Listening Party #9 - In Rainbows by Radiohead - start playing at 8pm on 18th May

DiscoStu

And there we have it. Thank you all for joining in tonight, I thoroughly enjoyed that!

This is a must-see following this listening party. In Rainbows, live, from The Basement. I can't even guess how many times I've watched this! The band are just next-level for me.

Well, that was splendid. 

I think IR is probably my favourite Radiohead album. The first couple of tracks are ok, but everything else is stunning and it's a proper cohesive album. 

Nice one @DiscoStu ;

Excellent choice @DiscoStu!

 @Devil#20 so you're challenging us to find a good disco album?

Cheers @DiscoStu for hosting that. I'm glad it wasn't disco. 

Thanks for listening! And your 3 tracks are great choices.

Might have to do a bit of Rick Rolling to get him to turn up though!

Tell him it's Stone Roses night then whip out the Bee Gees last minute.

I'm going to give the album another listen tomorrow. I've done that with all the ones I haven't heard before on the listening parties.

You've got me right in to Disintegration. It's on quite a bit on our house now..

They're my favourite band and one of the reasons for that is that they demand repeat listening to discover everything. It doesn't always work (The King Of Limbs album is a mess) but when it does, it genuinely moves me.

So @digitalkettle if you hadn't really listened to much Radiohead after Kid A, does that mean you haven't seen the video for "Burn The Witch"?

I like King of Limbs as well. It's hard work, but it's not a mess :P

Missed this one, I was in the office today.  Maybe I'll listen to it another time.

If you haven't before then I'd definitely recommend it.

The Wicker Man is my favourite film and I grew up loving Camberwick Green, Chigley and Trumpton.  Burn The Witch is the best music video ever made.

They've had a bunch of bloody good videos... Just, Fake Plastic Trees, Karma Police, No Surprises, There There, Go To Sleep, Lotus Flower etc. 

I feel like it's not something bands do any more, but maybe that's just perception because there aren't 20 TV channels showing them on rotation

This video is good, just came out the other week
