This may or may not have been intended but the tourist ends with "idiot slow down" and then a ding. This ties it back to the beginning in airbag, where you survive a car crash.

Radiohead? Depressing? U mean beautiful..

[@dokephenuc1343]

Tamtam Of course, people paying attention to only facts while being deliberately deaf about their music categorize Radiohead as _"depressing"_. I don't know how dumb people are but they still manage to see them as the shy boys band of the 90s. Yet, thank god, their personality and music style has changed over the years (for the best). I agree it's beautiful once you get to listen to their albums musical improvement after 2000, because these wonderful fellas could make grow their own style as they see fit without anyone shoving down their throat how such riff, melody or lyric _should_ sound like. I'm very glad how they sound now, as always.

[@srgttamtam]

108: true love waits was actually written in 1995, a song that took 21 years to get to an album format!

[@Velvetspoonful]

Some sources claim that "There There" is Thom's favorite song, and he seemingly shed some tears over the accomplished recording, and mixing, he felt relief over the result song, which conveyed a melody he had been haunted with over a long time, and was afraid mightn't sound as captivating as it was in the privacy of his own brain.

When you were talking about their more playful side, I was expecting you to mention that they voiced themselves in the South Park episode "Scott Tenorman Must Die"! How did you miss it? It was great! "Oh, look at the little crybaby..."

[@SpeckleKen]

No. 5 - "went to college to study music." No. Saves me watching the next 28 minutes.

[@TheKremerTheory]

Here's a playful RadioHead moment much like the "Keep it up" sample. The name "Ok Computer" came from a moment where Thom Yorke walked into an appliance store. After browsing for a bit, he heard a child shout at the top of his lungs "OK COMPUTER!" , and then begin chanting it. Slowly many people began to join in, all screaming the phrase. He caught it on tape, and renamed "Zeros and Ones" to "Ok Computer". You know the rest from there.

[@wbiro]

I only got through 34... and now I'm picking it up again... they formed their band 33 years ago (and I still see them as 20 years after my time) (that is, being a 17 year old)... notes to self: 1.) look up Warp Records 3:18... 2.) look up Thomas Dolby's custom-made instruments 3:36... 3.) 3:56 - nice picture montage of 'literature'... 4.) 12:27 check out the film 'Meeting People is Easy'... 5.) do not try to cover 'Just' 13:30... 6.) I remember seeing the album The Bends when it came out, and I dismissed it out-of-hand since the cover reminded me of Max Headroom (read 'vapid tasteless fare')... I finally gave them a chance (and I covered two songs from it that weren't so tasteless after all)...

[@peelslowly28]

@7:42 for fact 37, I'm from San Leandro, the small town where the video High and Dry was shot. Growing up i've ate at the restaurant in the video plenty of times and didn't know Radiohead had been there until I was much older. I was extremely surreal and awesome, that 'small world' type of feeling forsure. Also if no one knows where San Leandro is, it's right next to Oakland, Ca.

See, despite being 'researched' and stuff, my favourite fact that is related to Radiohead (Thom Yorke really) is that he contributed to an app. Like you have music artists or celebrities that make apps about them or have some sort of social element to it, but 'PolyFauna' has a contribution of Thom Yorke. You don't need that much research for it either, just search Radiohead in iTunes and it'll come up... But yeah, I can't say too much as I'm only a new fan of Radiohead
