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.
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!!!

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.

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?

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"..
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..

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
32. "in concert is different" In response to Reply # 31
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
