I feel too old for festivals.

But then I'm too big a Radiohead fan, and not without complaining I bought a ticket for Lollapallooza Berlin, because I was not able to get any to see them in London. I'm from Brazil and I've just moved to London. I never thought that being here actually made it harder for you to get into concerts.

And then after living for about 6 months in what for my standards is absolutely freezing weather, I was craving the heat of the continent. And Berlin did not disappoint me. This was my second time there and this time I wanted a light-hearted visit, not war museums and educational Wall tours. So we stayed in a residential neighborhood, not the touristy areas, full of cafes and bars. It was hot and sunny. There was music in the air. We felt like if we wandered enough we would reach Copacabana beach. What a good vibe.

And then we went to see FC Union Berlin play football on Saturday, in a 4x0 match against the visiting team. Still not over the World Cup 7x1 Brazil fiasco, but it felt great to be in a stadium where people love football just that much. What a cool match. What great fans both teams had.

We spent the rest of the day wandering the town, tasting its tastes and walking its walks. It was love at second sight.

On Sunday, we ate some dust at the beautiful Treptower park to arrive at the main stage of Lolla, where we enjoyed the sight of young people dancing to some interesting new music throughout the afternoon. I was still feeling a little bit misplaced, but not for too long.

Festival goers in Germany are much more laid back then Radiohead die-hard fans in Brazil, so we were able to find a spot stuck to the rail to watch the show. Then more people my age started to pop up, some of them bringing their kids. When I saw the band in Sao Paulo back in 2009, I wasn't able to see much of what was going on at the stage, so to see Jonny, Tom and Ed all aligned in front of me was really a present from the gods. The music as I felt on my first time sounds even more beautiful live. I could go to this concert every night of my life.

Then Thom asked "how is your weekend?", it felt like a personal message, a wake-up call.

I was dragged all the way to Berlin, but in the end it was such a magic weekend.

You’re right, Thom. I have to get out more. I’m not that old. Thank you.

Here's our FINALIZED/UPGRADED cover of True Love Waits by Radiohead/Thom Yorke. All vocals were done by me and all guitars were played by my dad and other instruments were programmed by him. Interestingly, he also added a string section to our cover, so it's more like a 'full band version'. Hope you like it! This is one of my favourite songs ever.

All vocals were done by me. All guitars were played and other instruments were programmed by my dad. And of course, the original song is by Radiohead. Hope you like it.

Today was Mom's Day- and as a real radiohead's fan my mom deserved something special. I bought her a top and personalized it for her with some drawings I made on it with this...permanent special marker for clothes or so....And there is obviously A moon upon a stick, and Thom...Climbing up...not the walls this time!...Or may be a somersault...as you like, as you like...

AND THIS IS WHAT'S HAPPENING 

RIGHT

Para cualquier otra banda este tema seria parte de un disco y primer corte. Para una banda como Radiohead no, es un B-Side....La vanguardia es asi.

Radiohead - Fog

Hay un niñito
que corre alrededor de esta casa.
Nunca se va,
nunca sa irá.
Y la niebla emana de las alcantarillas,
y brilla en la oscuridad.

Bebés cocodrilos de las alcantarillas
crecen rápidamente,
crecen rápidamente.
Cualquier cosa quieras se puede hacer.
¿Cómo fue que te echaste a perder?

¿Te echaste a perder?
¿Te echaste a perder?
Hay cosas que nunca se quitan.
¿Te echaste a perder?
¿Te echaste a perder?

well,to finish this, you're going to see him with Radiohead,at roseland ballroom,2011

this is 15 step and 'fucking dirty myxomatosis':

now,can you feel it?

YOU HAVE IT INSIDE OF YOU.

This one is a little piece of an interview with Clive,

Trent Moorman: - Radiohead is one of the few bands on earth right now where the shows are truly experiences, dumb as that sounds. People are so into the music, and the music is so heightened, and lucid, and multi-leveled. It's a holy thing. What's that like? Does it ever get old? Are there ever moments where you're like, "Oh my God, Thom Yorke is Mozart"?

Clive: - It's true that there is something very moving when a large body of people come together with such heartfelt love of music, and when the music is this good it's impossible to not be moved by all those happy-spirited faces. However, Thom's always shaking his ass around the stage, so I soon remember where I am. I doubt Mozart did that, and Thom doesn't read music, so does that answer your question?

well...   

personally....

i ....

i like thom's ass!

Day 168!

It's available now to read. 

http://365stories.co.uk/2012/03/23/day-168-lord-of-the-bees-part-1/

a fan's tribute to everyone who feels lost in thoughts and finds an escape with the help of some good music

(you know what I'm talking about ;) x )

I am so pissed off right now.  I was there (online) the SECOND the tix were made "available"...and nothing!  They were all "gone".  Of course, I go to craigslist and voila!  There are thousands of tickets available at at least 5x the original price.

