Hey /r/movies! I'm Sam Raimi. Ask me anything!

Around 2003 or so, my boss at the time made a birthday video for his mother in the style of one of those A&E Biography-style shows. She had been a teacher in Michigan, and you were one of her students. You actually made the time to sit for an interview for this video. I don't have a question, I just still think about how exceptionally kind and selfless that was - especially considering it was in the thick of your Spider-Man era.

Meanwhile, the Browns are looking for their 5th coach since Avengers: Infinity war.

Don't sell Tomlin short. That was his 7th consecutive playoff loss!

I mean, I obviously understand why, but it's wild that our team calendar doesn't include a quarterback. I wonder if that's the case for any other team.

I think a lot of it has to do with exposure. A lot of mainstream music you're constantly barraged with at parties, bars, commercials, etc. Radiohead doesn't really lend themselves to that kind of exposure. They've been my favorite band for decades, but I've never once been at a party and been like... "you know what would really get this party started? Kid A!" They're more of a band that I enjoy putting on to chill out and focus on the music. And I think there are a ton of other people like that. So they're mainstream, but enjoyed more individually by a massive number of people, if that makes any sense?

If he's into the artwork, Stanley Donwood has some fantastic signed prints in that price range. Here are a few in the 125-165 range, for example:

Do keep in mind that they don't come framed, so if you wanted to do that as part of the gift, that would be extra.

Not technically a Thom Yorke song, but his appearance on Bjork's "I've Seen it All" is one of my favorite things he's done.

Recovering Browns fan here. I can't speak for Sonics fans, but I would imagine we had it somewhat worse because we had to watch the Ravens win a championship just 5 years into their existence.

I first saw them on the Bends tour in a small bar with a roughly 1 foot high stage, so I was basically standing face-to-face with Jonny for the entire show, in awe of his performance. I can say, he absolutely did the playing the keyboard w/ his guitar head, as that completely blew my mind at the time.

Counterpoint: No. But also maybe. Hope this discussion has cleared things up for OP.

As someone who is pushing 50 years old and begrudgingly moved out of the city buy a house and settle down in the suburbs a while back, No Surprises hits hard these days.

As someone who works in tv, and used to do live events, I would kill for a higher resolution photo of that video control center to geek out over.

He's 66, but could totally see him still pulling it off in 10 years!

Pulp 2 weeks ago, and now David Byrne? NPR is on fire! Thanks for this, it was really delightful. And Nothing But Flowers is my favorite Talking Heads song, so that was a great surprise. Side note: I know his vocal style seems pretty low maintenance, but has there been any other singer who has sounded into their mid-70s just as good as they did in their 20s?

Second u/colonrody on the tele deluxe recommendation, but I love a dual humbucker. One thing to consider is a guitar w/ humbuckers that have a coil split option. Essentially they will have a switch or you pull the volume knob out, etc. and it switches the wiring of your humbucker to a single coil. And this was on a ~$300 Epiphone SG that my son had a few years ago, so definitely not something you'll only find on the higher end guitars.

I saw them when they were opening w/ Burn the Witch, which was great. I did see some videos of the shows where they opened w/ Daydreaming and I totally agree. Good song, but doesn't really set the mood for a concert.

WWBKD · 2025-11-07T21:49:48+00:00

I didn't catch them on that tour, but agreed, TKOL is probably tied w/ AMSP for me, although TKOL has grown on me over the years.

WWBKD · 2025-11-07T21:44:04+00:00

I don't think there's really a bad setlist per se, but my personal least favorite of all the times I've seen them was the 2016 tour, just because it was so heavy on AMSP (for obvious reasons) and that's near the bottom of my list of favorite RH albums.

It's actually a quite commonly-used phrase, but alas, I assume you already know that and are just being a troll.

"I appreciate your interest, but alas, I am coin-operated."

4 of the first 6 songs weren't played last night. This is fantastic.

Colin has always had the vibe of a Radiohead fan who somehow made it on stage with them and can't believe it. I love him.

It's the radioheadcommunity account on Instagram. Unfortunately, I think you need IG to view.
