Judging by "Paranoid Android", they must also be Douglas Adams fans (hey, another British author!)

yeah last time i read through the hitch hiker's guide to the galaxy i kept noticing all these elements that radiohead ended up using. marvin the paranoid android. the karma police. zaphod beeblebrox screaming 'OK Computer!' when it wasn't exactly co-operating with him. oddly enough i also seem to remember an interview with thom yorke where he pretty much expressed the same idea/situation in regards to choosing the album title. i guess the band didn't want to say where most of it really came from

But since they already have "A-Sides," what they really need is a "B-Sides" collection...so howabout:

Birth Ritual
Girl U Want
Fell on Black Days (demo)
Bleed Together
Kyle Petty, Son of Richard
Stray Cat Blues
Seasons
Show Me
She Likes Surprises
Exit Stonehenge
Into the Void
HIV Baby
She's a Politician
Touch Me
Blind Dogs
Come Togther
Like Suicide (acoustic)

Special thanks to Kazaa Lite ++ for letting me hear these songs and me for making a CD-R very similar to this one right here.

yeah that was in my pre badmotorfinger ignorance days

and ignorance of b-sides

no, its not- you obviously juste dont appreciate it as yet. "Girlfriend In A Coma" has made it onto- and will always make it onto- every Smiths "Best Of", and rightly so.
