Radiohead: Simply the Best

Radiohead’s “Pyramid Song” made it to #1 on Nightshift’s Simply the Best – 20 Songs for ’01:

1. RADIOHEAD: “PYRAMID SONG” – Even by their incredible standards, this was an astonishing song. The first single from “Amnesiac”, “Pyramid Song” answered all of Radiohead’s critics in majestic style, taking a desolate trek across frozen tundra, into pop’s heart of darkness. A song dense enough to suck the light out of the room, it snakes in a casually malevolent way across what sounds like the film score to an old Roman epic, dissected and assimilated by the Borg and topped off by Thom Yorke’s detached, repressed howl. One of the bleakest songs ever written. Quite magnificent.

Elijah Wood

In a recent interview with Premiere magazine, Lord of the Rings star Elijah Wood gave some Radiohead life philosophy:

One of the girls thrusts a video camera at him. “Would you mind saying something for the camera?” she asks. Her friends twitter. Wood faces the camera, closes his eyes for a moment, and then says, “There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow men. True nobility is being superior to your former self.” The girls stop giggling. They thank him and leave the restaurant while Wood repeats the line, which he picked up off a Radiohead website. “Don’t you think that’s true?” he asks, not noticing the girls now standing outside the window and quickly descending upon another cute boy, who wears a tennis visor and mugs for the camera. “So much time is wasted on trying to be better than others.”
