Your Sunday Morning Extremely Awesome Vegetarian Post is another one I probably should have written about, oh, fifteen years ago, because it’s Thom Yorke, of Radiohead.  I mean…Radiohead.  It’s good stuff.  Where to begin…where to begin…how about “How to Disappear Completely,” off Kid A?  It might be my favorite song of theirs, but that’s kind of like picking your favorite child, or so I’m told.  But the resolve of dissonance we get around the 5:15 mark wins.

I had the chance to see Radiohead live, once, about two years ago, and it’s even more amazing then that clip shows.  I probably don’t need to go over the history of Radiohead - you know who they are, you know what they play, so let’s see what else we can find to keep you interested.  How about this little youtube gem: previous Awesome Vegetarian Michael Stipe singing lead on “Lucky,” which comes from OK Computer (after the jump).

The War Now Tomorrow and Forever

Embarking on a world tour as of yesterday, Radiohead are trying to educate their fans about what the band is doing to reduce its carbon footprint while on the road, attempting to create an eco-friendly world tour.  

Now, I know this is the third time I’ll have mentioned Radiohead.   I know our very own Giulia Rozzi wrote about Radiohead two days ago.   I also know that our very own Jon Popham recently talked about Prince covering the band at Coachella (though I wasn’t there this time around, I did get to see the Daft Punk set in 2006 and can die happy for that reason), but it seems Radiohead just keep on doing the right thing and making environmental headlines, or whatever.
