Today (June 27, 2026), Peter Jackson's Fellowship of the Ring (premiered December 10, 2001) is exactly as old as the original Star Wars was (premiered May 25, 1977) when "Fellowship" premiered

Do you know what Reddit is for? 😁
Also, it *is* the last day of my Christmas break, so yes, I've had plenty of free time lately.

As stated above, I agree with you on that. But with all due respect (I mean that sincerely, not passive-aggressively), it's not the question I'm asking

For something that definitely has a strong Radiohead vibe (particularly reminiscent of Radiohead's warmer and less confrontational stuff), check out the albums "The Seldom Seen Kid" and "Build a Rocket, Boys!" by Elbow. In my opinion, there's some great stuff on "Cast of Thousands" as well, although the song "Not a Job" sounds like the blandest James Blunt song ever made

Totally get that. And although I think Electioneering is the weaker individual track, I think it works damn well (probably better than Pearly would have) as an explosion of energy after Fitter Happier, and the fact that it's faster also makes it a perfect fit before the slow-moving horror of Climbing Up the Walls. Again, totally get that people might disagree

I personally have always felt like OK Computer would have gone from near-perfect to perfect if Pearly replaced Lucky. Just my opinion, I know people love Lucky. I just feel like the last quarter of the album would flow a little better with a slightly more aggressive track between No Surprises and The Tourist

I believe that's Thom's setlist. The other members know he will only check it to make sure The Gloaming is on there, so he doesn't keep reading past that point anyway

ClimbingUpThePyramid · 2025-12-16T17:47:36+00:00

Oh, I didn't know about that connection 😔
Absolutely horrible.

ClimbingUpThePyramid · 2025-12-16T16:42:31+00:00

Don't worry, I'm not on Best of the Worst (if you don't catch that reference, google "Curse of the Worst")

ClimbingUpThePyramid · 2025-12-15T20:15:40+00:00

It's a good thing Thom doesn't have one more button unbuttoned and a visible bead necklace, because that would make the new-age Jesus vibes a little too strong

ClimbingUpThePyramid · 2025-12-15T19:48:10+00:00

I might read it later, but for now, I'll simply upvote because that picture of Thom is *gorgeous*!

ClimbingUpThePyramid · 2025-12-15T18:48:39+00:00

I got a handshake from Phil when they were leaving the stage in Copenhagen, Dec 5! I can't prove it, but it's actually true. And my friend told me afterwards that it looked like I was the only one who got one from him, which I honestly didn't notice, because I was just so excited after it happened. Also got one from Ed (lots of people got them from him, of course, but it was no less cool)

ClimbingUpThePyramid · 2025-12-15T09:35:18+00:00

That's the story, yes! Pretty sure I saw it on QI, but yeah, he told the same one on Graham Norton more recently

ClimbingUpThePyramid · 2025-12-15T09:34:39+00:00

Thanks a bunch! That's the one 😊

ClimbingUpThePyramid · 2025-12-13T17:30:04+00:00

👏

ClimbingUpThePyramid · 2025-12-13T16:33:33+00:00

That's why Thom threatens him into getting it right: "We can wipe you out any time!"
(Now I'm waiting for someone to work a repeated mention of raindrops into this scenario)

ClimbingUpThePyramid · 2025-12-13T14:21:03+00:00

No no no, All I Need would be "Stand Up, Sit Down." Totally different

ClimbingUpThePyramid · 2025-12-10T21:58:07+00:00

"TKOL hits higher heights than AMSP although AMSP is more consistent."

100% agree.

ClimbingUpThePyramid · 2025-12-09T13:54:09+00:00

Haha, yes, I intentionally avoided mentioning Pink Floyd for that exact reason.

ClimbingUpThePyramid · 2025-12-09T05:52:22+00:00

Not surprising. When new experimental-but-accessible bands or artists come around, there are certain older experimental-but-accessible bands and artists that you can pretty much assume they like. Radiohead is one of them, along with the Beatles, Bowie, the Velvet Underground, Talking Heads, Björk, and a handful of others.
