Radiohead – The King of Limbs: Live From The Basement is a 55-minute performance from one of the most successful and critically acclaimed acts of their generation, who have sold over 30 million albums worldwide. The programme will feature the notoriously elusive band performing the entirety of their celebrated new album in a studio setting with some additional behind the scenes material. It is scheduled to be the first time that the grammy-award winners are captured on camera this year.
There has been much discussion, as usual, with the latest release by Radiohead, but one of the biggest criticisms I hear is that most the songs don’t really go anywhere. I think this can be chalked up to expectations, and not living up to them. However, I think if you have a better idea of what Radiohead have been listening to during the recording of King Of Limbs then you can have a better perspective on the album and it’s influences. Radiohead have never been ones to shy away from their influences, and the best part about Radiohead is that these influences are diverse, obscure and usually very experimental.
A few months ago Thom started posting lists of songs on DeadAirSpace with the subject line “Office Chart”. I took this to mean that these were songs that the band was listening to and these songs were seeping into their music. I found a lot of the songs on grooveshark, some I couldn’t find at all, but I think you will see a lot of similarities between what you hear on the new album and these songs (especially in the beats).
