Radiohead are (Apparently) conspiracy theorists.


So a rummage online has brought to my attention something entertaining about Radiohead, it also showed a lot of stuff about how Thom Yorke likes to absolutely lace the albums with cryptic messages and the like. But what I found more than interesting is this.

'OK Computer' was released in 1997 and 'In Rainbows' was released in 2007, that's 10 years apart.

Now, the number 10 plays a massive role in the whole list of conspiracy theories that include these 2 albums.

I'll let you read it all [HERE]

Continuing:

Open Windows Media Player > set the crossfade to 10 seconds (10 again) > now, starting with 'OK Computer,' alternate between the 2 albums like so for 10 tracks (10 again).

-Airbag
-15 step
-Paranoid Android
-Bodysnatchers
-Subterranean Homesick Alien
-Nude
-Exit Music (For a Film)
-Weird Fishes/Arpeggi
-Let down
-Karma Police

Now, listen. Despite the 2 albums being 10 years apart, the songs flow together seamslessly.

And apparently it's entirely intentional.

Conspiracy theories and cryptic messages aside, it's a great little playlist.

Have fun.

Ciao.
