Here at last! I guess I'll be hanging out at Manifest for a while tomorrow - which is bad! I'm poor, I can't afford to go spending a bunch of money, but they're going to have such good sales! I think they're going to be getting in some R.E.M. 7" vinyls too. I might watch a show or two there, maybe finally check out that band Villanova. Haven't heard them at all, but I keep hearing that funk-rock fans usually like them so I guess I'll see. Its free, so may as well.God I love Manifest lol. I really think I NEED to get a job there next summer lol. Course I'd never bring home a paycheck...

have to say that disc 6 (live 2003) is definetely my fav RH live compilation of all time. The drive of some of the tunes (The Gloaming, Backdrifts, Myxamatosis, Kid A) flows right through you. If you haven't gotten it yet, you can find it on the atease mb - multimedia forum. Dang good stuff...

All these competitions come at the wrong time. I'd have loved to have animated a music video for Radiohead, and remixed Nude, but I just don't have the time to give it right now - a year or two ago would have been perfect! Damn LP7 delays... anyway I thought I'd share my old videos and some rh related musicy things:Climbing Up The WallsNo SurprisesRandom video done with Arkaos and their default clips, done to an instrumental cover I did of Cymbal RushHad a go at videotape too before IR version...and most recently I did a random mashup of beastie boys and reckoner, that I think works really well actually :) :Just need a break and I want to turn this hobby into something a bit more real. Just gotta remember not to lose it at the back of my head and one day I'll be in a position where I can advance with this sort of stuff.MattRead more…
Over the course of five years, I must have created about 11 different blogs (okay, well some were various reincarnations of the other). Of those 11, I only keep one active now - but for my own selfish use; it's really nothing, and does not even deal with the news or the music that brings us here today. I remember I was 14 when I started my first blog, it was one of those stupid egocentric blogs (oh yes, the irony) that dealt with me, myself, and the random ramblings of I. When I first found out that one of my friends had discovered it I was almost traumatized. Apparently I hadn't realized that this wasn't your own private piece of space, at least not totally. So. That was something new.I also started my own music blogs, which were pathetic little efforts of taking news from other sources (albeit crediting them), and because I was still new to the world of mp3-dom I only provided links to various sites that streamed those songs. It took a lot of Google-researching and metafilters to find some links, but I wouldn't stop until I found them. Yes, I was partially dedicated to this scavenger hunt, it was pretty rewarding.It's almost hard to think of, but there was a time when there was no YouTube. Do you guys remember this? What a trip. I was functioning in a non-YouTube world back then, and music videos were just spread out onto a bunch of different websites, real expansive like. Not that they still don't have that now, but it's no doubt that YouTube is the largest collection of all of these videos at one source. I gave up on music blogging when they were just about to start up. And they made everything so much easier.Other failed ideas:The Vault - Scannings of old grade school notes that were passed around in class. Involved secrets, and "scandals". I got too lazy to scan them all.iDEABLOG - Numerical posts of different ideas/potential inventions I have. By the time I got around to, I'd forget about the ideas.brighthobo - Based on me and my friends' ideas about how to potentially survive if we ever had to live off the streets. Involved ideas about showering at the local fountain, how to bum off leftover food at restaurants, and makeshift desserts (packets of golden sugar). Totally insensitive, and possibly offensive. Decided to never publish those posts.So, that's it. This'll be the only blog post I'll have on here, on this Radiohead-approved version of social networking sites that we have come to love. I've been griping so much I've made everything seem bitter and sour at the same time, like a dark chocolate lemon. Hopefully you're all not as jaded as me. And then it stops --

I've always wondered why Radiohead haven't toured Latin America yet.As Gabi from radiohead-latinoamerica.com mentioned years ago in a question from spinwithagrin.co.uk about the lack of shows in this part of the world, Thom, and recently Ed answered "YES WE'RE GOING"A few weeks ago i read in a producer blog the news that shocked me for days.RADIOHEAD IS NOT PLANNING TO GO TO LATIN AMERICA IN 2007.Since the Hail to the thief tour the band received questions about when will they tour that lovely place.Now i think this is a joke, the band is playing with us. we're puppetslook at this pagewe're not joking, we're dying hoping to see them in a scenario.
