Radiohead Start Recording
Radiohead-heads out there can start to rejoice: Guitarist Jonny Greenwood wrote a message on the band's website telling fans that Radiohead is back in the studio, recording a follow up to 2003's Hail to the Thief. Enigmatic as always, Greenwood only makes a quick nod to Radiohead's recording duties with the opening line, "We're back in the studio and all is well." He then proceeds to write several paragraphs about blue rat shit and dub reggae. The preceding post (on the website) by Thom Yorke is even more baffling, "I could write about watching V festival," York writes, "or how amazing the sky is outside with the moon hiding behind fast moving clouds and the bats swooping close to your head." Thom then closes his post saying, "I have no idea what I'm talking about." Neither do I.

the fact that radiohead are back to recording is good news. whatever i heard of hail to the thief, i didnt like, as much as the bends and ok comp. at least. thom and the boys...lets get some rock back into it.
"the bends" and "ok comp" (spin mags best album of last 25 years) are classics already. it would be a tough task for them to get anywhere closer to these two.
"kid a" is one you should try, if you have not. it did not go down with their core fan base. but for me it ranks very close to the other two (musical progression after all). it was an experimental but classy electro-punk music. radiohead afterall.
