...is going to fucking rule. If you haven't got any of the new tracks then I strongly recommend There There, Wolf At The Door, Where I End And You Begin, and Myxomatosis.

Sample lyrics (Myxomatosis):

the mongrel cat came home
holding half a head
proceeded to show it off
to all his new-found friends
he said i been where i liked
i slept with who i liked
she ate me up for breakfast
in screwed me in a vice
but now i don't know why i feel so tongue-tied

i sat in the cupboard
and wrote it down neat
they were cheering and waving
cheering and waving
twitching and salivating like with myxomatosis
but it got edited fucked up
strangled beaten up
used in a photo in time magazine
buried in a burning black hole in devon
and i don't know why i feel so tongue-tied
i don't know i feel so skinned alive

How the fuck does he come up with such original lyrics?

I agree, the new songs are good except for We Suck Young Blood.

It's interesting, two lines from Myxomatosis come straight from Cuttooth. They were more original the first time around:

"I don’t know why I feel so tongue-tied,
I don’t know why I feel so skinned alive."

Really? I love that song. You can imagine Thom sitting in some Transylvanian castle.

Sail To The Moon is also beautiful.

Radiohead have regained favourite band status.

The stereotypical vampire-music sound is what drives me away from that song. It reminds me of watching Saturday morning cartoons 10 years ago.

Did you like Pyramid Song?

Pyramid Song's not a favorite of mine, but it's an alright song. I think it has better lyrics than We Suck Young Blood, and I don't automatically associate the atmosphere its music creates with Saturday morning cartoons, so it's a lot easier for me to accept it as a Radiohead song.

I love Pyramid Song, it's just so atmospheric. Are you more of a Bends/OK Computer fan?

I am in love with Radiohead's first three cd's. I dunno why, but I think I am the only one who can't get enough of Pablo Honey.

Yeah, I think The Bends is their best album. Currently, I think this is the order I would put their albums in:

1. The Bends
2. Kid A
3. OK Computer/Amnesiac (I can't decide which I like more)
5. Pablo Honey
