T3551ER Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 https://radiohead.com/ It's. . it's everything. Like, literally everything they have ever done, in any medium, organized by album. Kid A blips, from the basement recordings webcasts, concert recordings, boxset artworks, MPIE, music videos, EP's, singles, .. . . Everything.

T3551ER Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 yeah, one hopes but. . . does doing something like this suggest that, like, they are nearing the end? That this is the "our history is over, here it is" final post? (sincerely hope not, would believe they have at least one more great album in them, if not a few more) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goDel Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 wouldnt dare to speculate. would be even happy with a collection of older unreleased works. but hey, even their new albums consist of old stuff. so what do i know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T3551ER Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 Well, I suppose the value is proportional to your investment/adoration of Radiohead's stuff throughout the years. Loads here that have been only available in either partial, extremely obscure, or low quality. I think most insane Radiohead fans (i.e., most of us) probably spent many years collecting a lot of this stuff piecemeal, often via archaic methods like buying bootleg CD's, staying up late and recording performances on VHS tapes, and/or trading with other folks. To have it all collected in one place is basically like 20 year old me's wet dream. To have it be provided freely is generous (with exception of major releases which they kindly link to each purchase and/or streaming via spotify or apple music, for which I can barely blame them - some of the more obscure things, like the cassette tape from OKNOOK they are hosting for free...) Random good stuffs: The 97 Glastonbury performance in full: https://radiohead.com/library/#okc/1997-06-28-glastonbury - hitherto only available partially. The entirety of Meeting People is Easy (https://radiohead.com/library/#okc/meeting-people-is-easy) which is sort of mandatory Radiohead fandom viewing (and a fascinating reflection of the times). Video for Just: https://radiohead.com/library#bends/just - the thing that made me sit up and take notice of Radiohead. Brilliant video. Shot of Thom in video during the pause is laughable. Still brilliant. Video for Pyramid Song: https://radiohead.com/library#amnesiac/pyramid-song - remember my and my friends debated whether or not the long arrows on the road was indicative of some alternate reality. Turns out that's just the way arrows look in some European countries. We just had internet wtf do you want from me? Thom and Johnny performing "you" on MTV: https://radiohead.com/library#ph/1994-10-05-mtv-s-most-wanted AFAIK, this performance used to be available on some early bootlegs, quite shitty quality tho. Captures some of the early, raw energy of the band. Guilty pleasure song. In terms of music - here's the cassette tape from the OKNOTOK (https://radiohead.com/library#okc/oknotok-white-cassette). Arguably not worth your time if you aren't a hardcore fan. The Kid A blips - https://radiohead.com/library#kida/blips - these were played during, iirc, the extreme late hours of the evening on MTV.... brief, odd, unnerving interjections into the stock MTV opiate programming. Plus just a ton of concert and live performance videos. Think that's probably the big "get" here, even to a passing fan, but also a huge boon if you are a fan of the artwork and aesthetics, as they've reproduced all the marketing, booklets, etc.. . .

(sincerely hope not, would believe they have at least one more great album in them, if not a few more) Some interview like a year or so ago, they said they felt they had a few more albums in them so yeah. However I don't think there will be many left, maybe 3/4 more if we're lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I don't think there is a new album very soon. And they definitely are not done. This is just an awesome site though. A bunch of old merch available again as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr_Nova Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 That Revolving Doors song uses bits from the True Love tape loop of the OKNOTOK cassette. I'm sure that's common knowledge, but I just discovered it and was like "neat." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Sombrero Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I'm excited for Kid A era rarities hopefully this year, Thom alluded to super plans for 20th anniversary. I'd say there's a lot more interesting stuff in the tank from round then compared to OKC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candiru Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I haven't done a deep dive into this yet, just kind of browsed, checked out a few things. But it's pretty nice of them to do this. Good job, Radioheadz. I love some B sides from the OK Computer era. I don't know if these are in this archive or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
