MacHead

[HCHaikuWarrior]

Little Thing / An Another Thing never was too too appealing to me, not terrible, but...

yeah its just alright, but i really do think theyre one and the same, just listen to the way it was finally finished off on SD, then pop in a radio head album, and also a number of other occurances, but uhh yeah.

thats your opinion, the information was never released from the band

machead=little thing/ an another thing

No, MacHead was created during the BTCS Sessions. Nobody has ever heard it, the only reason we even know about it is because, Lillywhite during an interview many years ago, was talking about the sessions and mentioned MacHead was a song that they made that was a cross between a Paul McCartney song and a Radiohead song.

Little Thing was written in 1995, so its not that.

Ok, there is no reason to say Little Thing isn't MacHead. Steve did not say it was written during those sessons. He just said that he thought it was one of Dave's best tunes that he brought in, and it felt to Steve that it was a cross between Radio Head and Paul McCartney. McCartney's nick name is Mac, so Steve labeled it MacHead. There was no other information ever said from the band or Steve about it (ther than the track list that was put up during the BTCS sessions, and a lot of the songs did not have names, like Last Stop was labeled Egyption Song, Rapunzle was the Funking 5, Dreaming Tree was Stefan's 7, Don't Drink the Water/Weight of the World/Leave Me Praying was labeled Drop D, and the Stone was Labeled Chim Chimminy.

But me and film really do think that Little Thing/An Another Thing is it. It's a song that has the really mellow creepy feel of Radiohead, and I think the lyrics remind me of soft mccarntey songs that had a feel like Eleanor Rigby. It also started to come back right after the sessions for a little while (that would make sense if Dave was playing it during the BTCS sessions).

Now, many songs have been mislabeld as MacHead that are definately not MacHead. One big mistake one was Reconcile (#56 some called it, but it wasn't their #56 song, so another mislabel). People thought it was MacHead because it was the first new song to Emerge after the Sessions. But then we learned it was just a Intro thing for DDTW that was abandoned, and d&t took it up, and it slowly changed into bartender.

I still am sure that Little Thing/An Another Thing is MacHead. It just makes sense

It's a good enough theory (as good as any are on the issue, I suppose), but there are a few insiders (flaming moe over on nancies to name one) that suggest that MacHead was broken up into parts and that those parts are alive and well in other songs. They never said that it was one song that is still kicking around, but that it is lyrically in pieces or something to that effect. Little Thing seems to be in one piece.

Of course, I'm not suggesting that this is fact; just another piece of the MacHead mystery.

Does anybody know why "The Stone" isn't called "Stone".

I heard from an interview that Dave isn't big on generalizing, so he put a "The " in front of Stone to make refernce to a particular stone. Hence, "The Stone"

actually RT, Rapunzel was called Funk in 5. 5 referring to the Time Sig

Thats all great except for the fact that Little Thing was written in 1995. The BTCS sessions when Dave brought MacHead in was in 1998 so its just not possible.
