Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of these "In Rainbows" songs was not performed on the 2006 tour?

Answer: Reckoner

A fan-recorded live version of a song of the same title came out on the bootleg box set "Towering Above the Rest." The "In Rainbows" version is nothing like the box set version, however.

2. Which Radiohead artist-in-residence did most of the artwork for "In Rainbows?"

Answer: Stanley Donwood

Stanley has done the artwork for pretty much every Radiohead-related release, including the E.P.s and singles. His prints run about $300-$400 and are sold in editions of 150.

3. What MAJOR record label agreed to release "In Rainbows" in stores following the Oct. 1st announcement but then did not end up officially releasing the album?

Answer: Parlophone

Parlophone announced they would release the album in brick-and-mortar stores in early 2008. The record was actually released by XL and TBD.

4. The remaining questions are all about lyrics and song titles. This song starts "When I'm at the Pearly Gates..." Name it.

Answer: Videotape

This song was highly anticipated by the download community, but dramatically changed from the live version performed on the '06 tour.

5. Complete the quote from "House of Cards": "Forget about your house of cards..."

Answer: "...and I'll do mine."

Very little changed from the 2006 live versions. FYI, the line sung between the "Denial, Denial," sections at the end is "Your ears should be burning."

6. Which of these lines does NOT come from "Jigsaw Falling into Place?"

Answer: 'cause I can't do it face-to-face

Many of these lyrics are difficult to decipher. The song seems to be about mating rituals in a club.

7. This older Radiohead song was re-recorded for "In Rainbows" with a new bass line, a few vocal changes, and much less xylophone. Name it.

Answer: Nude

The "In Rainbows" version was performed on the 2006 tour and was lauded by longtime fans of the band. It has also been referred to as "Big Ideas."

8. Finish the quote from "15 Step": "15 Steps, then...."

Answer: "...a sheer drop."

This song begins "In Rainbows." Thom plays some percussion in the intro for the live shows.

9. Complete the quote from "All I Need": "I'm in the middle of your picture lying in the..."

Answer: reeds

This song makes relationship metaphors that set a lot of the tone for the attitude of the speaker throughout the album. "I'm a dog trapped in your hot car." "I only stick with you because there are no others."

10. Complete the quote from "Arpeggi:" "I get eaten by the worms and weird fishes. ______ by the worms and weird fishes."

Answer: picked over

This act is viewed by the speaker as an "escape."
