They sometimes seem to fall in love with boring beats and/or uninteresting rhythms and KOL is the most concentrated of this irritating tendency.

From there through the rest of TKOL, there's a real sonic trip to be had. You don't really come back down to earth until the "from a long and weary dream" line on Separator hits your ears.

As someone like me prone to "feeling" music on a nearly synesthetic level, it makes TKOL one of my favorite listens and I revisit it when I really want to zone out to something on the headphones.

you can say this about most of the songs on the album. i remember not digging magpie on the album, but i fell in love with it after hearing it live. the same goes for lotus flower and codex. separator is just great both on the album and live though.

So when I got home from work I threw on this gem:
==================================
RADIOHEAD
June 20, 1995
Imperial Hall
Osaka, Japan

Setlist:
My Iron Lung
Anyone Can Play Guitar
Bones
High And Dry
The Bends
Prove Yourself
Pop Is Dead
Black Star
Fake Plastic Trees
Bulletproof...I Wish I Was
Sulk
Creep
Planet Telex
Just
Killer Cars
Nice Dream
Street Spirit
Blow Out
Subterranean Homesick Alien
Stop Whispering

Rare performances abound: "Sulk", one of the last-ever versions of "Pop is Dead", "Killer Cars", an early "Subterranean Homesick Alien" and more Pablo Honey than you'll find at almost any point post-1994. Most interestingly: this is one of the few times they played every song on The Bends live in the same show (which they did at the following show too). All of the shows from the 1995 Japanese tour are incredible, but I think this one is the best.
