Now that is cool.   

I had an argument about the relevance of Radiohead on musical history with a coworker.

He started to compare them with Madonna and other things. I sent him some last.fm links to show him that way more people listen to Radiohead than to Madonna or the Beatles. I know that's a stupid criterion but he started it all.
Today he went home without saying goodbye 

I know, to each his own. But he also thinks that Bon Jovi is relevant. And he listenes to german folk music about gay cowboys, so what the hell 

How??

  In the same way that Bananarama and Steps are still relevant, no doubt.

Hahahaha 

I love this.

Bon Jovi are totally relevant. Don't disparage my Jersey roots, man.

you have jesery roots? 

which exit? 

no seriously. where?

I'll have you know that my brother worked security at the Bon Jovi concert at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, MA this past Saturday.   

His biggest fear was getting clawed to death by a bunch of 40-something women with big hair.   

Exit 9, represent!

My best friend and I used to ride our bikes through the tiny bit of woods behind our neighborhood, climb over a chainlink fence, and eat at the Roy Rogers and TCBY at the rest area between exits 8 and 9.

i left nj at age 8 so i'm not totally clear on exits. which town is that? i was born in long branch, then moved to middletown near red bank.

Dude, HELL TO THE YEAH.

The back of my bike's milk-crate basket has a sticker that reads "on a steel horse I ride." 

East Brunswick! I was born in Morristown, then lived in Livingston, then EB. We left when I was 13. Apparently East Brunswick's claim to fame is that this guy:



is from there. (Er, not that guy, or those other guys...)


Rock on.

awwww 



my radiohead moment of the day.. i have some photos of a radiohead concert up on facebook i had all but forgotten about. and then this showed up just now 

  Phil is so awesome that he's the only one in focus. 

I know, right? Would've been even better if they'd left contact details or something but you can't have everything

eta: may well be able to cap it now, actually. With my new RHMOTD. That is to say I'm doing a University () course over this summer holiday about darwinism and evolution; included in the course materials are a DVD I've just sat down to watch only to discover that literally the first thing I hear is "Jigsaw Falling Into Place."

Whenever something like this happens, I consider it a sign from Thom. Or maybe I absorb the Time Vortex at a concert at some point in the indeterminate future and then have to engineer a series of coincidences ensuring that I go there.

on train from cologne to bonn: listening to reckoner and spotting a gigantic rainbow!   

Fellow professorial dude stole my idea!    

I wanted to use that song SO BADLY in a multimedia presentation about the biology of cancer.
It kind of has that "things fall apart" vibe, ya know?

I decided I needed to buy a tin to store my chocolate stash (which was fairly impressive even before Belgium).

And this is the tin I bought:

  Thumbs up!

omg

LOL! I actually did laugh out loud

Hi! I don't post here much but this is just to say that I went to see Inception last night and Kid A was playing beforehand in the cinema. Best album ever for the best movie ever. Yay!

Hello there! You should introduce yourself in the newcomers thread 

Nice! Where in the world are you? I saw 'Inception' with a trailer for the Facebook film and it included Scala's cover of Creep.

I'm french, I live in Bordeaux.

Salut Vixen Kim, je suis française aussi...

Cool! Et tu vis où?

Last night I had a dream that I listened to LP8 for the first time.

It was dreadful.  Half of it was Deliverance-style hillbilly music ("yeehaa!"), and the other half sounded pretty much exactly like 1980s hair metal.    Seems like Thom's hairband is not missing its effect on my subconscious. 

In the dream, I was of course desperately trying to convince myself that this was an "interesting" direction for Radiohead to go in. 

I hope this was a dream and not prophetic dream.

 

Okay, so I had this dream that I was going to see Radiohead with, you know, the gang. I was really excited because they were going to recreate the gigs they did in the 90s, before OKC, and it was in a really small venue. Full of comfy chairs. Anyway, I was talking about how the last time I saw them was in a stadium with 10K people, and so on, and how rare it was for them to play in such a small place, let alone to stage a repeat of one of the older shows.

The "older shows"? Involved Thom greeting everyone at the door and speaking nonsense to them-- literal nonsense, like "amdnferougngnglnlkg". We all got to shake his hand as we entered, and he looked at each one of us and said "amdnferougngnglnlkg". He was blonde. I was surprised to find out that he was actually taller than me. This impression was reinforced once we got in and claimed a comfy chair or two-- though we quickly left those for rail, and I had an "Ed side, Thom, Jonny side" moment, deciding on Jonny-- and a set of doppelgangers, dressed up like RH took the stage, and "Thom" was as tall as "Ed". It was all a big joke! It was the local roadies, pretending to be them! Just like they did in, um, '95, I was told. Lots of laughs and applause. Then real RH comes out, with Jonny in a multicoloured dress! He quickly jumped off stage and took off running to the right, followed by screaming fangirls, like a drag queen version of Justin Beiber. There was a lot of approval at this maneuver too, as somebody told me that in the old days they regularly played games of tag with the audience throughout the venue. But what's happening onstage? There are now glass sliding doors between us and the band, who are pressing their faces up against it and pawing at the glass. Hilarious! Then somehow it was all over, and Thom was sitting on stage and I was talking to him, saying I was so pleased to see the old style performance, because I first say RH back in 2001 (not true, IRL, it was 2003, but I did start listening to them seriously in 2001) and had missed it all. Thom was all "cool" in a noncommittal way.

And that was my latest RH dream. At least it didn't involve me turning down Thom's advances because it would be WRONG.

 

My Last dream was Thom announcing the delay of LP8 because he wanted to take some time off and telling Ed to give all his belongings, including the Darjeeling he loves to drink to "all the girls you're usually with, you know".

I have NO idea.
 

And to think that you missed your chance to request Big Boots.
A nightmare indeed! 

Friend texted me to let me know Thom was listed as a vegan in her VegNews magazine.

I spent my evening recording an a capella cover of Dollars & Cents.

Another one of those songs that get even better when you pick 'em apart.

I want to hear this. ↑

Post post post. Is it on your tumblr? I am so behind.

No, not yet.

Here's a link if you want.

I could've done more mouth drumming but I'm not too good at that, so I left it like this.

Dorien, I have an eager request from a friend for more, but I don't know your Tumblr site... can you pm me?

This cover is amazing.
