a bump on the head...

so for tonight's edition i am starting off with the following: i have much to say, but i'm not feeling the words coming into my head. so please excuse if the drivel drivels.

a word on radiohead. i believe in radiohead. but i believe at the same time i'm blinded from reality. i need outside perspective. and yet the people i trust most would only share the same opinion, and the others would claim to know nothing. i just really think radiohead is superb. also, i believe a reasonable debate could be held regarding a challenge of merits between the Beatles and radiohead. I believe the obvious winner would be the beatles in basically any type of comparator excercise. However, i think to debate the merits could be interesting. I think that says quite a bit about my opinion of radiohead.

Sadly today a weird piece of my childhood was destroyed. I say weird because the circumstances were weird, it was actually a quite normal type of thing to happen to a young gentleman. So Trent Reznor called out Chris Cornell? A) How are these two still relevant? B)Trent, buddy, the sheer volume of shit you've released could probably fill at least one of those arenas your music doesn't any more ... fuck ... my most epic burn ever. C)That burn came out of nowhere ... actually Trent is probably right. I listened to about 15 seconds of CC's first single and began to feel like i was being tortured. It was fucking.awful. D)Its just sad that it had to come to a insult via ... twitter. maybe i should get twitter now that I AM THE INSULT MASTER BUUURRRRNNNN...

so when I was recently posed with the question: favorite album of all time ... i was stumped. I simply could not answer that. To save the suspense I still cannot (without any hesitation) answer that. However, I am intrigued by my choices for assemblage of the vinyl collection. And I reflected on my first three full priced purchases. So far the order is Kid A, Person Pitch, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea ... Certainties of the collection include Strawberry Jam, Feels, Sung Tongs, Every R-head album .... ever pressed .... to vinyl. Leviathan (though fearful this would explode my record player). Old Money. Umm ... well right now all i can think of is how awesome animal collective and radiohead sound on vinyl ... its amazing.

Less Oppressing Matters:

Dude, did you see this video? I'm ok with Deerhunter going mainstream. At least bro still has Atlas Sound to go fucko with. Pfork sucks because they simply could not believe that radiohead responded with a childish quote about the whole miley cyrus newberfiasco so they hounded their camp until they blamed it on their publicist. Lamezies all around guys.

the best song on Dark Was the Night is Yeasayer's Tightrope. At the moment. There is so much to dig into with that album. I mean at some point i'm going to have to pay attention to the 8 or 9 minute long decemberists jam, i'm actually kind of scared about how good that song might be.

Also... Bill ... because at the moment you're the only person who reads these words you're going to hear this in a weird 3rd person kind of way. But that's ok. I just want to say this.... So today I got totally amazed at how Bill always seems to be 5 minutes behind, but also 2 minutes ahead at all times. I mean, specifically music tastes. But perhaps someone who knows him better would be able to comment additionally in a different context. I don't know. All I know is 5 minutes behind but 2 minutes ahead. He was all over Leaf House today ... I was so proud and so jealous all at the same time! <--- that's seriously a weird sentence. Dude, remember that one interview where Noah Lennox was like "i'd be a janitor, that job seems easy, i could probably do that". Their fucking legend grows every god damn day .... i literally believe those guys are on drugs all the time. Yeah ... so this was fun.
