Serious question for my music friends

I often hear people talk about how confusing the timing is in a bunch of Radiohead songs, which I would agree with for like Pyramid Song (though IMO a big part of that is Thom playing a little rubato) but I hear it said a lot for Videotape.

Now it seems like the studio version is just piano on the ones, with the drums coming in on the "and" after four and the first beat, There's supposed to be a live version that is shows that there's a "secret syncopation" but it sounded the same to me just with the drum playing kick in the 2 and snare on the 1 (and I am not of the belief that even if the timing was different live it would mean anything to the studio arrangement)

Are people counting the kick as the 1 when the drums come in?

What exactly am I missing here?

Is it the swing? The triplet feel in the vocal melody? The fact the piano is a little early on that live version (to my ears it sounds like it's meant to be the 1's and is just a touch rushed, the entire live version is a little rough timing wise not that I would do any better with that arrangement for the first time lol don't get me wrong they sound amazing and all)

Am I wrong or is everyone else?

It is that time of year again when nerdy people like me think that other people might care what they listened to or liked over the past year. If that is your sort of thing here are my year end music lists and if you are extra nerdy here is my podcast episode about it. You can listen via most streaming services or via this link

this isn’t me being freaky or anything I’m just a history and mythology nerd. Sports were done naked. That’s why women weren’t allowed the Olympics then bc they thought it would be indecent for women to watch naked men

So sorry I’m just a nerddddd

I loveee history but my favorite historical Olympic event was the 1912 Olympic marathon :D

Needing out again, sorry.

I’m just a bit history and mythology obsessed so if you ever want to know some history facts-

I’ll leave now sorry

Don't give me more reason to draw naked men-

He's here for the show...

Went to see my local state symphony play the soundtrack to Fellowship of the Ring!! :D

It was absolutely amazing, seeing the work of Howard Shore, along with the choral lyricism done by Fran Walsh, just surround your ears, and watching the movie felt like a whole other magical experience.

Also mini Legolas got to come too!

Stanford never became friends with Fiddleford.

Instead he got himself a different small friend group who cares a lot about him. At least about the Ford he pretended to be in college.

A kind, soft spoken formerly bullied genius who researches very dull stuff in Oregon and definitely not anything weird. Their Ford would never break any rules or ignore safety measures [unlike that other student they heard about during their college years.]

And then Ford stops answering their calls and loses his grant. 

It’s time for an intervention and they start pestering Ford with letters and calls until he finally agrees to meet them at a science convention, but he’ll take his brother with him.

They’re relieved! Ford is with Shermie! They like Shermie! It's a good thing that Ford still has one brother who isn't a good for nothing selfish criminal who destroyed his entire future!

If they ever get their hands on Ford’s evil twin they’ll make sure he’ll regret ever messing with their friend. Ford is too nice for revenge. They aren’t.

Meanwhile at the not-yet Mystery Shack, the Stans freshly survived their own angsty canon divergent tale of two stans AU and locked Bill out of Ford's mind like a week ago.

Stan: I don’t know how long Ford will keep me around but this will be good for him. He needs some friends to take care of him after I inevitably get kicked out again!

Ford: I only agreed to this because Stan insisted and I still haven’t found a way to thank him and apologize. I hope all my “friends” die in a fire.
