues of one colour. some of the songs are brilliant, like you say, "pyramid song" or "morning bell" (the Kid A version, that is), but overall.. |

Am I missing something? Does that website do anything? |

Radiohead made superb indie rock songs: not much comes close to my ears. The IDM-lite they've been pedling since (and including) Kid A, however, has been rather mediocre. Nice enough stuff, but there are dozens of artists who do it better. If this is an opportunity for Thom to go and do his Warp/Kraftwerk inspired noodlings, without meaning the next Radiohead album will be in a similar vein, I'm all for it. Please, please, please, go back to being a proper band and give us another Bends, or Ok Computer. Thanks. |

well i disagree, hail to the thief is very different in the way the songs are thought. but yeah it's boring. i think the problem is that they stopped having that obsession about not failing. and stoppped trying to be perfect. |

When you have had 32 of your closest friend die of Thom Yorke related accidents, then, you can begin commenting on things like this. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I personally do not like the "superb indie rock songs" that radiohead have made, I on the other hand love Kid-A Amnesiac I might be wrong and Hail to the thief I guess if old Thomy goes his accoustic or "superb indie rock song" ways, i just have to live. |

What's all this crap I hear about Radiohead signed to Warp. What is this dreadful rumour based on??? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i fully agree with qrter on this one ive pretty much had it theyre overated |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, but you like my music so that shows how bad your taste is. :S :P :D Kid A is a gateway to the hellish world of injecting Drukqs into your eyeballs. When is "We are not People" out? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

I do LOVE YOUR MUCIS !! "I am NOT people" EP is yet to have a street date as of yet. |

this was the original rumour posted on ateaseweb forum on 19th of april: "A good friend of mine who works at the Vital Distribution (the company that deals with the physical distribution of all Xl Recordings and Warp releases) told me today that Thom Yorke is almost guaranteed to release a solo record on XL and that Radiohead are in talks to sign a new deal with Warp records... now he might have been pulling my leg but he was fucking convincing. Anybody else heard such rumours?? according to my friend the solo deal is closest to being inked.." |
||||||||

Isnt his solo cd going to be on shelves Fall 2006 ? |

Radiohead are a victim of their own brilliant with regard to httt. Which actually has some of their best songs on it but it's two tracks too long. Kid-A / Amnesiac aren't meant to be "electronic" albums, they are all about flow and mood and there is a lot of acoustic instruments on them. The synths sound ancient as well id sooner compare them to Can than Aphex. I saw the acoustic gig at koko and the new rhead album is going to be back to the guitars but with nice big bass grooves and funky phil drums. can't fucking wait and this album is going to be good as well, Cymbal Rush was played at koko and is a great song. so glad theyre back! |
||||||||

Definitely some Kraut influence on Kid A. More Kraut than eye dee yem. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
One of the reasons Kid a´s synths sound ancient: Indeed, hail to the thief...... |
