  Seven Songs for the Week #89

  Jason Carty

  Everything In Its Right Place has achieved an odd kind of ubiquity over the near quarter century since it first appeared. It's a song that opens things: On Kid A it was the first thing we got to hear of the new weird Radiohead; this week it opens this playlist because I started watching The Day Of The Jackal remake (it's...fine, could be so much better) and EIIRP opens that. Steven Haydn wrote a great book about Kid A a few years back and noted that when this song appeared a year after its release in the movie Vanilla Sky, it demonstrated that New Radiohead still existed in the mainstream.
