WISHING YOU, THOM, A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY. TAKE CARE, STAY SAFE!!
thank you!
Pharma Police, arrest this man
He wears no mask, he sneezes like a lidge
He looks like a deboned cameo
Pharma Police, arrest this girl
Her killer stare does really make me shriek
And we have deemed her unhealthy
This is what you get,
This is what you get,
This is what you get,
When you mess with us
Pharma Police,
I've snitched anyone I could,
It's not enough
Pharma Police,
I've snitched anyone I could,
But we're still on the death roll
This is what you get,
This is what you get,
This is what you get,
When you mess with us
For a minute there
I ditched myself, I ditched myself
Phew, for a minute there,
I ditched myself, I ditched myself

I have made a Radiohead Discord server. Here's a link if you would like to join- https://discord.gg/CvA84JU
how I feel
Yesterday, the sad news arrived to say that Peter Green had died. A co-founder of (what was then) British Blues group, Fleetwood Mac, Peter Green was responsible for some of the best rock-blues material of that period. "Albatros", |"Black Magic Woman", " Man of of the World" and " Need Your Love So Bad" to name a few.
Tomorrow morning, 28th June at 3am, UK time, BBC 6 music repeat the first of four part "The Radiohead Story" first broadcast in 2003!! A lot's gone on since then.

There's nothing more comforting that having Ed replying to my comments to say how much he agrees with me. Not just an ego thing, but in times when expressing an opinion is considered like a criminal offence by more and more people, I find it refreshing to find not everyone thinks unlike me. And when it's someone like Ed it's even better.
So this week, Ed has been totally in sync with me with his various posts. Either because I'd seen the same theme popping up a minute before or was thinking of it. Or like yesterday, when I saw a van blocking the front door and on it was written "Entreprise EOB".
And Instagram is a very shitty social media. You can only use it on a phone, but my phone is neither Android nor IOS, it's a Blackberry. Plus I have a cheap mobile subscription that only allows me to use 100 mo per month, 2h calls and unlimited texting. But to say that there is a way to use it on a computer with a browser (and using an computer browser app when I want to post pictures though I lack most features). Well, anyway it's shitty because you don't always get notified of replies and likes and you need to scroll back and forth for ages to find a reply to your comments if you want to reply or just see what the person is referring to. So I found out Ed liked me and I didn't even know it! Worse, after I made a capture of my notifications, they disappeared as if I had dreamed them. Of course, the replies are still there but imagine you don't check your account very often you miss out on stuff. So people might think you're ignoring them while you don't even know they asked you something. Sucks.
Well, enough ranting, here's my week full of Ed interactions (well two days remaining, stay tuned for maybe more... ;))
Wishing you and your family a wonderful day of celebrations!!
Waste really is not encouraging people to share anything. Spent an awful long time trying to upload a video capture from my computer, tried different combinations respecting size and format limitation, nothing does. It uploads and after validation, you can't play the video because it says MIME type not found. Anybody has the same problem?
Wanted to embed the original video from which my clip is extracted from but somehow it plays something else. This is so f*** annoying and I apologize Ed, I shall never make fun of you anymore (even gently) about your social media skills. It definitely s***!!!
Well, so the band I wanted to introduce you to for this quarantine live show program on FB called Abducted by the 80's is the Escape Club and starts right at the beginning of the video introduced by the drummer of Flock Of Seagulls. Trevor and Johnny play two songs in the garden. You may remember "Wild Wild West" that got number one in the States (not in Europe). Trev (singer) is an old mate. Doesn't seem to have changed a bit as a person. Fortunately I have and if he's stuck in the past, I don't care. I love the music and the wild wild beat.

Funny how time flies and how some things feel like from another life. Never been a nostalgic, only take the good with me, it's important to travel light if you want to stay in the flow. Here's some good vibes from the past by @TheEscapeClubhttps://t.co/qk3eAuPKQa pic.twitter.com/uqYHLLC0G5

