Is it just me, or is it really trippy to see Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood on KEXP? I've always associated it with up and coming indie artists, and maybe a few mainstream artists. But seeing these 2 on here is like the gods coming down to the mortal realm for shits and giggles. Also, KEXP as usual knocked it out of the park with the audio engineering. The mix was impeccable.
@slimyfisher1370 Жыл бұрын
Hmmm...."Gods coming down to the mortal realm" is a bit of hyperbole, but y'know...I mean they are musicians after all. It's what they do for a living, so why wouldn't you want your music on a station well known for promoting great music that's often overlooked by the mainstream media? I guess it's a little unusual for musicians of their popularity. They certainly don't need the extra exposure, but I suppose it's a little surprising when most popular rock bands from the 90s still active are charging exorbitant ticket prices at big corporate sports arena's for little more than an evening of comfortable nostalgia mixed with whatever terrible new music they have, that none of the concert goers actually want to hear. So you do have to give them props for not being boring like that.

AND at the same time play another instrument with his feet - midi controller? Dont know! How can Thom play guitar and bass parts that are most of the time pretty insane AND sing AND do it all in time with a band? Dont know!

I knew this performance would be amazing but I was absolutely blown away after listening. It is so incredible that Thom and Johhny have created so much great music, in so many different contexts and they continue to reinvent themselves and stay inspired. Almost no one has been making great music as long as they have, without sacrificing quality or becoming stale and boring. I was also insanely inspired by Tom Skinner's drumming. His playing is super unique and unpredictable in the best way. All around amazing group of musicians creating some amazing stuff.

I can't believe how great and also modest are these guys! Zero arrogance! Love the album and their live performances. But this session was outstanding. Great job. Extra bonus for "woman, life, freedom" sign on Thom's keyboard

@luispinheirodosmontes7219 Жыл бұрын
"Thin Thing" is in my opinion Thom Yorke's greatest musical masterpiece...after "How to Disappear..." and "Weird Fishes" and "Idioteque".......and "Fade out"....and I know I'm missing a couple of álbuns here. ..Oh yeah, "Open the Floogates" is also a masterpiece....!!! Fu€k!!! When are they going to do a bad sond!? And thank you KEXP for this....🤗

There's something special about The Smile, where you know when Thom and Jonny are playing in Radiohead it's their "job" so you expect it. But them doing this project just for fun proves there's still so much kinetic energy and love of creating between them. They're just doing this cause they want to and still have so much to explore together. It's nice.

I saw The Smile in Paris when I was on vacation and Robert Stillman (the sax player in You Will Never Work In Televsion) was opening for them. I wish they let the sax playing come through a bit more during this performance of the song, because when I heard it in Paris, it really took the song to a whole new level. I don't speak a lick of French, but that night I was just like anyone in that crowd, just enjoying that raw energy and controlled chaos.
