small spider was crawling right above my pillow tonight. i'm scared. i'm scared.

i'm sleeping on the couch tonight.

i know spiders are our friends but just the way the move around makes me uncomfortable. i have some in every corner of my room but i'm fine with them being there as long as they don't invade my space. i wouldn't dare kill them, but this one seems too big for the pill bottle. i feel so violated but i don't want to cause unnecessary suffering to the spider because i know its just trying to live life.

Does anyone remember how long it was from when they announced OKNOTOK to when it was released?  Recent interviews have me thinking it might not happen.  

I only recently starting reading through this thread but somebody said 6 weeks.

From looking at my emails 2nd May 2017 was the date several shops announced it and it was also the date I created my accountat the OKNOTOK store. The release date of the 3 x vinyl and 2 CD was 23rd June, not sure if the big boxed set was the same date.

So an early-mid August announcement would be consistent with an early October release if they were going for the actual 20th anniversary.

 

Seemed to be some very strong interest in earlier interviews - why wouldn't it happen? Ed's attention is obviously elsewhere with a new album out and nobody would want to undermine that by hyping the project up now.

I honestly seem to recall it being about three month. I remember just thinking it must've been some 90s throwback, true to the style, because the wait and whole promotional push was very 'traditional.' Before that, we'd had three Radiohead albums and a Thom Yorke one all with pretty similar 10ish day announcement-to-release cycles.

I remember seeing the posters pop up and thinking they were fake. Then again I thought that about the Burn The Witch pamphlets being sent out as well. I guess reddit and their 'I won't listen to the minidisc leaks because it'll make me cry because it'll make Thom angry' ethics rules out such sins as fibbing bout the 'head. I went to Europe and saw a couple of shows, the first time I'd seen them, they were playing some festival shows in Europe and one in Belgium or Holland was selling the it at the merch tent a while before it was due to come out.

I think OKNOTOK properly came out a couple of days before the Manchester show (?). They opened with Let Down and then I think they played Lucky or Airbag and I said "fuckin hell, they're going to play the whole album!"

Still can't believe they trotted out fuckin I Promise and not Lift in the encore though. They get sentimental and look backwards for the first time ever and botch it. Classic.

Review Ed's diary during the Kid/Amnesiac sessions and let me know what you are most excited for. 

 

Bombers has to be Go to Sleep right? 

C minor song is worrywart? 

 

He never mentions their attempts at Nude but he does with True Love Waits.  

 

I bet I Froze Up would be a release extra c-side like Lift, I Promise and Big Boots.  

 

There has to be a ton of stuff that we don't know about that wasn't mentioned in the diary.  Obviously Innocent Civilians was a joke but we could fuck with Reddit on that one.  

Bombers is 4 minute warning I think

I thought the Neil Young Song was 4 Minute Warning.  I suppose they both can be. 
 

edit: indeed after reviewing Ed’s diary, Neil Young Song and Bombers are the same song. 

Yes indeed. On one of the 2006 blackboards "Bombers / Neil Young *9" had become "Bombers / 4 minute warning"

Ed has said they could release a box set of material from the Kid A era. 

If that's the case I hope they realise from the minidiscs release that people would love to hear everything!

Unfortunately I'd have to think the chances that we somehow get EVERY SINGLE FUCKING MINIDISC from the sessions can't possibly happen again..No way that could possibly ever happen again at all..............

Agreed though it would be very nice.  Even though the band is more "chill" these days about releasing unreleased demos and recordings, they still want to curate exactly that is released.  So we'll get a Kid A version of the white cassette from OKNOTOK, but not the 17-hour Minidisc equivalent.

If they even did anything even remotely close to the amount of material on the minidiscs it'd be like £500+. I also think the percentage of people who'd actually want that level of content would be very slim. Outside of us nerd fans online there won't be that many people who'd be interested in Optimistic (Take 25) etc. 

I reckon most normal people won't have even heard the amnesiac b sides.
