So Weird Fishes/Arpeggi is one of my all-time favorite songs by Radiohead. In fact, it is one of my all-time favorite songs - full stop.

There's just something about the arpeggio pattern and Thom Yorke's singing that's totally enchanting.

Luckily for humanity, there are two wonderful live versions of the song.

Scotch Mist sessions

And the brilliantly produced From the Basement version recorded at Hospital Club in London.

Especially in this version, one must pay attention to the fucking clockwork that is Philip Selway. Good lord, that hihat and snare drum work. For five minutes straight. Unbelievable.

Beyond, there is also the somewhat official music video with stop motion. This video is so surreal and adds greatly to the eerie, spooky, otherwordly scenario that the lyrics describe.

So out of sheer moodiness, I did a little recording the other day when we were shooting something with cursed bunny. It's attached. The amp is NDSP Morgan in Default setting.

I get eaten by the worms.
