Teignmouth

It might even have been you organised the place.

And the place was the Ivy House Hotel in Tinmouth.

Okay,

yeah.

well the thing was we couldn't plug through the pa because the

oh that was it so we were playing on the floor on the corner of the dance floor

with just like a single amp or maybe two amps or something like that and so the whole sound was compressed into basically one speaker or two speakers or whatever and it the sound was awful and and this is my fault i made the mistake When we played that very first gig in Tinmouth, we just did a set.

I can't remember how many songs, about eight songs.

What had happened was communicated to the whole kingdom far more rapidly than by gazettes or newsletters.

A brief for the relief of the people of Teignmouth was read in all the 10,000 parish churches of the land.

No congregation could hear without emotion that the popish marauders had made desolate the habitations of quiet and humble peasants, had outraged the altars of God, had torn to pieces the Gospels and the communion service.

A street built out of the contributions of the charitable on the site of the dwellings which the invaders had destroyed still retains the name of French Street.

The question had ceased to be a question between two dynasties and had become a question between England and France.

Dryden, not long after the burning of Teignmouth, laid a play at the feet of Halifax with a dedication eminently ingenious, artful, and eloquent.

The dramatist congratulated his patron on having taken shelter in a calm haven from the storms of public life and with great force and beauty of diction magnified the felicity of the statesman who exchanges the bustle of office and the fame of oratory for philosophic studies and domestic endearments.

He... brought something to this that i don't think a lot of bass players have done for an album it's pretty fucking crazy shit and the the piano to me the piano and butterflies and hurricanes is fucking unreal yeah um yeah let's go to awards and categories let's do it okay okay david crosby met award rolling stone gave it two out of five stars and the reason that i'm bringing up rolling stone is because well you'll see why When Radiohead began to explore electronic textures in Kid A, it fell to upstart UK bands such as Coldplay, Travis, Star Sailor, and Muse to provide the world with disconsolate, Pink Floyd-worthy guitar rock.

So give Muse, from the English town of Teignmouth, some credit for adopting Radiohead's bombastic approach and adding prog-rock-style instrumental virtuosity.

That is Rolling Stone magazine's review.

Calling Radiohead bombastic.
