NaturalDementia: Radiohead

My PC asked to me: Go and listen some good music? I say: OK Computer.

Here is one of the best bands you can listen in your short and poor life, I´m talking about Radiohead.

Thom .-.

They are one of the best Alternative Rock expositors. They start to play in 1985,especifically in Abingdon, Oxfordshire. The band consists of Thom Yorke (vocals, guitars, keyboards), Jonny Greenwood (guitars, keyboards, other instruments), Ed O'Brien (guitars, backing vocals), Colin Greenwood (bass) and Phil Selway (drums, percussion).

Their debut single was "Creep", a beautiful medley that explodes it fame in 1993, in their first album named "Pablo Honey". Here start the popularity of the band, and their change and innovation in their instruments.

And now I´ll stop to talk about one of the best singers of our times.

Thom Yorke has a strange and unique voice. Thom has awesome skills to play piano and guitar. He released his solo album on 2006. An album called "The Eraser".

As a singer, Yorke is recognisable by his distinctive tenor voice, vibrato, frequent use of falsetto and ability to reach, and sustain notes over a wide vocal range. In 1994, the band watched Jeff Buckley in concert; Yorke later said the concert had a direct effect on his vocal delivery on "Fake Plastic Trees"^,however, Yorke has said, "It annoys me how pretty my voice is... how polite it can sound when perhaps what I'm singing is deeply acidic." He has often adopted other styles of singing, such as an aggressive shouting style in the middle section of "Paranoid Android" and a semi-spoken style for 2003's "Myxomatosis" and "A Wolf at the Door".

Atoms for Peace

On February 25th, 2010 Yorke revealed the name of his new band: "Atoms for Peace", and announced a series of U.S. tour dates. Yorke first introduced the band late in 2009, with a series of concerts in Los Angeles. It includes Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers on bass, Beck, R.E.M., all-round session drummer Joey Waronker, percussionist Mauro Refosco of the musical collective Forro in the Dark and Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich on keyboards and treatments. When the band officially debuted in Los Angeles last October, it was billed with question marks due to it being unnamed. In a note on Radiohead's web site, Yorke wrote; "It has been decided that we call ourselves Atoms For Peace. hope you like the name. it seemed bleedin' obvious." Atoms for Peace is a track on Yorke's 2006 solo album, The Eraser, its title taken in turn by the Eisenhower speech of the same name.

I do like Radiohead, because their lyrics are full of content and real matters about life. They show to us some cassual things, these can hurt, be enjoyed, be an example or a mirror of our lives. Thom show to us in his lyrics how is the life to his eyes, a strange and a beautiful weird mess.
