    My vote goes to the song in my sig:

    "How to Disappear Completely"

    Although Black Star is a close second.

    What is everyone else's favorite?

    I voted other for "Let Down".

    Runners up are "Fake Plastic Trees" and "The National Anthem".


    BTW Manny, any guesses on where I got my signature? Just a little pop quiz for ya.

    I dig RadioHEAD, but I don't know the titles to very many of their songs, other than the obvious ones, like "Fake Plastic Trees" and others in which the title is mentioned in the chorus...

    it's a shame, but man, I can get into some RadioHEAD music...

    Hmmm..I think you got me on that one, deepellum.

    Is it from Kid A or Amnesiac??

    I need to listen to Amnesiac again this weekend.

    Hint: It's not Radiohead.

    Probably something off The Bends...computer-generated music doesn't do much for me for the most part.

    The only song by Radiohead that I can stand is "Creep," so it gets my vote.

    The Bends, by far.

    Just is next.

    Black Star is third.

    The Bends is one of my favorites albums ever.

    Sorry, VS, but "Kid A" has become my favorite Radiohead CD as I (despite the reservations of TheFreak) love electronic music and that CD is slanted in that direction.

    However, OK Computer and The Bends are pretty damn close behind it.

    deepellum:

    I could do a google search on that phrase, but I'll let you tell me what it is from. Not a Smashing Pumpkins or Coldplay song is it?

    It's the opening lines from the new Wilco album. The song is called "I am Trying to Break your Heart".

    I voted for "Pyramid Song."

    I've been trying to learn that one on piano lately, but the timing is
    pretty difficult. I really dig "You and Whose Army" too.

    Anything from Kid A or Amnesiac, hell OK Computer for that matter.

    my sig comes from the liner from OK Computer.

    I voted for "Other," but I'm not sure what that'd be. "Blow Out," "Just," "My Iron Lung," "Airbag," "A Reminder," "Idioteque," and "Like Spinning Plates" (the last two helped by the live versions on I Might Be Wrong) are my current list of candidates, along with poll choices 3, 5, 7, and 9. The only Radiohead .sig I've ever had was this:

    [​IMG]

    ...so I guess I should pick "Airbag." Way cool EP, too.

    As far as playing "Pyramid Song" on the piano, I had earlier found this sheet music:

    [​IMG]

    I think of the chord lengths as 3, 3, 4, 3, 3, (repeat) with a slow swing rhythm. I have no skill at all at actually playing those chords, but I feel like I can hit my Casiotone in that rhythm acceptably.

    "Street Spirit (fade out)" is my favorite by far.

    dude, deepellumrocket. . .

    we are on the same wavelength of the Jedi force or something.

    I, too, vote Other for "Let Down"

    One day, I am going to grow wings
    A chemical reaction
    Hysterical and useless

    I am officially surprised that only one person picked Street Spirit.

    also, deep-e.r., you are the umpteenth person to indirectly point me in the direction of the newest Wilco record.

    nice work Kimble14!

    that helps alot, actually. the timing starts in 9/8, then goes to 6/8, then back to9/8 and so on.

    thanks a bunch.
    so on.
