A pretty song and an interesting, dark video. Thom Yorke sings a melody too similar to be a coincidence in Radiohead's song 'Creep', so I put this on my Creep playlist.

The ones who can't get past the dress are the unfortunate ones, I think. I can't get over how great she sounds live. Oh, and I do agree that it would have been even more incredible with Thom there.

Good performance but I think this song works much better as a duet. I really wish Thom Yorke or a suitable replacement were singing with her.

[And the swan dress was unfortunate. Her moment to really show the world her talent and they can't get passed the dress.]

Just for reference Radiohead really Hate that song. They made it only becuse the reccord company insitsted on a "accessible" single for OK computer, and if you ever see them perform it at one of their own gigs they will 9 times out of 10 do their best to make it awfull. (only time ive seem em do it was when the crowd kept moaning at them to play it so thom yorke just mumbled the entire song in protest). Combined with the fact that its a cover by Beck!!!!!!!!!!! makes it almost irredemable to me as a radiohead fan.

Dont get me wrong I'm not trying to flame, just trying to point out that a compilation of covers of "creep" is about as far away from a homage to radiohead as you can get without openly cussing the band.

Can Thom Yorkes squeal like a pig?

Awesome post!!!
Thom and Jonny together create cerebral sounds. This track is from my favorite sessions(Kid A/Amnesiac).
It was these 2 albums that blew my mind and placed them on my "Best Band Ever" list.

Love the Genius tag!

Thom Yorke! You googly-eyed mofo, I love you.

Thom does a decent impression of Morrissey.

i must say i think i like the live version better. i dont quite like the drums on the album version. the song is kind of anticlimatic. the thom solo performance may still be my favorite though.

Grizzly Adams cannot die!

It's Thom Pace. (whoever that is/was).

I know it's Thom Yorke, my screen name isn't his name. =)

I'd vote Libertarian if I were a multi-millionaire. Please don't believe the hype (... and by the way, it is Thom not Tom Yorke).

By 1970 there were over 1600 CFR members and in 1972 the Trilateral Commission was formed by Rockefeller (Chairman of the CFR). The CFR and the Trilateral Commission are not US Government created entities. The Council's first recruitment of a future president occurred in 1950 with Eisenhower. Since then every president (except Reagan) has been a CFR/Trilateral commission member and these presidents have filled their staff with other CFR members.

One example of how a presidential elect that claims he doesn't want NWO personnel in his administration, however ends up appointing such people to their cabinet is Reagan.

He was neither a CFR or Trilateral Commission member. He was neither a Skull & Bonesman or Bilderberger, however he was a Bohemian Grovesman.

When Reagan was asked who really ran the United States, Reagan admitted: "I think there is an elite in this country and they are the ones who run an elitist government (shadow government). They want a government by a handful of people because they don't believe the people themselves can run their lives... Are we going to have an elitist government that makes decisions for people's lives or are we going to believe as we have for so many decades, that the people can make these decisions for themselves?".

It also seems that Reagan was thinking along similar lines to Jimmy Carter when he gave his pre-election promise to avoid "insiders" when selecting his cabinet. When Reagan was elected, he formed a transitional team that would act as kind of a recruitment agency for the major positions in the new administration. Of the 59 people Reagan appointed for the team, 29 were members of the CFR, ten were Bilderbergers, and astonishingly, ten were from the dreaded Trilateral Commission. With George H.W. Bush as his Vice Presidential running mate, Reagan was not about to make the CFR or the Trilateral Commission or any other secret group into a campaign issue.

When Reagan entered the White House, he appointed 12 members of the Trilateral Commission, six of whom were also CFR members. As a sign of the true state of secret group influence, there were another 64 appointees who were also members of the CFR.

This from a man that stated he would take control and keep the government from being controlled by a shadow government. He appointed the exact people he vowed not to have in his office.

Today in the Bush administration, every single appointee is a CFR member. The CFR prohibits its members from disclosing anything that has been said within it's closed meetings to outsiders. A recent breakdown of the 4200+ members today reveals that 31% come from the corporate sector, 25% come from academia, 15% from charities, 13% from government, 8% from law, 6% from the media and 2% from other professions. CFR members are on the boards of the following sample of corporations: Citicorp, J.P.Morgan Chase, Boeing, Conoco, Disney, IBM, Exxon Mobil, Dow Jones, Viacom/CBS, Time Warner, Carlyle Group, Lehman Brothers, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Credit Suisse First Boston, Chevron Texaco, Lockheed Martin, Hailliburton, Washington Post/Newsweek.

The CFR has been the breeding grounds for future presidents and their administrations for several decades now. Whether Republican or Democrat, the men and women in power will have been schooled in foreign relations by the council. If there is a shadow government at work then you can guarantee the puppet strings pass through the Pratt House (CFR).

--------------------------------------------------------------------

If you want to read up on the CFR (and not from the CFR itself), one good source of an examination of the CFR from it's initial creation up to today is a book written by 2 authors.

One is Thom Burnett (One of Britain's leading experts on security and military affairs. He served with UK Special Forces in the 90's and has been undertaking postgraduate research in Conspiracy Theory and Military Intelligence. The other author is Alex Games - Author and journalist for the London Evening Standard, UK's Financial Times, Sunday Times, Daily Telegraph, Guardian and Independent on Sunday).

The book is called: "Who Really Runs the World?: The war between globalization and democracy". Pages 100-120 descibe many details about the CFR's history from inception to today.

ah, a classic, *promote

a fun thing to do is sing along with Thom at the end; he holds the last note for about 20 seconds.

that UNKLE cd was the best. I bet I can still play 'Bloodstain' on the drums.

Reminds me of "The Apology Project". Allan Bridge started an apology line in 1980 and recorded confessions of whoever was willing to call. Ira Glass did a piece on it on NPR. It is act 2 here:

(free to listen, absolutely fascinating phone confessions)

Transcripts of some of the apology/confessions are here:

I remember listening to the show when I was much younger, one particular confession is particularly powerful and disturbing. There is supposedly a documentary being made by Thom Powers of Sugar Pictures.