Wanted to share this video directly on WASTE but this site is a nightmare when you try to upload anything, it works once in a while. Reduced size and made may video MP4 like most stuff you find on the web and here and it says it doesn't recognize the MIME. I'm fed up with trying to reencode it with various software so hope you can see the embed version on IGTV if you fancy viewing it.
Yesterday the news arrived that Pau Dones, the leader of the Spanish group Jarabe de Palo, had died. He was diagnosed with intestinal cancer 5 years ago and seemed to have overcome the illness after surgery. However, it came back and he lived his remaining time as positively and creatively as, possible. The group enjoyed success in Italy in the 90's in particular with the single, "Depende" . https://youtu.be/RwUO34DEz0w
Well, don't get over the moon, it's a fake account! Didn't see the _ in the name but when I went to check his account because I couldn't believe my eyes that Ed would follow my rantings on IG, well I saw immediately that this was a guy trying to lure naive women probably by sending them DM. Had that once with a fake Roger Waters on Twitter who sent me a DM to ask how I was doing and what was my favourite song of his. I would never imagine the real Roger do that! Maybe if I'd been 15 years old. (At that age, I would write to Pete Townshend by traditional post and get a reply and from the real one). Well I thought I'd post that here so that you keep an eye on impersonators. I've reported this account to Instagram so it should not stay on very long. It's a fairly recent one. He only has 3 followers and 0 publications and follows almost same accounts as Ed minus his children and plus all the women he's spotted who like Ed.
Today, BBC 6 Music's Shaun Keaveny dedicated a programme to the album "What's Going On"....with recording of Marvin Gaye talking about it. A classic album in so many way, and sadly, it resonates as much today in our current world events as it did fifty years ago. We seem to have evolved so little in important issues such as racial equality. Listen, enjoy and pass it around.

Hi - does anyone know how I can obtain or pay for a copy? I stupidly didn't buy it last June during the 20-day window and regret it every day. Happy to talk to anyone who can help! THANK YOU! -JK
Ed was due to hold his first live Facebook listening event today, but the gods of the Internet had other plans. Amongst them driving Ed nuts (hence the selfie above). The event will be postponed until Ed figures out how this stuff works (good luck spent hours to figure out myself and finally deleted my page). Here are the few jokes he shared with some fans on his Instagram account. Humour does it, indeed. Facebook should know better than to piss Ed off!
Eobofficial: This is me trying to get on our Facebook live experience??!!! Having tech nightmares... sorry good people, am going to have to reschedule and work out why it’s not working... be in contact soon. X
lozzalegit : Ed will you ever do an instagram live??
Eobofficial: oh yes please ... so easy right??
michael.osullivan99: Look forward to the rescheduled live video! In the meantime - goodnight from Australia!!
Eobofficial: good night Australia
david.diaz.osorio: Could you teach us how to sing as "EEEDDDDD"?
Eobofficial: you need to have 10,000 people in front of you to reach that note and be completely unaware that they are singing it too..
nathanielscook: Earth is hottt. That Flood.. he’s pretty good... much love to you
Eobofficial: he’s not bad, is he?
phileasfogg6969: I've seen you, sat cross legged on the stage floor, fannying about with tech during 'Everything in its right place' live. This is a lame excuse Ed, pull your finger out lad
Eobofficial: you got me But In my defence I always have Adam ( my good friend and tech) to sort me out live... when I’m left to my own devices.... all tech hell breaks loose
sgravello_pisello: this is my reaction after watching for the first time mtv beach house 1993
Eobofficial: that was our reaction at the time!
Big Brother Ed is watching you! Mind what you say on social media as you might embarrass yourself haha! Ed popped up on a live discussion thread on Reddit during the official launch of the Dublin show on Radiohead's YouTube channel last month to the delight of those who were chatting in there. I did some digging and found the public exchange Ed had with fans and decided to compile it here for those (including I) who unfortunately missed it. Enjoy!
EOB_Official: How's it going? Joining you with a cup of tea.. no wine for me these days...
1.
TintinQuarantino2020: Not bad mate you? Fully recovered I hope?
EOB_Official: Not quite fully recovered but getting there.. it hangs around a long time.. this gig feels like another era to me .. does it feel like a long time ago for you all?
2.
radiofan122: Pretty solid, how are you feeling Ed? This livestream made a rough day much better (also.. can I please request that next cycle you guys start playing Motion Picture Soundtrack again.. pretty please??)
EOB_Official: Sorry to hear it was a rough day.. I find that you have days when you feel ok, then another when things seem overwhelming.. anyway glad that this helps... I'm gonna do one of those AMA's on reddit next week sometime.. spread the word.. ask me anything.... Stay safe and well good people...

Imonlysleepingx: Hello! Enjoying this amazing show here! I hope you’re feeling better, sir. I can’t wait to be doing this for your album release in about a week! It’ll be a great listening party.
EOB_Official: I'm feeling pretty good thanks.. just want to get out running again properly...
5.
Jzahck: Will you be joining us for other performances as the weeks go by as well? It'd be wonderful to talk to you and hear your thoughts! Thanks for being so supportive and encouraging during this tough time.
EOB_Official: I'm going to do an AMA next week on here.. come and join..

radioheadlover: i wish i was..... fucking there watching this amazing concert
EOB_Official: They were amazing gigs .. just outside of Dublin at the racecourse in a big tent.. we had fire in our bellies and were just happy to be out of the studio doing shows again...
Sad to read that Dave Greenfield, keyboard player with the Stranglers has died aged 71 , having contracted Covid-19.
His contribution is particularly notable in their hit, "Golden Brown". https://youtu.be/z-GUjA67mdc
