from the description:
Here's a new track called Staircase, taken from our upcoming 'From The Basement' session.

And no, you're not seeing double. The doppelganger drummers are myself and Clive Deamer. Clive has long been one of my favourite drummers and so I was really excited when he agreed to perform with us. Hope you like what we've all done.

This shit is awesome, bro.

It'll be interesting to see what else comes from this From the Basement performance. It was supposed to be King of Limbs performed in it's entirety, yet the first release is a new fucking song!!!

Fucking Finally!

I've been waiting on this since it was debuted over a year ago as "Chris Hodge" in NYC at that show with Atoms for Peace.

What a great fucking jam.

Musically, it reminds me of Can.

dopeness....

I think I liked one song on that album.

I'll give you that one.

Infact, that's the only song I liked on the album.

Or 'Codex.'

Or 'Little by Little.'

Hmph.

Seems the King of Limbs was pretty strong after all, wasn't it?

I'm really tired of kids complaining because it was "short."

~Austin

Do your friends there tell you you're right about everything music-related?

~Austin

Hail to the Thief.

With that said, I really enjoyed Thom's solo album.

And it's an opinion.

As far as your facebook jab...

You're a "Charter member" on Okayplayer.

And you're still here.

And these boards aren't what they once were.

And I KNOW this first hand, despite my post count.

So you can keep that, bud.

Why are you still commenting?

Don't be a contrarian twat.

Sure, I may have been here since '99. But I've struggled to make it to the (contextually speaking) low post count that I have. Posting (admittedly esoteric bullshit) on the once great —and still occasionally engaging— music discussion forum the Lesson really doesn't compare to the disgusting self-fellatio that Farcebook always has been.

And Hail is overrated.

~Austin

I haven't liked an "album" since...

I never said I haven't liked individual songs.

And Hail might be overrated.

It's certainly not my favorite Radiohead album.

That would be Kid A.

And I don't care if that is stereotypical.

It's my opinion.

At this point I'd rather listen to The National...

if we're talking entire albums.

That's me.

I'll ignore the "Don't be a contrarian twat" comment.

You show yourself with that.

You're being a contrarian twat by coming into an otherwise Radiohead appreciation post all like, 'Yeah, they kind of suck.'

We've all done it, man. Just don't deny that that's what you did.

Sorry I used the word "twat" if that's the part that offended you.

And you mentioned Hail first. Just trying to keep things relevant.

Reading comprehension does not come into play here. Take responsibility for your own words. You say you don't like albums. This equates that you don't like a majority percentage of the band's output. You can like songs, absolutely. But you yourself said you don't like albums. What am I to surmise? I'm not really here to digest semantics this much, but surely you can see my point?

And yes, Kid A *is* rather awesome, isn't it?

~Austin

Like I said, you're just showing yourself.

Thing is though, I don't think they suck.

I didn't say they suck.

If it's not reading comprehesion...

you have an assumption problem.

Staircase is dope to me.

I shouldn't have to explain this.

You can clearly read it for yourself.

Did I enjoy The King Of Limbs?

Not really.

Someone pointed out Separator.

I agreed.

i just haven't heard that from any radiohead fans... i think it entered a 3-way tie for my favorite RH album... and maybe the *best* or most "radiohead"..

not so much as a whole.

And it wasn't for lack of trying.

I actually bought a hard copy...

AFTER downloading it for free.

it's a compact and focused listen... i guess i can kind of see it not *hitting* audiences on a first listen, but this is the kind of shit i wanted to spend some time w/.. there are def. a lot of great great moments on the album.. and i think the transition from the end of Separator to the beginning of Bloom almost forces a back-to-back listen each time i play the album.. and it's short enough for me to be ok w/ doing that... i never understood ppl arguing over album length.. "only 8 songs?? they just didn't give me enough for my money!".. that's like saying a painting is worse than others because it happens to be smaller.. i don't get that logic..

When does this session debut?

Didn't find anything about when, though.

sessions... sounds like they're gonna capture the King of Limbs sound pretty well (not that i ever expect anything different from them)

Does anyone have a link for the King of Limbs album? If you do, in-box me with that joint...Thanks....

I don't feel the music as much...to me they are the perfect headphone music...seeing them just changes the vibe for me for some reason...

I like how Thom still uses that old-ass ribbon mic though
and if you are a drummer you gotta love the SPDS...I love that machine

they're one of the few bands that i can't decide whether they're better on record or on stage... seriously amazing stuff... i HIGHLY recommend catching them in concert

I saw them once and loved it...
but I have seen a few studio performances of theirs on TV and it just changes the way i listen to them in particular, i don't know why...i'm sure its just me...I'm not knocking their live performance though...they are great in concert...

they can play the songs they've recorded fairly capably true to the record with very little deviation & Thom wiggles around a bit while there's lots of lights.

If you love Radiohead, you'll enjoy them, if you're just a curious music fan & go to see it expecting some major revelation from one of this generation's most 'important' bands I'd say it'd be pretty easy to end up dissapointed.

The Hail to the Thief tour was nearly as mediocre as that album but luckily they tossed in some of their better earlier records into the mix.

In Rainbows tour was much better to me, probably a combination of a much better venue (Hollywood Bowl>>>>>>Camden NJ E-Center), better production values & better album to support.

i love the album as it is, but i realllly dig the live rendition... great 'traditional' compliment to the album... the guitars completely reinvent these songs.. i'm very impressed w/ this

cos they wanna broadcast it on tv here in america soon.

dammit.

really wanted to watch this.
