When I was a very little man, probably three years old, my family took me to the circus. As I observed the caged lions and tigers, I confidently asserted that they were not ferocious beasts, but rather “people dressed up” as animals. Yes, I was a cynic even as a toddler.
In the days since its release, I’ve listened to Radiohead’s The King of Limbs between 40 and 50 times, which suggests two things: 1. I probably need a girlfriend and 2. I LOVE Radiohead. The latter point cannot be overstated - I’m so into them that, on more than one occasion, I’ve actually forgotten to breathe while taking in a new record. Suffice to say, I greeted news of their 8th LP with considerable enthusiasm.
The initial volley of songs on Limbs quickly make it known that the now-legendary Oxford quintet are not content to rest on their laurels. In Rainbows, Part II, this is not. While the warm, amorous aura of In Rainbows remains, Limbs has much more in common with the records that now make up the literal centerpiece of their career - Kid A and Amnesiac.

I haven't seen many twitters, chirps, or FaceBook status check-ins mentioning that peeps are headed to the White River Amphitheater to see Radiohead tonight.

If there's any one question most bands tend to dislike it's how they got their band name. A band will most likely answer with, "Well, this one night we were drunk..." or something similarly dissatisfying and anti-climatic, which is I avoid the question during interviews.
Latest comment by: Anonymous: "How could you miss out The Rolling Stones? Perhaps one of the most influential bands EVER. They got their name from an old blues song, (Muddy Waters or something) because Mick and Keith were both really into that when they were growing up"

Radiohead have put out an iTunes-exclusive live video set from "In The Basement," and it's fantastic.
You may have all of the songs but do you have all the videos?
Most exciting is that the collection will be available on CD, Limited Edition double-CD, quadruple vinyl (!!!), or by digital download.
Latest comment by: Matt: "I guess this is an okay overview for people who like the band, but don't love them. If you already own the albums, you already have all of the songs except for "Talk Show Host" which was on the Street Spirit single and the Romeo and Juliet soundtrack. And no ...
By showing a day in the life of two boys -- one obviously affluent and American, one in a third world country -- it packs an emotional wallop in under four minutes.
Latest comment by: SATS: "I'm now positive it's impossible not to get moved in some way by any of Radioheads work.. Reckoner's still my fav off the new cd though."
