So I was reading this cracked article (cracked.com) last night and it had to do with 10 of the most unbelievable "easter eggs" meaning hidden things on albums or album covers. Number 8 had to do with Radiohead and there albums Ok Computer and In Rainbows, which is their most recent and was released independant of a label. Basically it consisted of the fact that if you were to alternate between songs from kid A and In rainbows back in forth on a playlist they would go into each other as if it were one big album, but they were made 10 years apart. I mean that's not that hard, you just take the 10 songs your doing 10 years later and have them start with what the other songs finnished with but it also has to do with melody. My brother is an amazing guitarist and knows every single radiohead song to the point that he can literal say which song is it from hearing the first 3 seconds of a song. He was impressed by some of things and how it made sense because he had always felt some of the songs ended or began strangely the respective albums.
Here's the link to the article --> http://www.cracked.com/article_18896_10-mind-blowing-easter-eggs-hidden-in-famous-albums.html
I'm sure many of you would enjoy this, actually you might really enjoy this website though they tend to promote a lot of "official agendas" and make fun of conspiracy theorists...
Basically the reason I bring this up is because APPARENTLY 10 is a really big number with regards to these ablums as the article explains.
Radiohead's In Rainbows came out on 10/10/2007, 10 years after OK Computer, and there are 10 letters in the names of both albums. Additionally, OK Computer's original working title was Zeroes and Ones, or "01," (the mirror image of "10" ... obviously). Even that last part alone is enough to make Radiohead fans start looking for a crazy conspiracy, as you're probably aware if you've ever had to spend a long car ride sitting beside one. The scary part? This time they'd be totally right.
There's a way to combine the tracks from OK Computer (hereinafter referred to as 01) and In Rainbows (hereinafter referred to as 10), to form one huge mega-album. As Puddlegum explains, "To create the 01 and 10 playlist, begin with OK Computer's track one, "Airbag," and follow this with In Rainbow's track one, "15 Step." Alternate the albums, track by track, until you reach "Karma Police" on OK Computer, making "All I Need" the tenth track on the 01 and 10 playlist." It's not that they sound nice together; it's that these songs were definitely meant to make us shit our pants when played like this. In the way that "Golden Slumbers," "Carry That Weight" and "The End" all flow into each other on The Beatles' Abbey Road, these songs all flow into one another as well, as if they were all recorded in one big session.
Don't believe us? Just listen to it. To get the full effect, you need to set your player with a 10-second crossfade between tracks (more 10s!), but you can notice most stuff without doing that. Then shit your pants.
This blogger points out that the song "Nude" (10 album), starts with the reverb from "Subterranean Homesick Alien" (01 album) still lingering, and the beats at the end of "Airbag" (01) set the tempo for "15 Step" (10). There's nothing unusual about that ... except when you consider that those songs were written and recorded 10 years apart. The pants-shitting synchronicity also applies to the lyrics. Puddlegum gives some examples and says: "There appears to be a concept flowing through the 01 and 10 playlist. Ideas in one song [are] picked up by the next." In fact, one of the songs from In Rainbows was originally written for OK Computer and not used for 10 years, and the title of another seems to sum up the whole thing: "Jigsaw Falling Into Place."
Remember all that "10" stuff we mentioned up top, about the date, the time between albums, the number of letters in the titles and whatnot? Want more? Radiohead themselves announced In Rainbows only 10 days before it came out (which is rather unusual), and the announcement was followed by a series of 10 cryptic messages posted by the band on their website. That's nothing new: Cryptic messages might be the only way alternative rock musicians know how to communicate. But then Radiohead fans, being Radiohead fans, noticed that the messages emphasized the letter X (one image was titled "Xendless Xurbia"). And, say, isn't "X" the Roman numeral for 10? Plus, let's take a look at this cover art real quick.
The band has never officially confirmed any of this, though Puddlegum claims Thom Yorke was annoyed by how long it's taken people to figure it out. Come on, dude -- not all of us are insane alien geniuses.
Now this fits in I guess with those who believe that the music industry is run by luciferians. I cannot say I truly believe that but I dont know, weird shit happens. I recall hearing that 10 was the number of God in some tree of life so that the magic of 9/11 is jumping from 9 to 11, thus skipping God and claiming to be more powerful. It was in this video I heard this Dolasci pt 43 The Symbolism of 9 11 - YouTube starting at 8:45 or so (I'm not sure who is speaking).
So basically if the music industry is satanic and 9/11 is sanatic and 10 is God and then Radiohead has a big thing about the number 10 particularly once they were independant of God could this be their big fuck you to the music industry and luciferians?
