"I still love this."

Radiohead's "Airbag (How Am I Driving?)" EP. It's superb, like a mini OK Computer. Some of the songs are better than the ones that made the album, in my honest opinion.

Tracklisting:
1) Airbag
2) Pearly
3) Meeting In The Aisles
4) A Reminder
5) Polyethylene Pt. 1 & 2 (what does he say at the beginning? "Cow"?)
6) Melatonin
7) Palo Alto (easily one of their best songs)

Seek, my pretties!

Yeah, the new stuff has its moments, but is mostly unenjoyable.

That's what I love about he EP - it all sounds like a fantastically good jam session. Most of their stuff is recorded 'as live' anyway, but the little clangs and drum hits that lead into the songs give it an extra layer of warmth.

I'll upload it tonight - they've got enough of our money, we deserve something for free.

Sure, experimentation is fine and dandy. That's what rehearsal rooms are for.

I always thought he said "go!". More importantly, what the hell are the lyrics to the first part?! I've seen about 4 different versions, they all sound close but not right. And Thom claims he can't remember. Hmph.

Anyway, yeah, tis indeed fantastic. As infact are most Radiohead B-Sides/Rarities. Go d/l Gagging Order or Fog... or really just any B-Side from The Bends onwards.

Nor...Karma Police

I give up; I can't find it anywhere other than on import at Amazon for £30... Everywhere else it seems to be out of print. And the only thing cd-wow has under the search for "airbag" is a Carmen Electra aerboic striptease Dvd. Which I must just buy out of spite.

But it hasn't got Let Down.

Therefore it can't be as good as OK Computer.

Pearly* and Palo Alto are some of the most played songs on my iPod.

Polyethylene is one of my favourite Radiohead songs from any album, I must say.
