Radiohead's debut album, Pablo Honey, is a promising collection that blends U2's anthemic ock with long, atmospheric instrumental passages and an enthralling triple-guitar attack that is alternately gentle and bracingly noisy. The group has difficulty writing a set of songs that are as compelling as their sound, but when they do hit the mark -- such as on "Anyone Can Play Guitar," "Blow Out," and the self-loathing breakthrough single "Creep" -- the band achieves a rare power that is both visceral and intelligent.

One of my dearest friends, Ariadne, says she knows me so well, and it's true. We are best buddies, after all. Anyway, in order to demonstrate this fact, she sent me this absolute gem. It's an incredible key-frame animation built around Radiohead's Creep, a song I know many of you love. Coupled with this animation, this acoustic version of the song, I think you'll agree, has awesome power.I scre...

Okay, I'm sitting here listening to Radiohead. Trying to relax after a really bad day at work. Don't get me wrong... I love my job. But my coworker called in sick and I had to find people to answer the phone when I needed to use the restroom. Very nervewracking.So I'm sitting here and I hear this very large growl. I don't have anything that growls. My cats (Banshee and Flea) don't even gr...
For those of you Moggers who were at Coachella this year, you most likely heard Prince's take on Radiohead's "Creep"? Unfortunately for the rest of the world, Prince, as usual took down all footage of his Coachella performance captured by fans and uploaded on the net off YouTube almost immediately. The Purple One has always been uptight about copyright laws and footage of his being made availab...
Actually, we all know Radiohead does, in fact, not suck. They are about as far from sucking as any band on the planet…BUT…we thought it would be an interesting experiment for someone to go through one of their favorite bands' catalog and pick out their worst songs; which, although we knew it would be [...]

Very Long Time not typing... indeed.In fact I never missed being around since all posts came to my e-mail and during weekends I was able to read you.Last thing, I read was about Anna attending Reading. Cool stuff.After reading this, I remembered a couple of weeks before, where Radiohead visited my hometown and during second performance, they played Creep, which I think would not rare on this t...
