For the month of November, I’ll be selecting songs in conjunction with the music Twitter challenge: #WelcomeToTheOccupation.

The story of Romeo + Juliet is a complex one, filled with every human emotion — from pure ecstasy to torment. The soundtrack, as good as it was, was filled with tracks that erred on the happier spectrum, and gave us some great ones from Des’ree, Garbage and, of course, The Cardigans. But “Talk Show Host” steered the backend of human emotion, and did it the Radiohead way. It also has the distinction of being the b-side to the Radiohead anthem, “Street Spirit”.

For casual fans, “Talk Show Host” is a bit of a forgotten track. But for Radiohead fans, it’s considered one of the more memorable songs in their catalog. Playing second fiddle to “Street Spirit”, “Talk Show Host” demonstrated Radiohead’s ability to create more than music. They created a mood. Everything is unexpected here: the vocal delivery, the drumming, the bass line, the arresting sparseness of Jonny’s guitar. “Talk Show Host” felt more like a film score than a single, which made it a perfect addition for the Romeo + Juliet soundtrack, bringing out emotions no other song on the album cared to explore.

“I want to be someone else or I'll explode.”
