With a Jab at Bush for Good Measure

Radiohead performed "live" on Conan this past Earth Day, playing a terrific rendition of "House of Cards" from their London studio.

I've never seen Thom Yorke live up close, so to watch his lazy eye in (in)action like that is pretty freaky. Still, the guy's a genius.



Best random fact I ever read: 22% of the letters in Thom Yorke's name are superfluous.

It's Kinda Like the Pink Floyd/Wizard of Oz Thing...

...but not really. It's more like only having two copies of the Pink Floyd.

One of the admins on the Keep Music Alive forums posted this little ditty, stating that two separate copies of Radiohead's seminal Kid A "will sync up and compliment each other" if played 17 seconds apart. Interesting concept, right?

Even though I'm one of the masses who's guilty of Thom Yorke idolatry, I still kinda find this hard to believe. Granted, it is a really cool idea that I wouldn't put past a genius like Monsieur Yorke to use.

I'll admit I haven't really played with this in depth and thus haven't really tried to incorporate the nuances of the songs in my bitching, but here's the thing: any song should sync up with itself approximately 17 seconds in. It's called rhythm.

Seriously, though, if somebody can attest to the aforementioned nuances, by all means, blow me. Away. Blow me away.
