Radiohead: 01 and 10

October 20th 2007 by Flick

Ten years after OK Computer shocked the world, Radiohead released In Rainbows on October 10 (10/10). Though no one was expecting the album to be released until 2008, Radiohead announced In Rainbows just ten days in advance. In Rainbows, which consists of ten letters, has ten tracks, and would be downloadable from a rumored ten servers. Radiohead preceded the release of In Rainbows with nine cryptic messages. They repeatedly emphasized X, the Roman Numeral for ten, in phrases such as “March Wa X”, and “Xendless Xurbia”. The tenth message was posted on October 10 with a photo of the band drinking tea.

There has been a lot of speculation over Radiohead’s emphasis of ten surrounding the release of In Rainbows. One theory suggests that Radiohead was typifying a binary code of ones and zeros, 1010101010. This has come to be known as the Binary Theory, also called the TENspiracy by some. Puddlegum first addressed the Binary Theory in Radiohead: 1010101010. Someone associated with Thom Yorke contacted Puddlegum, sharing Thom’s reaction to Puddlegum’s article:

“The meaning behind all of this is right in front of our faces, we’re just overlooking it. [Thom] has been expecting an article much like this one for a couple of years, as have I. But I’m willing to wager he’ll have fun waiting a few more. On the other hand, it seems to annoy him that no one ‘gets it’ yet, given the mountain of clues.”

Ten days after our original article, we have come to believe that OK Computer and In Rainbows were meant to complement each other. During the writing and recording process of OK Computer, Radiohead used the working title of Zeros and Ones. If OK Computer is represented by 01, and In Rainbows is represented by 10, then we have 01 and 10. In binary code 01 and 10 complement each other.

Consider that In Rainbows was meant to complement OK Computer, musically, lyrically, and in structure. We found that the two albums can be knit together beautifully. By combining the tracks to form one playlist, 01 and 10, we have a remarkable listening experience. The transitions between the songs are astounding, and it appears that this was done purposefully. The lyrics also seem to complement each other. There appears to be a concept flowing through the 01 and 10 playlist. Ideas in one song is picked up by the next, such as “Pull me out of the aircrash,” and “When I’m at the pearly gates, this will be my videotape.”

To create the 01 and 10 playlist, begin with OK Computer’s track one, Airbag, and follow this with In Rainbow’s track one, 15 Step. Alternate the albums, track by track, until you reach Karma Police on OK Computer, making All I Need the tenth track on the 01 and 10 playlist. Follow Karma Police with Fitter Happier from OK Computer, for tracks eleven and twelve. These two tracks act as a bridge between the first ten and the following ten tracks on the 01 and 10 playlist. Then continue to alternate the albums again, picking up with Faust Arp on In Rainbows, with Electioneering on OK Computer as the following track.

Radiohead - 01 and 10 playlist:
1. Airbag (OK Computer)
2. 15 Step (In Rainbows)

12. Fitter Happier (OK Computer)
13. Faust Arp (In Rainbows)
14. Electioneering (OK Computer)

Omg.. they are so f***ing genious! Thanks for posting that
 
That is amazing. Only Radiohead could come up with something like that. I just made the playlist that they have there. I discovered that the beggining beat to 15 Step comes from Airbag!! This is insane. I'm listening to the whole thing.

Ok so I did the playlist, listened to it, and let me tell you, that article is true. When you listen to it, its like each song compliments the other. Its really amazing. Even the songs from OK sound better to me.
 
Awesome article, ragtag.:o

I can't believe this wasn't posted! Looks like they'll be touring in 2008, Billboard article HERE. I wonder how long it took to convince Thom, lol. And I wonder how long it'll take me to convince my mom, again:doh:

I'm watching right now :buzz:
 
It was basically Thom DJ'ing and being weird
Thom doing vocals + piano with Colin on bass (Bjork's "Uravel" GORGEOUS :wub:)
Dr. Tchock or Stanley w/e writing stuff on a blackboard (to whom it may concern, I give up)
It ends at "I give up"

The real thing is tomorrow so I hope they give us some previews of the other 8 songs. It was so weird seeing Thom, I don't think there's been a new picture or video of him for 8 months :shock:
 
omg I have been listening to their cover of "unravel" on repeat. its so beautiful, and Thom talked about covering it years ago, they finally did it
 
^^That video was hilarious. I'm so bummed I didn't get to see the webcast!! Oh well. Apparently they might post it so those who didn't see it can.

From greenplastic
It was officially announced today that TBD Records (Radiohead's own imprint)/ATO Records Group will be releasing the physical version of In Rainbows in the United States on January 1, 2008.
Released in download format earlier last month, In Rainbows has already received tremendous acclaim in the press. British music magazine Q wrote “In Rainbows is a brilliant work” while Rolling Stone said the album “delivers an emotional punch that proves all other rock stars owe us an apology.” New York magazine raved, “Radiohead has made their best music in years, maybe ever.”
The first two singles will be "Bodysnatchers" and "Jigsaw Falling in to Place".
More information about the release as well as touring plans are to follow.
