I don't have pictures, but I saw them at Coachella in 2004, and they rocked out with their cocks out.  One of the dudes proposed to his girl on stage, which was sweet.  Oh, and 'Anthems' absolutely kills, live.  'Stars and Sons' too.

Coachella? More jealousy! I would totally be all over that if I lived on the West Coast, could get tickets, did not fear the heat and hippies, &c.

I would not kill a man for a Klondike bar, but you better believe I'd waste some bitches for the chance to see Radiohead and look Thom Yorke in his wonky eye.

Gaah. Last.fm has none of this ban-per-hour limit nonsense. I just ban ban ban the day away (extracting immoderate pleasure from blocking those tasteless tunes from Pavement, Weezer etc).

Well, I can ban as many songs as I want - it's just that sometimes I have to keep listening to them till they're over. Which is maybe a fair punishment for how picky and opinionated I am.

Edit:  y-h gets a tiny can of Dr Pepper for having a blog written in Portuguese.  Which I have always suspected was invented by aliens who were trying to imitate a Romance language but got their information over a bad connection.  What a relief to be out of academia and be able to admit that...

It was a lot of fun.  I'm not a big Radiohead fan, but it was fun to see them.  I love the Cure, but they weren't too great.  The Pixies, of course, killed.  Not as great as when I saw them a few months later, but still great.  I might go this year, but I probably won't.  It's too dang expensive, I'm too dang broke, and I hated camping with a bunch of dang dirty kids.  The booze is expensive and it's a pain to get in to the booze areas.  You can't bring in your own booze, and they search you pretty extensively in case you try to.  Yeah, and the heat.  I like the heat, but not enough to generally spend three days outisde in it.

But man, it rocked.

Dude, Portuguese. Sometimes I think the rest of the word quite doesn't know what to make of it, like "But don't we have Spanish, already? What's the point in having this thing that just looks a lot like Spanish?". It's a mistery, man. It's the beautiful mistery of language, and all that.

Dude.  Dude.  You are my new best friend. 

I have an unhealthy obsession with Radiohead.

[misterqueue]

Saw Radiohead like a year ago when they toured about with Ol' Stephen Malkmus of Pavement.

I remember hearing the opener and thinking "Hey that sounds like Stephen Malkmus" and then he said "Hi, I'm Stephen Malkmus" and lo and behold I was shocked at my um.. rightitude.

Anyway I wrote about it, um... here

also, don't read anything else at that link.. or anywhere else for that matter.  That's all.  Bleep.

[Hobot]

A very entertaining review, misterqueue.  I particularly enjoyed the conversation with your friend, which is exactly the kind of conversation you need to have when you're seeing Radiohead fuck*ng live.

"Everything in Its Right Place" and "The National Anthem" are two of my favourite songs of theirs.

[misterqueue]

Yes, he was rather upset at me, but in the end I like to think he would've done the same in my position.

Actually, I damn well know he would, because he sent me a picture of him with a certain hottie that we were both enamoured of some time later.

I got him back with a picture of Flava Flav and I at a party in Miami.

He's yet to 1up that, I'll keep everyone posted.*


*Even if you don't care.

[Bozack]

Thom Yorke is so intelligent and perceptive, I think we will now fight with knives.

[side_show]

Verdict?

Through a situation that is long and boring to explain I accidentally bought a copy of Death Cab For Cutie "Plans" with a gift receipt.  It is currently sealed and I could keep if for any other CD in the world.  Is it worth keeping?  I do not have any other DCFC music, and only have the vaguest recollection of not hating them.

What say you?

[CortJstr]

Death Cab is way too mellow for me but the SO think's that they're the wasps' nipples

[pmcd9]

Anyway I wrote about it, um... here

That's a good review and not too far off from my experience seeing them here in our (curiosly non corporate named) outdoor shed.  Seriously I don't know why people go to concerts if they are only going to talk loudly through the entire event.  The band seemed less inspired as well.  Perhaps they could sense they were playing for a bunch of uncaring fucks.  They kicked so much ass in London (and Cardiff) though and when they played sail to the moon, you could hear a pin drop.

Anyway, none of this is helping AD and Wombat.  Everybody (especially those that got goodies from him) send AD a sampler of new music.  It's an honest appeal.  He wants to know what the cool kids are listening to.  Me, i'd kill for another mix from Bozack or Starlight.  I still listen to those two reguarly.

Honey, those aren't children, they're packets of cream cheese.


Also side_show, Death Cab is wondrous but I think Plans is my least favorite release of theirs.  Check out The Photo Album and We Have the Facts instead would be my suggestion; but that's... just... me...

I'm a bit late here on this, but...
I find most my cool music finds through my cool london friend's lj, the sigur ros forum, mp3 blogs (the best one I've been checking since the summer is largehearted boy since it updates everyday), and random users on soulseek who I friend and check up on based on other stuff I liked and downloaded from them (as of today, I downloaded the new ester drang -- reminds me of ulrich schnauss and if that doesn't ring a bell it's a bit shoegazery ambient pop, islands -- members of former band, The Unicorns; that's all I know and The Lovely Feathers which I found through lhb with one mp3 that was linked, but never located the whole thing on soulseek till tonight; good stuff!).

last.fm is rather good, too, but I hardly use it to find new bands.. I just use it to keep track of what stuff I listened to the most and check stats on my fav. bands. heh.
here's mine in case you're curious:  http://www.last.fm/user/aekastar

Aw, I'm flattered!
I haven't made a real mix since the summer for a friend... I have made two yoga mix volumes for my mom, but she made me put some stuff I wasn't too into on there.. I made it pleasing and even got a gift certificate from one of her students for a copy of vol.2, but it isn't something I'd have made for myself.

Perhaps soon, a mix trade is in order!
