Well, it’s been over two years since I last chose a song by one of my favorite groups, Radiohead, for a Video Fridays installment, and that’s just.not.acceptable!
But, thanks to my sister, who posted a Radiohead song — Morning Mr. Magpie, from their most recent album, The King of Limbs — on Facebook yesterday, I now have Radiohead very much in my, um, head, and, conveniently, it’s Friday.
Funny thing, as I was watching the version of the song that my sis posted, something seemed really off, at first it didn’t even register that there was something wrong about the captions, I just noticed that all three guitarists and the bass player were playing lefty, and that just couldn’t be right! (Don’t get me wrong, I’ve got nothing against lefties, but, just statistically speaking, the chances of there being that many lefties in one band are so astronomically thin, and if it were really the case that all four were lefties, you’d think I’d have noticed it before, given I’ve watched hours of Radiohead performances.)
Suffice to say, the video was somehow posted as a mirror image. </embarrassment>
Anyway, because I didn’t want to throw others off as I’d been thrown off, I’ve chosen to post the following, more recent version, performed on Austin City Limits.
Happy Weekend, everyone!
