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 had seen that...dark

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.

Remember this? https://www.spin.com/2016/05/radiohead-burn-the-witch-video-breach-copyright-trumpton-animator/

I do, but it all blew over didn't it?  I'd like to think if Gordon Murray himself was still around he'd have taken it as a compliment.

Yeah I don't think anything came of it. Truly their reaction was a bigger "tarnishing of the brand"

Who’s taking the next one then? The waiting’s killing me.

Who hasn't had a go yet? @TTony has gone quiet on the last couple.

Anyone want to host?

Yup, missed the last couple unfortunately.

Happy to suggest something if you like, though it’s not likely to be any of this modern 90’s/00’s stuff ...

Sounds good to me.

I'd be happy to suggest & host some future ones. Is the idea things people have generally heard of but maybe won't have listened to the specific album, or won't have recently?

Frankly any excuse to intentionally sit down and listen to some good music is always a good thing

Fuengi

Brilliant, are either of you able to do next Wednesday?

Either really. I think we've had a good mix this far. I've got a few more recent / lesser known bands in mind for my next selection having played it pretty safe first time around.

Next week is likely out for me - I think I'll be in Kuwait...

I think the deal is that you have to host/curate the session...it's not too onerous

I'm around the next two Wednesdays but not the one after the

I can do next Weds.

Just trying to work out what's best to play. 

Classic 60s/70s rock, OR something more "energetic" from the mid-70s, OR maybe something a little more modern but unusual that you might not have heard so regularly ...

Fuengi

So @TTony next Wednesday and @roberty the following week ok?

Just go with whatever you fancy, don't try to please everyone.

Here you goes ...

It could have been so many other things (sure it's the same for all of us), so I've gone with an old -  very old - favourite.
