Talk:Fake Plastic Trees/Archive 1

Very short
This article is too damn short for a song of this stature. Someone needs to come and write some more. "A song written for the world of mass marketing and mass consumption." - is just an interpretation, it's probably one of the more popular ones. Skinnyweed 05:48, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

another question
second to last sentence: "The song rarely miss the live spot of their set-lists, as the band are considered great live band." any idea as to what this sentence is all about? Antitext 04:23, 19 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that was weird. I changed it; see what you think. Folkor 08:00, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Canary Wharf
Can someone explain the canary wharf link. it seems very tenuous. Bwithh 23:58, 11 February 2006 (UTC)


 * There's some discussion on this subject here.
 * Apparently Thom Yorke states "this song's called Fake Plastic Trees....it's about Canary Wharf" on Live at the Astoria. If someone has this VHS/DVD, they could maybe confirm this fact? --David Edgar 15:47, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Fakeplastictrees1.jpg

Other covers
Puracane did a song called Fake Plastic Trees in their album http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Limbo:_The_Lost_Puracane_Sessions. Don't know if it's a cover or a coincidence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.168.222.70 (talk) 08:03, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Opening
The song isn't about CO2 capture (Thom Yorke has desribed it as being about "going shopping" and "Canary Wharf"), but does appear to use a geoengineering reference metaphorically. Perhaps this should be noted. Fester Smith (talk) 03:08, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Live Lounge
"KT Tunstall also covered this song in Radio 1's Live Lounge, the cover featues in the compilation album Radio 1's Live Lounge: Volume 2."

Er... really? Since when? I got this compilation for christmas and I'm pretty sure KT Tunstall didn't cover this... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.146.42.63 (talk) 23:03, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

It was on the b-side of her "Another Place To Fall" single (Andrew07 (talk) 22:15, 18 April 2010 (UTC))
