“Jigsaw Falling Into Place” – Radiohead

Ah we have been spoiled once again. I can remember not too long ago Radiohead announced online that they were going to be making an album, coming as a complete surprise to even the most dedicated Radiohead fans. Being the comtemporary artists they are (always breaking boundaries in their music) they took it one step further and recorded an album in a matter of weeks, selling it online for any price chosen by the purchaser. [Yes this sounds quite stupid, but this stunt actually made them a good deal of money and helped to demonstrate the problem facing the music industry today with their pricing and publishing policies.] In Rainbows became the not only the most controversial album, but also my favorite album to date. Being the fan that I am, I decided to purchase it online the day it was released for a good $8 (which of course had to be converted into Euros). After listening to the album straight through, I was jaw-dropped like a kid going to Disney World for the first time. Only in this case my Disney world was a digital download of a CD (Yes I know my pleasures in life are twisted). This video became the first “official” music video for the In Rainbows album, and was created just as you would expect Radiohead to: Odd, Random, Thought-Provoking, and kinda creepy (Sorry Thom). All-in-all, this album is a MUST-HAVE for any fan of alternative music.

You want to know my favorite tracks? I thought you would never ask. Here we go:

“15 Step”
“Weird Fishes/Arpeggi”
“Faust Arp”
“Jigsaw Falling Into Place”

Heres the music video, so go out and PLEASE BUY THIS ALBUM. You will not be upset, I promise
