December 31, 2007, New Year’s Eve. Two months after the release of the album for download, Radiohead broadcasted a pre-recording of all the tracks from In Rainbows through their website. Aptly called Scotch_mist, in the usual Radiohead-mordant-naming-fashion, it showcases the band in uncontrollable and unsteady drizzle. While listening to the tracks is more than enough to gift the ears, watching the band perform them is a booze like no other. From calm to fiery, hypnotic to belligerent, buoyant to suicidal, Scotch_mist captures In Rainbows in its most exquisite. Aside from the recording, the video also includes short lyrical pieces, fillers like love poems, quirky anecdotes, and animation that serve as intermissions between the songs.
I can’t help but gush when it comes to these things, that for a band that has relentlessly defied musical boundaries for the last ten years, I can only be as truthful as how it feels having their music with me. I believe only a fan so serious can find it difficult to talk sensibly, or at least balance his words, when he is talking about his favorite band, that he is just happy to tell his thoughts, things he likes, things he doesn’t like that much, the little things he gets to notice, and with the pride of being able to share that feeling I think it is not his lack of writing talent to blame for, but his weak emotional control.
It has only been two years but it feels like I have listened to it all my life. In Rainbows is Radiohead’s answer to how far musical greatness can go. It is as infinite as the stars we can only see in a deep night, as borderless as the space where the rainbow meets its end, as immeasurable as time. And yes, that’s me exaggerating, but that’s how it is. Listening to this album now is like being transported to the days that are not yet spent, the months that will befall in unknown time, and the years that will only pass in millisecond. There are times when I wonder how it will feel after I listen to it decades from now. Will it still be the same? Will it still hold that feeling?
There is a lot of talking about the Radiohead model, the idea contested from Kim Gordon to Lily Allen, the main argument being the band belittling the music that the other bands are making, that they are assured to give the album away because they know they are huge, not caring about the artists that are not as successful as them. I know it’s an act of arrogance. It’s somewhat, on the surface – - selfish. But don’t artists of their caliber share an amount of courage to pull that act off? Which they did. Which the music world will always be grateful for because it widened the possibilities and challenged every artist to do much better.
There is still one more year left, but as other fans would also be pronouncing, as early as now In Rainbows has already reserved its place in the peak of this decade’s landmark pieces. It seizes the beauty of fear and anxiety that the turn of the millennium has brought to us, sublimating it into the glorious feeling of being alive.
Scotch_mist counts down that euphoria.
