BBC - 6 Music - In Rainbows, in full
At the risk of turning this into the Radiohead or 6music blog, another story from the BBC 6music news website about the 'surprise' gig by Radiohead - who simply cannot resist yet another publicity stunt. The gig, which was originally booked for the Rough Trade East store, will be for around 200 people on a first come, first served basis for free - and no press, media etc. Yeah right.
The gig was moved to the 93 Feet East club down the road and fashionably late. The band played the whole of In Rainbows plus a few extras, probably to lift the mood at the end.
The gig 'review' from Lucy O'Doherty is both praising and sycophantic to the point of nausea - we have to remember that this still isn't a very good album. The music may be weird and interesting and 'breaking the mould' but a lot of it is washed with Thom Yorke's now infamous whiny vocals.
Right, there's only one thing for it...I need to listen to In Rainbows again to see what all the fuss is about.
