Amnesiac - Radiohead

happy happy day!

best birthday wishes, sulky!

so, this is what i have to look forward to? mmmm, not bad.

the first LP i bought was The Beatles - Rarities. Why Rarities? it was new? it was on sale? probably for the german language versions on it, so i could take it to German class and impress the teacher. I became a Beatlemaniac, that lasted thruout high school. I mean, I still love the Fab Four, but i ...

WHEEEEEEEE!!

Poppet twirls w/ glee!!!

oooh, this sounds lovely!

(yes, i am a giddy sort.)

i'm w/ cope, at least until he starts chattering about Juliet Letters, which i haven't heard yet.

cope, i'll be over *real soon* to get that disc.

(not. unfortunately. no overseas travel in the near future, darn it.)

oooh, isn't that lovely! congrats on your acquisition!

firebetty, could you smooch those babies for me? smooching babies is one of the wonders of the universe. i love babies. as long as they ain't mine, i loves 'em. wanna hold 'em, and smooch 'em. amazing things.

well, i gotta say, i much prefer Joy Division or Cure. in fact, i did in those days too. BUT my friends didn't listen to it, i honestly didn't know anyone who did. i sat in front of MTV for hours hoping for an Adam Ant video. and yes, i remember when MTV started. what was it, 12 videos total, and 8 ...

i don't own any metal, but i have a soft spot for it. 'back in black' by ac/dc always makes me thing of hanging in the back seat of my bud's mustang, waiting for everyone to figure out what the hell we were gonna do. there's no where to go except 'around' nothing to do but 'hang', but we still had t...

Bowie. why? 1) poppet is a major sucker for the UK lads. (lasses too, honestly. UK accent, poppet is your friend until you prove yourself unworthy.) 2) i've actually seen bowie in concert. of course, it was the (ewww!) Let's Dance tour, which i'm sure the world wishes had never happened, but hey, it...

5. Metropolis (Kino version)


oh, this is the best, definitive version. that movie finally makes sense, and it is a Very Good Movie!

highly recommended.

....I thought the line was 'boots and car keys' and now I get the reissue and find out it's 'boots and khakis'--do car keys and khakis rhyme somewhere in the UK? .... sounds like a bostonian talking. khakis and car keys sound completely the same to a bostonian. very odd, i agree. throw the r away! ...

given that we're told we should see radiohead live, and chatter on the old board re: Mr. Malkmus, i thought the following would be of interest: Radiohead With Special Guests Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks Tweeter Center for the Performing Arts Mansfield, MA August 13, 2003 - 7:30PM Eastern On sale ...

well, dang, no headless chickens. we did call and response singing though, everybody knows sledgehammer.

well, i had fun. got home around 2am, wheeeee! partial remembered setlist, w/ comments: (forgive me if i goof titles, etc. i don't feel like looking it all up. i am not familiar w/ PG's work other than one really old tape and what got played on the radio.) opening band, moroccan (?) group, nice soun...

okay, it was a pipe dream. i'm gonna stick around the Boston area instead of getting my sorry self to Chicago for the free EC show. well, when i say it like that, it sounds almost pathetic. but really, i'm just pooped. feeling my age perhaps? eww, that would be nasty. i do have tickets (crappy seats...

yeah, alcoa is the dump and maryville the nice side. i've never lived there (i might have spent months there when i was very small, but don't remember) but visited often. hey, my stuckup aunts were born in alcoa! i'd tease them, but they're long gone now. all that country music listening i was force...

El Vez, my mother's people are from Maryville/Alcoa TN. still have relatives there. and i'm serious, i do want to go to Dollywood. Went to Opryland when i was a teenager, and i could NOT appreciate it. i now know better. youth is so freakin' wasted on the young. best wishes for the home search! i ha...

Dollywood! whoa, i wanna go to Dollywood!

did you see the episode of Graham Norton, when he went to Dollywood? SCREAMINGLY FUNNY! Dolly even dressed as a boy for her appearance on his show. i taped it, it was so silly.

am i sick, given that i LIKE days like SLC described? well, only when i can get the answers to people. i LOVE being the saviour.

yeah, i know, i am sick. could be worse. i could think elvis costello is absolute crap. which, i don't.

beckham's going to real madrid! i don't pay real attention to footy (soccer, football, etc.) but whatcha' think?

nah, that wasn't me at Legal. was that Only Guessing? who's away until fall, i think? i'm not gonna' go look it up.

many people got sick off the food at this dump. i didn't because i *do* have a mostly cast-iron stomach. except for the lactose intolerant thing.

it's part of what makes her such a great american, for a BBC-generated list. she's easily hated. "insert wicked grin here"

of course fictional characters count.

e.g., Homer Simpson.

me, i vote for Buffy. she's so much better than all those damned GUYS. kicks ass and is cute too. totally american.

cbartal, i can't go to scotland w/ my friends this summer - i goofed and miscounted my vacation days. i don't have enough to justify the expense of the ticket, i'd only be there a week. they're staying for two. so, i'm thinking about going to chicago instead. it's the same time frame. but yeah, what...