Believe me, I am not a cynic.  But I do know this can be done better.  And at least some of the blame, even if it's a tiny amount, has to go to Thom and the boys.  Yes.  They're way past the point where they need the system.  They don't need the system.  And they're supposed to be against the system, anyway.

And BTW, how in the world did some of you get pre-sale tix??  I visited waste-central and radiohead.com starting on Wednesday religiously and I never saw any tix available.  Where the heck were they?

I can't wait.

From : "Consequenceofsound.net"

"Like an itchy character in a Stephen King novel, Thom Yorke keeps coming back. This time, he spoke with Rolling Stone, where he laid one bombshell piece of news: Radiohead will record in December and January.

“We can get things together quite rapidly at the moment,” Yorke said, name dropping a new track titled “Come to Your Senses”. “We have this version of it. It’s a five-minute rehearsal, but it has the essence of what we need.” He stated they have a “few of those”, and added, “It would be fun to have them ready when we go to play next year. I don’t know how we would release them. It would be nice to make it all part of the flow and just enjoy it – not think about it too much.”

Speaking of touring, Yorke explained that putting the The King of Limbs material on-stage was harder than they imagined. He digressed on working with additional drummer Clive Deamer, adding: “In ‘Bloom,’ when Clive goes from the electro pads to the live kit, and my guitar shoots up an octave, I’m like, ‘Wow!’ When we came up with that, it was like, ‘OK, we got it.’” Deamer is a crucial key in bringing Limbs‘ lush recordings to life, but also one of the reasons the band hasn’t toured yet, due to his commitments with Portishead. As Radiohead’s manager Chris Hufford explained, “He wasn’t available and it’s why we couldn’t go out on tour until next year.”

On the topic of Atoms for Peace, Yorke insisted that there will be an LP before the end of the year, though he also added, “It’s not good enough yet.” The magazine reached Nigel Godrich for comment, who reiterated, “The idea was to generate the music, then record the band. We did that. Some of it worked. We also went back to some of the electronic stuff. It’s still in flux. We’re waiting for the lightning bolt to strike.”

So to recap: Radiohead will record in two months, Radiohead will tour next year, and Atoms for Peace will put out a record. Okay, now are you happy?"

So you're probably all familiar with the infamous vagabond Thom Yorke, and I'm sure many of you look up to him as a brilliant songwriter and musician.

Now most people would think this is a trivial matter, and I should really be devoting my time to more useful things like finding a cure for cancer, getting involved in charity work or improving my life in any shape or form.

However, as I was casually browsing deadairspace, as you do, I came across this.

'its about time you showed up for work'

This of course was written by Mr Yorke himself. There isn't an apostrophe in sight! Never mind the fact that the full stop seems to be missing. Isn't the 'I' in 'its' supposed to be capitalised?

His singing voice, his song-writing genius... It all counts for nothing. How can we trust the word of a man who can't even use the correct punctuation.

My solution?

Let's all watch reruns of X Factor instead.

thnks a lot my queen/creep/twitterfriends !!

thm new look !! Mr. Magoo chic !!

Setlist

1. The Eraser
2. The Clock
3. Harrowdown Hill
4. I Might Be Wrong
5. The Gloaming
6. Reckoner
7. Black Swan
8. Planet Telex
9. Give Up The Ghost
10. Cymbal Rush
11. Everything In Its Right Place
12. Airbag

With seven studio albums with his band and one solo album, the ‘diminutive in size but monumental in status’ singer took to stage in front of a capacity crowd.

Playing at least one song from each album (excluding, Pablo Honey), the Oxford legend began with three tracks from The Eraser, his 2006 solo album. Self titled ‘The Eraser’ kicked things off before Global Warming warning ‘The Clock’. The “angriest song I’ve ever written”, ‘Harrowdown Hill’, about the death of scientist David Kelly followed before Radiohead tracks old and new.

The old came in the form of The Bends opener ‘Planet Telex’ stripped down to a piano and vocals only performance. Amnesiac’s ‘I Might Be Wrong’ and ‘Everything In It’s Right Place’ from Kid A were given an incredible welcome from an awestruck crowd, as was ‘The Gloaming’ from Hail To The Thief.

Smoke swept across the stage as ‘Reckoner’ brought the set bang up to date before Thom started looping a vocal of “Don’t Hurt Me” through an acoustic driven track. The hushed silence meant only one thing, confirmed by the singer, “That was a new Radiohead song”. Six words to warm the hearts of music fans the world over.

The audience was sent back in time to 1997 with the closer, an incredible acoustic version of ‘Airbag’ from OK Computer.

As Thom Yorke left the stage, a mass of happy smiley faces contemplated what is easily one of the highlights of this festival year.
