I Am a Wicked Child
Harmonica and a stomp: the closest this band came to the blues.
2003
the b-side
It went out on the second CD of the “Go to Sleep” single and later on Com Lag. It is built on harmonica over a heavy stomp, which is not a sound Radiohead use anywhere else: something like a back-porch song with the porch rotted through.
Little else is documented about it.
