Street Spirit

So I think I kinda had to have it as my number one.

And shout out you guys for doing such an excellent podcast on the album, and going through track by track, and talking about those incredible songs like My Iron Lung, and Street Spirit, and, you know, even the, the, the less heralded songs off of that record, um, of which I'd say are kind of the rest of them really, apart from High and Dry and Just, which everyone goes on about as well.

But the entire record is a 10 out of 10 incredible, perfect, wonderful record which takes me back to school, my school days, and sort of discovering alternative music for the first time.

It's one of the first proper sort of alternative music, um, albums that I, I felt like was, was mine.

Mm

... which was my choice.

Uh, your choice off this was this one here, uh, Street Spirit.

Yeah, because I, what I, what I really enjoy is I like songs that peel all the skin off my emotions-

High and dry almost didn't make the album.

The band talked about it being ambivalent, like including it because it was too it was too accessible relative to what like Just and Street Spirit were doing.

You can hear why they were uncertain on an album that was pushing the guitar into new territory.

High and Dry is the track that sounds conventional.

Go to Sleep Live is playing in my head right now.

I'm not sure if you guys know how good fucking Radiohead is live, but Jesus Christ.

I want to talk about the song Street Spirit.

I've gone back to the bends a ton over the last few months since I've been, you know, correcting this, finishing it, whatever you want to call it.
