I first heard Radiohead when Creep was released in the US. I bought Pablo Honey, and I knew then that this was a special band. I unfortunately was unaware when they released The Bends. The next thing I remember that I fell in love with Karma Police. Who was this band anyway? And the guy singing...OMG! I loved Thom's voice and lyrics. Still...I didn't dive deeper. My very close nephew, whom is one year younger than I, kept telling me that I love Ok Computer. Hmmm...what was I doing that I wasn't listening to him? Dating someone whom loved country music...UGH! Anyway. I also remember buying the sound track to the Claire Dane's, Leonardo DeCaprio;s Romeo and Juliet. Mainly for the Garbage song on the disk, but I gave it a listened and realized that Radiohead was on it and I feel in love with Talk Show Host. Funny though, after the late ninties, I forgot about the song until a couple of months ago. In 2003, my nephew gave me a copy of OK Computer. He had my sister/his mother listening to and loving it. 2007, I became close friends with a new co-worker, whom Radiohead is her favorite band. I started giving Ok Computer a listen to at work periodically, but one can never appreciate it fully until you give a listen through headphones. OH MY GOD! It began happening a year ago. I started to listen more frequently to OKC. I had bought In Rainbows, Amnesiac, Kid A from my nephew, he had to sell his huge cd collection. I gave them a half hearted listen once in a blue moon at work. My friend at work bought King of Limbs as soon as it came out. Then I started giving OKC a better listen. This past summer, Radiohead engulfed me, mind, body and soul! I'm in love with them and their beautiful music! I can not go a day now without checking in with their website, listening to cds, playing a video, watching endless youtube, looking at the picture thread link on Green Plastic Radiohead, etc, etc... I fall asleep endless nights listening to their music, waking in the morning realizing I had a dream about them. I love all their music. EVERY album! The catalog of music is just inspiring. You may be into In Rainbows for a time, then give Kid A another listen and be like, 'wow! I really love this'. Do this all the time. I can't say I have one favorite song or album. Emotionally, there are certain songs that tug at me deeply, but I can't name them. I feel like I would be cheating on all the other amazing songs.
Ok, I suppose I have gone on a bit. I LOVE YOU RADIOHEAD! I hope you have a wonderful fun and happy time on your tour this year! Please be well and safe. Look after each other. Well all love you! XOXOXOX!!!
