Just to totally geek out/stretch: go get an ascii table: http://www.asciitable.com/. 8-bits to a byte –> it takes seven binary digits to specify a standard ascii character. chop up: 0101010101001010101010 to 0101010 1010010 1010101 0, dropping the last zero. In ASCII: * R U.

The message Thom York is trying to put out there is obviously way over your head anyway. Did you ever think that you should listen to others instead of being a self-absorbed asshole? Putting all that into the music requires intelligence and adds a level to the art that most cannot achieve. Don’t call yourself a Radiohead fan after a comment like that.

Olivier Messiaen had a big influence on Radiohead, and I wonder if the significance of this is related to the ten movements of ‘Turangalîla-Symphonie’
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turangal%C3%AEla-Symphonie
It seems pretty clear that KidA is structured based on this symphony, but I am not sure that the parallel extends to OK Computer and In Rainbows.
“derived from two Sanskrit words, turanga and lîla, which roughly translate into English as “love song and hymn of joy, time, movement, rhythm, life, and death”, and described the joy of Turangalîla as “superhuman, overflowing, dazzling and abandoned”
Nice summary of Radiohead music!
