How do you capture the energy — both positive and negative — of the past 50 years by using instruments perfected in the 18th century and made of wood, glue and horsehair? That challenge lies at the very heart of this album, which brings together one of rock and electronic music's superheroes, Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood, with one of his own idols: the septuagenarian Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki. Penderecki is an idol to Greenwood: In a recent charming joint interview with the London Guardian, Greenwood describes the unlikely duo's first meeting: "I shook his hand after a concert like a sad fan-boy. " Penderecki's Polymorphia also had a fascinating birth. Radiohead stops in Dallas March 5 at American Airlines Center. Radiohead - The King of Limbs live from the basement 2011 - BBC.

Thom Yorke Lists His Favourite New Sounds. Photo: Sharjo Thom Yorke has unveiled his favourite contemporary songs through iTunes, perhaps giving us an insight into what the next Radiohead album will sound like. The singer hand-picked his choice ten tracks to appear on his ‘Celebrity Playlist’ – joining the likes of Brian Wilson and Samuel L Jackson who have submitted theirs in recent months. After immersing himself in Warp records in the late Nineties then, churning out the baffling electronic masterpiece that is ‘Kid A’, the question is whether his eclectic choices will be sculpting his band’s ever-evolving sound. Amongst those included on the list are Gigwise cover star Bat for Lashes, New York experimentalists Liars, the criminally under-rated Dears and former Pavement frontman Stephen Malkmus. However, his favourite record of last year was Spank Rock’s ‘What It Look Like.’ Whether this list gives us an insight into what the new Radiohead will be like is anyone’s guess.
His full playlist and all the blurb is as follows: Radiohead confirm the death of the music business | Music | The Observer. If it had been released in the ordinary way of things, as Radiohead's seventh album on Parlophone, In Rainbows would still be a much admired record. It's tender, adventurous, well-crafted and brimful of that fuzzy, unplaceable anxiety the band have made their stock in trade. And really, it had to be good – its actual manner of release was so unexpected that any disappointment would have been a cue to dismiss the whole thing as a scam. What Radiohead did was very simple. Free of their major label, they simply announced In Rainbows 10 days before its release and let the public decide what – if anything – they would pay to download it. Cue uproar. Depending on who you asked, this was either the future of music marketing or a rich rock star's indulgence. In fact, Radiohead weren't the first act to try pay-what-you-like downloads.
Radiohead may have been riding a wave as well as making one, but that doesn't diminish their boldness. Thom Yorke’s Favourite Radiohead Song Is…? at The Idle Thoughts Of A DayDreamer. I’ve made no secret in the past how huge a fan I am of Radiohead. I’ve said it before, and I will now say it again, there was NO better album in the 90′s than OK Computer. Indeed, has there been a better album since? I would say no… Anyway, my attention was therefore piqued when I came across the following headline on NME: “Thom Yorke’s Favourite Radiohead Tune Revealed” According to the NME, Thom’s favourite Radiohead song is “How To Disappear Completely” from the album Kid A, in 2000. Explaining why, he simply said, “because it’s the most beautiful thing we ever did, I think”. The choice was not that of Radiohead fans. If I was forced to name my favourite Radiohead song, I would struggle!
