I’m knitting an Amnesiac sweater. It’s almost done. I’ve been taking my time since it’s too hot to wear it anyway and I’m trying a new technique for the Minotaur that I’m a little apprehensive about.
May 26, 1997
Radiohead released "Paranoid Android" as the lead single from OK Computer, with Polyethylene (Parts 1 & 2), Pearly*, A Reminder, and Melatonin as B-sides.
I knit myself a Wall of Eyes shirt to match the scarf I made last year. This is it as a work-in-progress. I’ll probably post another picture when it’s done. Already thinking about my next project.
Here it is lol
Thom sang the wrong verse at the start of Everything in Its Right Place and got confused at the second verse because he and Jonny smoked a blunt before the encore.
The “sorry” in the bit that Jonny captured and looped back is sending me.
Radiohead had completed their 6 album contract and had a choice to return to EMI but instead they self-released In Rainbows with a pay-what-you-want model and revolutionized the music industry as we know it

Tibetan Freedom Concert
RFK Stadium, D.C.
Michael Stipe joined Radiohead for Lucky, and Thom joined REM for E-Bow the Letter.
Radiohead were set to play on day one, but lightning struck a fan during Herbie Hancock’s set. She survived!
Radiohead - Where I End and You Begin
Glastonbury 2003
This performance has Halloween vibes. Spooky sounds from Ed and Jonny. Ominous lights. The light array looking like cemetery gate. Ed's stoic expression, Jonny's vacant stare. Banshee wails on the ondes Martenot.
Remembering Oliver Postgate on his birthday.
Thom Yorke is a fan of Postgate and his work, especially the children’s show Bagpuss (co-created with Peter Firmin). Here’s a thread about Postgate’s influence on Radiohead’s album Hail to the Thief…

it was probably THE most pivotal moment on our journey.. everything was moving so fast .. we had to just hold on and be there for one another .. and I think we were…

i am happy we managed to capture this show.. especially on those raw old cameras. and especially Colin’s glasses.
This version of The National Anthem is pretty much definitive to me. - Thom
David Byrne has mentioned Caetano Veloso as an influence, so I thought I’d check for Radiohead connections.
Ed is a fan. Also saw others make a comparison between the Transa and Amnesiac album art. Maybe not intentional but now I’m listening to the album.

Happy anniversary to The Eraser, Thom Yorke’s debut solo album.
“…This record would not have happened without Radiohead, and their total faith in me.”
January 28, 2008
Radiohead taped a performance for the 200th episode of Later... with Jools Holland, which aired the following Friday, February 1st. This is one of Colin's picks from the library:
"Arpeggi live on Jools Holland, edgy energy, all new and shiny and nervy"
Emotional ending to The Tourist at Hammerstein Ballroom. I love how quickly Thom transitions from wiping tears away to instructing Jonny to take a bow.
