| Radiohead: The Best Of DVD If you're anything like me -- and I hope you are -- it's been a l-o-n-g time since you've actually sat down and watch music videos. I've not had cable for years, for starters, and even those of you who do have it know that that station called MTV hasn't played videos in years. Thankfully, we can watch videos at our leisure anytime online, but it involves more thought than plopping down in front of the TV and having it all served up to you. That having been said, I put the Radiohead: The Best Of DVD on my Netflix queue a while back and after watching it last night realized I'd only ever seen one Radiohead music video ever -- Fake Plastic Trees. Radiohead: The Best Of is a compilation album of English alternative rock band Radiohead. The album features singles, album tracks and one B-side the band released from 1993 to 2003 while with EMI. The first disc, also available separately, comprises the majority of the band's charting hits, while the second disc concentrates on less commercially successful singles and other tracks. As a parallel release, a DVD compilation featured 21 music videos, of which nine were released on DVD for the first time. This is the first released compilation of Radiohead's songs, but it had not been sanctioned by the band; it was prepared by EMI after the band's departure, and Radiohead band members did not participate in selecting the tracks. The compilation contains only songs to which EMI holds the publishing rights; all of the tracks were recorded before Radiohead's seventh studio album, In Rainbows (2007), as the band ended their contract with EMI in 2004 and signed with other labels for future distribution.

While I did't watch all of the videos, it was cool to see the video for Creep for the first time and for some reason I knew the video Sit Down. Stand Up. would be sick and it was better than I could have imagined. Also of note: Fake Plastic Trees, Paranoid Android, and Karma Police. |
