Kraftwerk Bracket: Packt Like Sardines In A Crushd Tin Box (6) v. Anyone Can Play Guitar (11)
"Packt Like Sardines In A Crushd Tin Box"
Amnesiac
(6)
Kid B’s opening track is monotonous and awkwardly danceable, drumming up authentic near-angst. Composed entirely with electronics, yet it comes across as calmingly organic, thanks to the sounds of bees and clanging bell.
"Anyone Can Play Guitar (live)"
Just
(11)
Here's a bit of trivia: the album version of this song was actually Radiohead's first single, coming out in EP format a couple month prior to that really popular one. But its this live version, which follows the "I wanna be Jim Morrison" wail with the worst guitar solo this side of Robby Krieger, more fully captures the sarcasm intended in that verse. I don't know what's funnier, that line, or the people who take it seriously.
