Official RADIOHEAD thread

QuoteThom and Jonny performed at the Big Ask benefit at Koko in London this evening. A couple of new songs were played, including "Arpeggi", "Bodysnatchers", and "Cymbal Rush". ... You can download "Arpeggi", "Bodysnatchers", and "Cymbal Rush" in this .rar file. (thanks to Jorge)

First of all, :] Second, the quality sucks, so :[

Third, fourth, and fifth:

I've heard a different version of Arpeggi, so there were no surprises here. The version I have goes on too long and is tedious. This is a bit better, but still the same. A rather sleepy track, not as beautiful as Sail to the Moon, not as eerie as Scatterbrain.

Bodysnatchers immediately reminded me of Go To Sleep and Lozenge of Love or A Reminder. Not sure which it resembles more, but either way, this one will be really fun.

Cymbal Rush reminded me of another song I can't quite put my finger on yet, with a similar piano sound. It'll come to me. This recording doesn't do it justice. This'll be really good once perfected in the studio.

Fuck.

Better version of Bodysnatchers.

Fuck.

Oh, and a clip of Cymbal Rush. (longer), too.

That would be a hell of a show to at least see them play Street Spirit, Everything Is In Its Right Place, We Suck Young Blood, or Pyramid Song. I can't get enough of those tunes.

well tickets were near impossible to get. but since i havent seen them since 1998, i decided to give it another chance and spent $340 for a pair on stubhub. i hope it's worth it.

what does everyone think of the new tracks?
i've only heard one so far.

modage · May 09, 2006, 07:10:58 PM

Thom is sounding incredibly flat. He has three weeks to get his act together!!!

tpfkabi · May 10, 2006, 09:47:41 PM

of what i've downloaded, (not all the new ones yet) 15 Step is the standout for me.

Sunrise · May 10, 2006, 09:57:35 PM

15 Step is great. I can't believe the vocals will remain exactly as they are, but Bodysnatchers works well for me.

tpfkabi · May 11, 2006, 10:01:18 PM

i'm liking House of Cards with the full band.

samsong · May 12, 2006, 02:46:24 PM

so let's get an official headcount... not that i necessarily want to meet you guys but who's going to go nuts on the 25th to buy tickets for when they're playing in LA? and which night are you gonna go for? saturday is ideal methinks, but it'll probably be impossible.

modage · May 12, 2006, 04:54:45 PM

methinks impossible about sums it up.
