Radiohead (207)
http://www.cinconotas.com/musica/340-radiohead-emociona-al-maximo-en-mexico
Made a playlist yesterday for my iPod using the set list from Saturday night. Let's see how many times I listen to this sucker. I'm already to 5, 3 times yesterday, twice today and the sun hasn't even gone down yet.
Hey Zeus! I've never heard the band sound as good as they did. I might never have heard A band sound as good as they did. Besides living up to the expectations of getting blown away from the light & video show, the music is so powerful live, its one of those moments that a convert or long time fans usually just leave as indescribable. I was a packt sardine about 50 yards from the stage. It was the best loud it can be. So rich and clear and definitely knocking on heavens door if you choose to be buried in a grave. There were moments throughout the weekend when there were two or three popular powerful rock bands playing at the same time pumped through arena sized stage amplification, where I thought mother earth is gonna fight back. Coachella does take place over a convergence of major geographical fault lines. Channeling all this human primitive soul and the power of music and pounding it into the native American grounds sounds like a recipe for the karma police to show up, no?
Being 6'1", I had a clear view of the band when I wasn't rocking myself. There are no visual images or themes on the multitude of stationary and mobile hi-definition screens, other than the band members and digitally animated electronic graphics being used as the piercing light source, setting the drama and emotion into action with the full dynamic range in rainbow color pallette, in brightness, in size and in speed of motion and intensity. You will get lost or hypnotized if you don't have the opportunity to focus on the stage and see that there's an actual live band pulling off what your senses are telling you seems impossible. They've made the penultimate pc visualizer. Footnote, see George Orwell 1984.
I've seen Radiohead live five times now, spanning from The Bends until now. I got on board just a little late. Besides helping various bands make their own music, I was busy listening to Crazy Horse's Ragged Glory, Nirvana and Pearl Jam and on a first impression, it sounded like the kid in radiohead is kind of a skinny punk that I could take in a fight. Not that I'm all that tough, but I like my rock stars, guys and dolls, to be able to kick my ass. Then I saw Thom Yorke dancing behind the microphone and I figured I needed to give this new Pablo Honey record another shot. My point or observation here is, I've noticed now people are used to his moves. This past weekend instead of saying he dances crazy, folk just point out that he can't stop dancing.
Highlight you ask? 13 songs in, the band drops out and the entire audience sings along and over and over with Thom during Karma Police. "For a minute, I lost myself."
Seems its clear to the world that they have become the greatest active rock and roll band judging from the mix of people all in love with the music, the conscious and unconscious swaying and dancing is incredible. Mind you, Coachella is still in Southern California where I'm betting 40% of the crowd is made up of the jaded Los Angelinos and radiohead even works on them(me). And I say the world, just from my gringo Coachella experience. Between sets, walking the grounds if you listen closely, you will hear every language spoken round the globe. Just one visual example of the radiohead packed house, think two strangers before the show, one a dude that looks like he'd be comfortable at a rodeo after he rode the bull, standing next to or better yet, dancing with one of Jimmy Cliff's backup singers like two long time congregation members in a pew. Everybody came to see radiohead and talked about it all the time all weekend.
I did.

SCHAWK!
Hi there,
This might seem completely off topic and a little bit cheeky, but I'm a struggling writer (I've got to have a day job in a well known bank that's lost a lot of your money) and I have taken it upon myself to write a short story of 500 words or more every day for a year. I started on the 7th of October. That makes today day 168 (I started on day 0).
I sometimes even write a good one!
It's a bit tiring, but I could do with some support - so get reading or I'll hunt you down and eat all your biscuits. And I don't even like biscuits.
Website address: www.365stories.co.uk
Today marks the highest visitors to my site (www.365stories.co.uk) to date! Make it even higher - take a gander at the last few stories I've written - or the first few! Already got a few people hooked today!
Leave a comment - show your support!
I'm tired, bedraggled and slightly dead! I work 9-5 at cut-throat consultant company for a lazy, good for nothin' British Bank! I've worked til 10pm every night for almost two weeks now - and I still have to write a story at the end of it! All this staring at a computer screen, I might go crazy! So show your support to a poor little wannabe writer!
Much Love
Steph - the 365 girl!

Radiohead in Japan 1997 Part II
This one was thought of in 10 seconds and written in 20 minutes whilst listening to Radiohead's Last Flowers to the Hospital.

Let me know what you think!
Hey guys
This is definitely my favourite series that I am currently writing in my 365 project. I can only start writing this once I put on Radiohead.
It has to be one of the following songs: How to Disappear Completely, Go Slowly, Last Flowers, True Love Waits, Life in a Glass House, Videotape, You or Pyramid Song. And most likely the rest, but these are the most frequent. Especially You.
You can find the series here: http://365stories.co.uk/category/folie-a-deux-series/
Starting with Part 1, obviously.
It is about a 10th of the way through I think, so more still to come!
Steph
After waiting in line for 10 hours, we managed to get to the front row for the entire concert. Throughout the day, I managed to capture enough images to make this short stop motion film. Hope you guys enjoy!
Day 168!
It's available now to read.

Hi, everybody!!! Try to use Gigographya tour tickets tracker for getting Radiohead concert tickets.
Here is the link http://www.gigographya.com/tickets/band/radiohead/. I got tickets.
Hope u`ll find the best!!!
You bought as many tickets as you could and unfortunately you broke up with the person you were planning on taking, things just were not meant to be - your friends you bought tickets for did not show enough appreciation for your thoughtful gesture? Either way I can help you - I know how it must feel to have those extra tickets weighing you down - losing sleep at night, tossing and turning. The anticipation is too great, the burden is too heavy - the expectations, too intense to continue.
Take a deep breath and relax, - at last! The resolve to your anguish has arrived. Email me at: vivafake@yahoo.com to discuss further remedies to your ailment.

have you ever felt sooooo lost? i had. i tried to listen all my fav musics in my playlist (wishing one of them can comforts me) but, aaaargh i could not find it :(
then, i heard it.. (sometimes the main character comes at the end :p)
Sleight of hand
Jump off the end
Into a clear lake
No one around
Just dragonflies
Flying to the sides
No one gets hurt
You've done nothing wrong
Slide your hand
Jump off the end
The water's clear and innocent

I'm sure I'm not the only one who was cheated out of seeing radiohead at the roseland ballroom in September. I really hope they plan on coming here again... new jersey in particular. But seeing their tour dates that's probably not likely to happen ANY time soon. Let's pray on it folks...
