[music, songs]

Question


I just read over at The Age (via the null device) that the fourteen songs on the new Radiohead album Hail to the Thief all have subtitles.

In the article the subtitles of two songs are mentioned: Brush the Cobwebs Out of the Sky (Sail to the Moon) and Judge, Jury & Executioner (Myxomatosis).

Does any of my readers have the complete list of subtitles (especially the one for Sit Down, Stand Up)? And could she/he post them in the comments if possible? A Google search yielded zero results. I ordered the album but it won't arrive here before Tuesday I'd guess.

The end of said article is about the album title and adds an ex-post (self-fulfilling prophesy?) explanation of it:

The group felt that The Gloaming sounded "too prog-rock," however, so that became the album's subtitle. In fact, all 14 songs on the album have subtitles, making for names as bulky as Sail to the Moon (Brush the Cobwebs Out of the Sky) and Myxomatosis (Judge, Jury & Executioner). That should provide nice ammunition for all those who find this band too intellectual by half. Greenwood explains the idea for the subtitles came from "old Victorian playbills which chronicled the kind of moralistic songs which were played in music halls. That whole theatre culture was wiped out by the development of cinema."

Hail to the Thief struck the group members as a "more declamatory" title, and therefore more desirable. The name also refers to the fact that much of the music for the album had been stolen from the studio and spread over the internet in early April.

"People all over the world had the record before we'd even finished it," Greenwood says. "That fragments and atomises the whole idea of a produced piece of music."

Almost innovative


PHANTABULISTIC, a word I thought I invented yesterday to describe the second song on Radiohead's new album (Shit. I wasn't the first one to use it). It was at I Love Music after I had posted eight threads on eight songs of the new album. How did this word originate in my mind? Maybe PHANTAstic (!) plus faBULous plus realISTIC?
