Hi everyone, I'm just posting here on the off chance that anyone has a car they want driven to nyc. My car died about 40 miles outside nashville and we are gonna rent a car to get to austin but getting home is gonna be $$. There are four of us and we all have licenses!
I know this is a shot in the dark but I had to try. Also, tell all your friends in nashville.
thanks!

Wow. What fucking HORRIBLE timing, as my Nashville friend recently left.

I think "guitar-driven" is sort of a misnomer for what I liked about The Bends and OK Computer. I would say they were more "song driven" instead of "sound driven", as their recent albums have been. I don't really care about instrumentation, it's the verse-chorus-verse that they did so well that I miss.
Sometimes I do too. I like their recent work pretty well, but I thought The Bends was an excellent pop album. I'm skeptical of their ability to go back to that sound, though. They aren't a band that seems to enjoy regressing.
working more w/guitars again doesn't automatically mean that radiohead is going backwards, revisiting a certain sound or regressing. sometimes you just gotta write a song w/guitars.
let em be whatever they wanna be and do whatever they wanna do. being the band that gave me "the bends" and "ok computer" gives them enough rope to do whatever they want. doesn't mean i'll like everything they do...but they get a free pass to be as creative as they like.

I hope that provides some sort of idea about the "new direction" of Radiohead. Thom has said before in interviews that they do albums in cycles of three, so I guess it's all up in the air now. In my opinion, they do a broken glass kind of pretty that no one else can come close to matching.
It's a very exciting time.
