Memories of Radiohead Albums permalink

Going to the Radiohead shows got me thinking: what memories do I have associated with each Radiohead album? Seems like they’re good. And they are:

Pablo Honey: Playing the original Need for Speed on 3DO
When you’re not paying much attention, this album flies by and sounds great. I was all about the Porsche 911 in that game.

The Bends: Ski bus trip through Colorado and New Mexico
Made the roadtrip perfect. Looking up through mountains at stars on the bus during “Street Spirit”, etc, etc, etc…

OK Computer: The entire summer of ‘97
Spent most of the time traveling to tennis tournaments. Made the miles fly by. Still don’t like the 2nd half tho.

Kid A: My horribly-detailed theory about the album
Amazing what a yellow Volkswagen Beetle will do to you.

Amnesiac: Don’t remember
How appropriate.

Hail to the Thief: Field Day 2003
First time hearing that stuff live. Made up for the raindrops, the raindrops, the raindrops, the raindrops…

There’s nothing like cracking open a Radiohead album for the first time. Except possibly cracking open a 400-lb. lobster. Either way, I can’t wait for the new album.

  3. I resubmit my contention that all those who decide to use smiley faces relinquish their right not to have their ass kicked for no apparent reason.
