Quote from: Greenplastic and NMEAccording to this week's Radiohead article in NME, Thom was nervous about a possible US backlash because of his views on President Bush.

From NME-
"The band have spent much of the autumn on tour in America supporting their current album 'Hail To The Thief'. Thom said that because of his public anti-war stance and the perceived anti-Bush album title, the band feared some kind of backlash.

"We were sort of worried about the reaction to what we had been saying when we went over there," Thom told NME.COM. "Colin (Greenwood, bassist), whose wife is American, didn't see a problem at all. It turned out that he was right, when you met people face to face the resistance, disgust and dismay was obvious."

Thom said that some of the band's older songs have taken on new meanings. He continued: "When we played 'No Surprises' a huge cheer would go up every night over the line 'Bring down the government / They don't speak for us..'. Although in Houston, Texas it was a little err...muted shall we say"

What's up, Pedro

I don't recall it being "muted"... I just think they were expecting too much from a bunch of lazy Texans.

In pitch dark I go walking in your landscape
Broken branches trip me as I speak
Just cos you feel it doesn't mean it's there

Shaftr, if I click on the download button, will it be some shitty quality internet streamy thing, or like a wonderous cd? If like a wonderous cd, you are a very beautiful person to share this!!

Well, a BBC radio show is finishing in about 35 minutes that had Thom and Jonny doing an acoustic set. I missed it. Anybody have any help files?

modage · December 09, 2003, 03:54:33 PM

i bought one of these in high school at some mom and pop record shop. its not a real album, just some fan compiled bootleg of acoustic performances.

"Forbidden

anyway, yeah, this is some unofficial bootleg shit. probably just thrown together from different performances that happened to have an accoustic song or two.
