Recently a couple early pre-Radiohead/On A Friday demos called "Everybody Knows" and "Girl (In A Purple Dress)" were leaked online. A few days ago, another demo was released called "Putting Ketchup In The Fridge." Some people are referring to it as "How Do You Sit Still." Its got a chorus that's very much like "How Can You Be Sure," and its allegedly something from the Pablo Honey/Bends era, but there's a debate about whether or not its actually Radiohead. The guitar tones sound right and it sounds like Thom, but who knows. Its unfinished as you don't hear Jonny's second guitar. Fake or not, its still pretty cool to hear.

Not bad. A little ordinary. But pretty.

something i wish they were nowadays.

There was a song called "Some Things Must Go This Way" by a group called Paloalto that used to circulate online as a Radiohead song by the name of "Innocent Civilians." Seems obvious now that it isn't Radiohead, but back then I never really bothered to question.



To me the voice on this new leak doesn't sound quite mongrel-ish enough to be Bends-era Thom, but it's close enough that I wouldn't be surprised either way. It is a nice little tune, though. Authentic or not, B-sides and outtakes account for most of my favorite Bends-era material ("Maquiladora," "India Rubber," "Bishop's Robes," "How Can You Be Sure," "Talk Show Host," "Molasses").

The Radiohead track is a hoax. Its a Canadian singer/songwriter named Christopher Stopa.

Move along. Nothing to hear here.

Everybody Knows is a nice little song.
