The King of Limbs Part 2

Nine years ago today Radiohead released Hail To The Thief.  Hail To The Thief was produced by Nigel Godrich and is Radiohead’s sixth studio album.  The Album was recorded at the Ocean Way Recording studios in Hollywood, California in September 2002.  At almost an hour in length (56:35), it’s the bands longest album.

1. 2 + 2 = 5 (The Lukewarm.)
2. Sit down. Stand up. (Snakes & Ladders.)

Full band interview on Hail To The Thief:

The record also marked the last full length studio recorded album on the Parlophone Records label.  It features a very eclectic group of songs spanning a wide array of various styles and flavors. From the chaotic blast of 2+2=5 to the painfully bluesy  4 on the floor composition “a punch up at a wedding” to the intricate beauty of “scatterbrain” it is a record to be celebrated on this day.

The album also spawned the beginning of our sinister friend Chieftan Mews.

Radiohead and Jack White?

Right before Radiohead played ‘Supercollider’ Thom dedicated it to Jack White.  He said “This ones for Jack White, we saw him yesterday.  A big thank you to him, were not going to tell you why, but you’ll find out.”

Some people are speculating that there could be a possible collaboration between Radiohead and Jack White, or that Radiohead could have recorded something at his Third Man Records in nearby Nashville.

You can watch it below at the 1:38:52 mark:
