post 1st listen: Radiohead, In Rainbows

Nice.
Opening grooves w/ drum n bass, yet maintains radio head background textures.
Mix of speed and slow
interesting textures:
-switching sounds in song,
-electronic & acoustic sounds: together and separate
use of dissonance in time, melody (esp. ethereal vocal lines)
new song forms
pretty, introspective vamps
imperfections. abrupt, unexpected endings. raw.
