Here are some more dramatic chunes for your unnerved headtop. Radiohead have given us another outtake from OK Computer as part of the album's 20th anniversary special reissue OKNOTOK. It's called "Man of War," and the Radiohead… heads will recognize it as the fully matured version of "Big Boots," an oft-bootlegged cut dating back to The Bends. Here it's fully resplendent with strings, White Album guitar licks, and unfettered whammy pedal use.The accompanying video is very much in the surreal spirit of 1997 too, following an average Englishdude being hounded by invisible pursuers as reality keeps flipping on and off like a light switch. Who else remembers pre-millennium tension, as in both the general anxiety of those years and the Tricky album? Great times. Watch the "Man of War" video above.Phil is a Noisey staff writer.
