RE: Alternative Weekend: In Rainbows

in Alternative Weekend2 years ago

Sorry to hear about the crap traffic. I did my years of commuting and had a few of those jams. I'm so happy not to be doing that any more.

I bought the special edition of In Rainbows with the album on vinyl and an extra CD. I can be a sucker for such things. I also have the My Iron Lung EP.

They are talented guys and I can respect their desire to keep evolving. I get that music is a commercial exercise as well as an artistic one, but playing the same songs hundreds of times gets boring. They have made enough to not need to worry too much if the fans keep buying it. Some bands just turn into tributes of their younger selves. Mind you, we are seeing Sting play his hits this month.

I always think Colin looks like he should be a different band :)

I think we saw them on the Hail to the thief tour. They did do Creep then.

I doesn't happen often but is annoying when it does. I try and do something even if it's sleeping and annoying the driver behind me.

I didn't know you were such a fan. My Iron Lung EP. is great, I have the CD somewhere but only listen to MP3's now. Some great lesser know songs on that.

I did try and crack In Rainbows years ago and failed. I still don't think it's as good as 'Hail' but 'Fishes' is great.

I know there are plenty of other albums after 'Rainbows'. I find them hard work to crack open. Something for traffic jams I suppose.

From somewhere I got an album of trippy mixes of some In Rainbows plus some other tracks. This was one of them. Not my usual listening, but interesting anyway.

I have the next album The King of Limbs, but have not listened to it so much. I think their latest was A Moon Shaped Pool after that, but I don't have it.

I will still buy some CDs. Got another special edition due soon and may get some others. Not that I have space for many more.
