    This is wild. I never got this track on the album. My focus was other points of brilliance.
    But seen them live twice in the last week, and just came back to this KEXP recording.
    Phenomenal. There is so much going on. The call back layering of Thom's vocals. The drums. The point the beat catches at the start. Everything Jonny is pulling off. Wow.
    I love that their songs blossom years after first hearing,

    Anyone else notice Thom singing 4 background parts during the intro (2:30), which Jonny records and then plays back during the middle of the song (4:10) with his foot?
    Also, I feel like sonically the intro & outro are stronger than the middle section. The different parts kind of mush together with the loud guitar, at least for me…

      I've never experienced a band that is o different live (in-person) vs live (recorded). Live but recorded can be hit or miss for me - sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Live at their show was such a different experience and more consistent.
      I know in-person is always better but there's something unique about them that makes it so much more so. Not sure if it's the sound engineering or what.

    Selway is great - fits perfectly in Radiohead’s 5 or 6some. Skinner is on another level, and his performance needs to be out front with only 2 others. He makes this song, and who has ever said that about Selway in a Radiohead song?

      I'd say Phil is 'making' Where I End You Begin in a similar way to Skinner here. His drums are also integral part of stuff like Weird Fishes or Pyramid Song.
      But obviously Tom is technically much more proficient and watching him in the band is amazing. But I don't think he'd work well with Radiohead, both are perfect fit for their respective band.
