There is nothing I can say that you haven't read before. I caught Radiohead this past August on a blazing hot Chicago night. Maybe Thom and company didn't realize that 90% humidity can almost magically grab onto sound and deprive it of its speed and intensity or maybe the band just didn't feel up to rocking out at full force. Whatever the reason, on that particular evening Radiohead came up short.

Thankfully, I Might Be Wrong sounds how Radiohead should sound live: brutal (the cacophonous sample layering in "Everything in its Right Place"), catchy (the bass line of "I Might Be Wrong"), danceable (the beats on "Idioteque") and mesmerizing (the simplicity of "True Love Waits"). Only complaint: why the hell is this disc so short?

A.K. GOLD | A.K. Gold lives in Washington, D.C., where she slaves away for a non-profit organization and constantly compares everything to New York City or Chicago. She's earned her "cred" as a college radio and pre-1960 country music DJ, committed indie label street teamer, sporadic zinemaker/contributor, retired mail-order filler and occasional freelance writer. From time to time, she publishes Anecdotal Evidence, a per zine that will some day be considered for the National Book Award, or possibly not.
