Performance of the Day | Radiohead - Creep, Live ’94 (great version)

  . . . . . about the time I first heard this wonderful local band!

Creep - Radiohead 

Top Hat Crew's "Live Music Archives"

Radiohead - High and Dry, one of the songs the band played on their 2 Meter Session, Filmed on February 27, 1995.

 There's a tale to tell here. . . . . . 

so walking through Oxford after meeting my old boss and mentor from the Ley Community  where I worked, Dave Vanderhoven, and  I had just left him and walked back through the town centre to get to my scooter when . . . . . 

I spotted Thom Yorke who often can be seen walking around the town centre and frequenting the local central shops (Marks & Sparks since you ask! go and he also regally came into my Blackwell Art Shop - interesting taste in art as you might imagine) and the busker ahead of us spots and him and started playing this song . . . . its took me a little while to clock it but I swear as Thom overtook me in the Cornmarket you could see his body language change to that of a smile! . . . . . . it was High & Dry! Clever!       Funny! He did a real passable version of it too! Imagine if it had been crap!?     It wasn’t!

Imagine walking the streets of your home town and hearing a busker sing one of your songs!?!

Sound of The Day : RADIOHEAD : SEPARATOR [from - The King Of Limbs] 2011

It's like I'm falling out of bed

From a long, weary dream

The sweetest flowers and fruits hang from trees

Falling off the giant bird that's been carrying me

It's like I'm falling out of bed

From a long and weary dream

Just exactly as I remember

Every root

Every gesture

I'm a heart in cold ground

Like I'm falling out of bed

From a long and weary dream

Finally I'm free of all the weight I've been carrying

As my woman blows her cover

In the eye of the beholder

I'm a fish now out of water

Falling off a giant bird that's been carrying me

I fell open

I laid under

At the tip count

I was just a number

I wanna tip it over

And lay back under

And if you think this is over

Then you're wrong

If you think this is over

Then you're wrong

If you think this is over

Then you're wrong

(Wake me up, wake me up)

If you think this is over

Then you're wrong

(Wake me up, wake me up)

Like I'm falling out of bed

From a long, weary dream

The sweetest flowers and fruits hang from trees

When I ask you again

When I ask you again

Wake me up

Wake me up

Wake me up

Wake me up

Wake me up

Wake me up

Wake me up

Wake me up

Thanks to American Primitives for the reminder

Radiohead :: Kid A Mnesia

Posted on December 10, 2021

The retrospective box set Kid A Mnesia released last month reunites the two albums recorded during these sessions, Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001), along with a cassette of B-sides and a disc of alternates and outtakes. For the faithful, it’s a long-awaited valediction of the band’s most creative and far-reaching period. For the uninitiated, it also offers a perfect place to start. After October 2000, the band was never the same again. Kid A Mnesia is the sound of the band we talk about when we talk about Radiohead being born.

Live at the OpenAir St Gallen, Sittertobel, St Gallen, Switzerland; July 2, 2016. Very good FM broadcast.In May, 2016, Radiohead released their ninth studio album, A Moon Shaped Pool. Sam Richards of the NME described A Moon Shaped Pool as “an album of eerie, elusive beauty that is strange, shimmering and uncertain all at the same time”. Andy Beta of Rolling Stone described it as “a haunting, stunning triumph” and Radiohead’s “most gorgeous and desolate album to date”, praising its timbres and melodies. Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote for AllMusic that “there’s a melancholic comfort to its ebb and flow, a gentle rocking motion that feels comforting; it’s a tonic to the cloistered, scattered King of Limbs and even the sleek alienation of Kid A.”+ + + + +
