unless you've read some little news thing on a fansite, you probably won't know the answer to the first question, but for the fila brazillia remix of 'climbing up the walls' were the vocals rerecorded for that remix?
-
why the FUCK was 'worrywort' left off any album ?! amnesiac was sortof like the songs left off of kid a .. and this was left off of amnesiac.. making amazing song like a kid a c-side!!!.. why!!!?? it would've been perfect for kid a.. maybe it could've replaced 'motion picture soundtrack' .. I'm not really into that song
there needs to be a compilation of 2000 - unreleased tracks.. some of them are more impressive than the album tracks
-
what is this michael stipe song 'leave' ? is that a radiohead song that he recorded or something? I have an mp3 of it.. and I know many times people turn retarded when it comes time to provide the file information on mp3s.. that is credited as 'radiohead/michael stipe'.. this is most likely very incorrect
..right? it sounds it

sure they were.. #1 is an artistic decision: a) it's a matter of personal preference for songs, although i do agree it's one of their best b-sides, and b) it has a lot to do with album flow. #2 isn't a question and everyone knows the band's been considering a b-side album since.. well since always. but the idea of a THIRD disc of material from the kid a sessions just wasn't right for them obviously. #3 is a really dumb question, like people asking about aphex twin's tetris song or "outside kickass violin solo".. sorry, i didn't want to be mean, but you kinda twisted my arm..

this is annoying.. first of all I wasnt looking for an answer to the thing about 'worrywort' ..my second question .. that was just like a 'who's with me on this?!' thing.. and dont tell me about personal preference and album flow I know that.. you're not teachning me anything.. I wasnt' asking about whether or not they are doing an album of bsides.. I said they should. my first question was whether or not thom yorke's vocals were rerecorded for that remix.. not a dumb question
and as far as the michael stipe thing is concerned.. I said I doubted it was for real, but was just checking.. maybe the bass player was playing the bass on it and the drummer was drumming.. I was trying to find out if there was any radiohead connection at all .. like one that wouldnt be immediately obvious... something that linar-note checking would answer
they were not dumb questions

i missed the first question actually, that's a good one... i have no insight into what the answer is
anyway i just get sick of people being lazy about radiohead hoaxes.. ie: "wish you were here" by radiohead (it's really sparklehorse with extremely minimal contributions from thom singing over the phone)

1) the vocals for the fila brazillia rmx weren't re-recorded, at least to my knowledge. in all likelyhood, the fila folks were provided with dry vocals, stripped of all the effects (echoes & whatnot) which were added in post-production to the original track, which is why they sound different in the remix.
2) agreed. 'worryworth' is an excellent track, as are a number of 'amnesiac' b-sides, which in my humble opinion would've served far better replacing a lot of the shit tracks which went on the album-proper. 'kinetic', 'fog' & 'cuttooth' are also solid! the only crap b-sides which radiohead made to date are 'trans-atlantic drawl', 'the amazing sound of orgy' & 'fast track'.
3) the song 'leave' is from the R.E.M. album 'new adventures in hi-fi' from 1996 and was not co-written by anyone from radiohead.
HOWEVER, an REM fanclub video that came in the Christmas package for 1998 includes 2 performances that took place at the Tibetan Freedom concert in New York. REM perform E-Bow the Letter. Radioheads Thom Yorke sings lead vocals on that song. Stipe is singing back vocals. The second song is a Radiohead song Lucky. Michael Stipe sings lead vocals on that song. These videos were only sent out to REM fanclub members.
so there ya go.

ah hah..
I didnt like kinetic.. what they were trying w/ the drums wasnt working.. however I do love the amazing sounds of orgy and yeah, trans-atlantic drawl kinda sucks
I have a few more dumb quesitons: what is so "special" about the special edition amnesiac and kid a cds? I found some in a local sam goody and I was wondering if there were any good reason to get them

the 'kid a' special edition is basically a little book with artwork which isn't included in the regular release, plus some sort of a radiohead-ish storyline - done by the ever awesome stanley donwood with contributions from thom yorke.
not sure about the 'amnesiac' special edition, other than it's in a different format - it may or may not have different artwork from the regular release.
there's also a special fold-out map edition of 'hail to the thief' as well.

i'm sure you've been there before, but
ateaseweb.com
is by far the best site for all your radiohead needs. you can find out pretty much anything you ever wanted to know on there.

yeah I didnt think this hail to the theif thing is anything to write home aobut though.. some girl spilled like white zinfendel on it when I had a party like the day I got it.. they wouldnt take it let me exchange it because the cd wasnt damaged enough.. and they didnt have any sp. editions for me to replace it w/ .. so I had to buy another one somewhere else where I was given a HTTT 7" promo w/ one of the GREATEST b-sides and coolest radiohead songs, "paperbag writer" so it all worked out ok in the end.. plus now I can use the map as a poster. --that part didnt get "wined"
I just listened to 'cuttooth' for the first time and I was quite surprised.. it sounds nothing like amnesiac and like nothing they've ever done before.. it's very .. like american ahaha
I heard like neil young, the rolling stones, pearl jam and a lot of other groups in that. it wasnt very radiohead at all..

yup that's a great site
I think 'where bluebirds fly' has cool music and everything but the singing is godawful.. there doesnt seem to be any direction there.. it's also like a venetian snares song in one respect.. the melody and its timing has nothing to do w/ the beat and what's going on in the background

did they make the u.s. copies of 'HTTT' copy protected?
i guess a lot of people are bitching about that - the copy i bought has glitches and skips in places because of it, and this girl whom i know who works at a record store told me that a lot of people were returning it because it wouldn't play in their portable CD players, or their car players, etc. i e-mailed the EMI quality control about it and they'll send me a proper copy.
'cuttooth' just sounds quite pop, i guess. i don't hear any pearl jam in there, or anything of the sort though. it's just more catchy than their usual stuff.

uh, it contains a self-initializing software - basically a media player of sorts - which prevents you from opening it up in other programs which may allow you to rip it to MP3. making an image copy is also not possible either, and if you record the audio to WAV, the sound quality is really shoddy.

"cuttooth" is a tribute to Neu! and they nail it
anyway, all your song answers could be found at ateaseweb.com and greenplastic.com.. if it's not listed as a radiohead b-side or live unreleased track then it's a hoax mp3

1) original vocal masters im sure. 2) all the songs for kid a amnesiac and the bsides were recorded in the same 18 month period. so theres a likeness to all of them...because they were done around the same time frame.
3) i dont know...i dont like rem.
