Subterranean and Letdown are the weak-points. "Fitter Happier" is dated. "Electioneering" I've always loved.

And yes, the "Morning Bell" rehash is shit compared to the original, BUT that album is fucking awwweesome. Anyway, as "over-rated" as Radiohead are, I love most of their records, and have for a long time.

KID A is up there. I would have said KID A until AMNESIAC came along. I just think AMESIAC takes the best ideas from KID and OK COMPUTER and perfects the combo.

I just think the best parts of Kid A (Everything, Disappear, Treefingers!, Optimistic, Morning Bell, Idiotheque) and Amnesiac (Packt, Pyramid, Pulk/, Wrong, Knives, Bears, Spinning Plates) could have been combined to create one of the best albums ever. I know someone will say "THAT WOULD RUIN THE FLOW" but something I've noticed about Radiohead is that their albums all have pretty weird flows. I don't think the fuzzy bass/horn freakout of The National Anthem fits with any of Kid A at all. All that really unifies their albums are some eerie, haunting melodies and bizarre noises that come from nowhere.

Anyway, I just can't get over how bad In Rainbows is/was. I do find it funny how people never talk about it anymore... even to hardcore Radiohead fans, it hasn't aged well. It's just embarassingly bad. Anyone else think the riff in Bodysnatchers sounds like a Queens of the Stone Age riff? Haha..

I really enjoy this:

This one time, ICP, and Radiohead were booked for the same show somewhere, and Thom Yorke kept on trying to barge into ICP's dressing room while they were painting up. Their manager repeatedly explained to Yorke that he would have to wait until they were done painting to get in (they only like to be seen with paint, or without paint - not in the process of applying it), but Thom wouldn't listen. So ICP's manager decked Thom Yorke right on his ass.

I quite liked IN RAINBOWS actually...

but I feel you on KID A/AMNESIAC. I mean, let's be real, it was BASICALLY a double album with each disc released what? 6 months apart?

back to work... its monday... what a better way to start the week?

















these are the cd's i have gone thru so far this morn. <3 <3 <3

speedy j -ginger

one of the best techno albums ever!

Carter II bonus disc, becuz I always like Chopped N Screwed music when it's raining.

Keith Jarrett - Radiance

I'm listening to james bbblack shawwwww's new disc for the 5th time. And.. it's kinda disappointing.

What's it called? (I'm lazy).

All is Falling.

I just deleted it.

Did you get the new Druid Perfume off of me, Derek? I'm going to up it later, for those who want it. It's VERY Beefheart-y.

^classic

Quarantine The Past

that reminded me I fell asleep to pan.sonic today.

Mmm Arvo Part.

Mmm Pan Sonic... that 4 disc set they did is one of my all time favorite albums.

MV & EE - Bollywoe

Slanted + Enchanted: Luxe & Redux

lame.

Swans - Children of God. Thanks for the recommendations one and all.

I listened to Wavvves last night and then that Best Coast album... WATCHA GONNA DO?

I actually like the Wavves album.

Sly and the Family Stone's medley on scratchy vinyl

Listening now and I think it's really good. Not really the same sort of stuff he used to do but I'm happy he's expanding. What is it you don't like about it?

Well I'll be damned. It looks like Los Lobos might've released my favourite album of the year so far.

The room mate playing Daniel Johnston tunage on her new keyboard. It's pleasant, but I'd rather be listening to something else. Oh well, 'least someone is doing something at least remotely creative.

i want to meet your room mate

My favorite band.

:)
