So you just (sorta) recently got into Radiohead then, eh?
What got you hooked?

Well 2 and 1/2 years but yeah I was at this party and someone played Street Spirit and I was instantly hooked. I went home and downloaded the discography and they quickly became my favorite band of all time.

Wicked.

Seen 'em live yet?

dac · 11-10-2008, 01:04 PM

Oh yeah, this past summer... easily the best show of my life, an almost perfect set list.

I'd love to go to a super intimate acoustic session, or something.
I think then I would be complete.

I saw Radiohead at a club called the Bottleneck in Lawrence, Kansas in 1995 when The Bends first came out and it was awesome...I was a foot from Thom Yorke at one point...There was maybe 300 people there...Now they are maybe the biggest band in the world.

Ha that's amazing. Did Thom have the goofy blond hair back then?

His hair was like in the fake plastic trees video...The opening band I remember had an electric violin player/singer and I think they were called the Dambuilders and even though I liked Radiohead I really had no idea how lucky I was...you know what I mean...I was a heavy drug user back then so I got pretty wasted...I remember getting jiggy to Creep....lol.

then you'd love Gagging Order: Acoustic Recordings, I didnt think they could pull off an acoustic version of My Iron Lung but it sounds almost better than the studio version.
