SO MANY NOTES

Day 17 - Favourite Ed’O’Brien quote/moment
I love the almost ambient guitar that he plays during “Lucky”. I also really like whenever I hear him doing backing vocals for Thom: it’s almost as if it reminds me that these a human’s playing it. Thom’s vocals be very ethereal, so I suppose Ed’s vocals bring it back down to earth.

Day 16 - Favorite Colin Greenwood quote/moment
The bass line to the “The National Anthem”. :P Other favourites are “I Might Be Wrong” and “Exit Music (For a Film)” (bass doesn’t come in until about 2:45 on that one). Colin really is a very talented bassist and the bass line truly completes “The National Anthem”. PS: In the studio version of “The National Anthem”, the bass is...

Day 15 - Favorite Jonny Greenwood quote/moment
At the beginning of “The National Anthem”, Jonny uses some old electronics. Some versions are transistor radios, some (like the one I linked) has an old TV… Anyway, my point is that it’s a perfect example of his strange genius. It works so perfectly in the song. It’s great.
I also absolutely love how he “dances with his hair” in his live performances....

Day 14 - Favorite Thom Yorke quote/moment
I absolutely love his sustained note in “Nude”. You can hear it just after 2:50 in this video. It’s just such a beautiful note and the wordless notes he sings after it are also very lovely.
PS: listen to that whole performance, it’s fantastic. ;)

Hey, Tumblr... Dunno if you realise,
but instead of posting images of text on plain white backgrounds… You can actually post them as text posts. Yeah. Crazy stuff. Just thought I would make sure you knew.

Do not know what all the troubles are for...”

Day 13 - Favorite album cover
The King of Limbs. :) Always thought it was a cool cover. :D
Day 12 - Favorite Radiohead live moment
The drumming in the live version of “There There”. It’s mesmerising and amazing.
Day 11 - Favorite Radiohead music video
I love the music video for “Lotus Flower”. Probably because Thom’s dancing is so quirky and weird, just like my dancing. :P
Day 10 - Favorite song from “The King of Limbs”
(Yes I know I haven’t done it for a few days. :P)
Almost definitely Separator. It was my favourite track the first time I listened to the album and it’s still my favourite track today. It’s just a really fantastic song. :D
