04年5月,BBC特邀Jonny为BBC的音乐会创作一首曲子
'Popcorn Superhet Receiver' was comissioned by BBC Radio 3 and premiered on april 23rd 2005 at LSO St Luke's, with the BBC Concert Orchestra and Robert Ziegler. The piece was inspired by radio static and the extended, dissonant chords of Polish composer Penderecki’s 'Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima'. A recording of the premiere performance, which lasts over 19 minutes, was aired on the BBC Radio 3 programme ‘Mixing it’ on june 24th 2005:
'Popcorn Superhet Receiver'是Jonny受BBC Radio3委托制作,05年4月23日,在LSO St Luke
Jonny,Robert Ziegler,BBC管弦乐团演奏了这首曲子。电波的静电噪音给了jonny创作这首曲子的灵感,当中不和谐的和弦是了波兰先锋作曲家Penderecki的作品“广岛受难者挽歌”的采样。BBC Radio3的Mixing it节目在05年24日播出了 这首19分钟曲子的录音
On september 30th 2005 Radiohead posted a picture of a session blackboard on Dead Air Space. The photo shows a list of songs and ideas the band had been working on during the two weeks of rehearsals from september 19th to 30th. On the lower right hand side Thom wrote 'PSR - Jonny loops - BBC'. Apparently they considered using samples from a recording of 'Popcorn Superhet Receiver' in one way or another:
05年9月30日,Radiohead在Dead Air Space上面贴了一张会议的黑板的图在Dead Air Space上面,这张照片上面有一张歌曲的列表和一些想法,这些都是乐队在9月19日到30日的排练中获得的,在左边的偏下的地方Thom写了“'PSR - Jonny loops – BBC”几个字,很显然他们打算采样一些“Popcorn Superhet Receiver”中的片断做为素材。
