Been on a documentary rage the last couple of days! This one was really cool. Edited in a very glitchy way that really gave you a feel for how the band was dealing with the touring/record promotion process. A very different side of the touring story than you usually get- there were no direct interviews with the band, only tapings and recordings of the band performing and getting interviewed for various magazines and radio stations. A lot of cool demo takes/soundchecks/live performances of songs. Early versions of Nude and Life in a Glasshouse, as well as a version of unreleased song Big Boots, stand out as highlights in this category. I’d recommend this to any moderate-big fan of Radiohead, but others probably wouldn’t enjoy it so much.

’s The Funeral over Radiohead’s OK Computer as top album of the last 15 years in the pitchfork reader’s poll. Probably since The Suburbs is about a suburb of Houston, but still a little surprising

What happens a lot with songwriting is that a melody or rhythm or something stays with you like catching a cold. And during that time what happens is that I can then fit things on to it, it all fits and glues together. … It’s not a pleasant experience necessarily. This was a deeply unpleasant experience, actually writing the words for this track and the state of mind I was in, but what constantly carries it through is the fact that I’m sitting underneath this beautiful melody that Johnny’s written. It makes it okay to be in that state of mind.Thom Yorke on writing ‘A Wolf at the Door’via xfm.co.uk➜
