There'll be time to get by to get dry after the swimming pool
There'll be time to just cry I wonder why it didn't work out
Therell be time to fish fry this letter is by yours truly
Yours truly
Now someone in my dictionary's up to no good
I never find the very special words I should
So I have another party with a water glass
And I sit on all your actions it's a birthing game
And I'll bet he needs a shower cause he's just like me
I know the soldiers in the painting I know your secret face
Well your parrot told me just how I can make you smile
Gonna let you do your thinking if you need awhile
But what I gave you made him get mad
A little bit funny how a thing like that
Could travel from one mouth in through another
And the next thing you know you gotta hear it from your brother and
The words they sting like a stump of old wasps
Remember when I said go throw that rock in there
And we ran through the woods to your good house
You forgot about the things that he could say like
I don't think that I like you anymore
Well I found new feelings at the feeling store
And I can't find you at our kissing place
And I'm scared of those new pair of eyes you have
So I duck out and go down to find the swimming pool
Hop a fence, leave the street and wet my feet I'll find a swimming pool
Cause when I'm snuffed out I doubt I'll find a swimming pool
Hop a fence, leave the street and wet my feet I'll find a swimming pool
But I don't wish that I was dead
A very old friend of mine once said
That either way you look at it you have your fits
I have my fits but feeling is good
Confusions not a kidney stone in my brain
But if miscommunicated do we feel the same?
Then either way you look at it you'll have your fits
I have my fits but feeling is good
You gotta give a little you gotta get a little bit

This is a graduation project by Magdalena Piehl at Beckmans College of Design in Sweden. The film is an attempt to get in contact with Thom Yorke, in hope of getting a video response back!
Hello Radiohead
Well, thank for finally touring again Down Under later this year, which is a most gracious pleasure for your antipodean cousins in the Southern Hemisphere who love you so dearly. Anyway, enough of all that fan back slapping, I'd like to bring to your attention an utmost critical movement that blends well with the folk-lore movement of Radiohead - the issue of mental illness and suicide promotion and prevention.
I’m a former (reformed) UK journalist and now an expert in the communicating issues around suicide and mental illness in the mass media and film/TV/Music etc in Australia, working for the Government managing the Mindframe National Media Initiative. Mental illness is a subject close to one's heart, but also close to millions (perhaps even billions in secret due to the wrongful shame and stigmatisation associated with mental illness).
To cut a long story short, I guide news rooms, scriptwriters, health professionals, creative types, musos, film directors etc on making sure they don’t perpetuate myths surrounding mental illness (such as people with mental illness can't do their jobs properly, mother, father, be a lover, that they are violent and dangerous etc). I also provide guidance on ensuring the topic of suicide and eating disorders do not spark imitation attempts (known as the "Werther effect" after a loosely autobiographical novel by Johann Wolfgan von Goethe called "The Sorrows of Young Werther" ( Or: Die Leiden des jungen Werthers") in which Werther takes his own life and led to copycat deaths of the same method at the time.)
Anyhow, we have a delightful Australian singer songwriter named Amy Vee who heads up our stage and screen project and she has also dedicated part of her music webpage (called CARE – link below) to champion the issues of mental health promotion, particularly among musicians who ,contrary to popular myth, don’t always develop a mental illness due to their creative genius, rather it’s their social environments (access to substance misuse, alienation from family and loved ones when on the road, pressure to succeed, and waiting for pay-day from some crappy promoter). But that’s not to say they've not had a greater share of super-star musos that have experienced mental illness (Morrissey; Robert Schumann; Kurt Cobain to name a few) - but mental illness can affect anyone: young people, students, parents, rich and the poor (though, you are more at risk if you come from a poorer background and misuse drug and alcohol).
Anyhow, whether it's something you fancy supporting, highlighting on your WASTE site the work of Mindframe and Amy Vee and the issues of mental illness among musos and promoting help-seeking advice (mainly that old adage of help-seeking advice - particularly for males aged 35 to 55 which has the highest suicide rates - GEN X!!). I’m happy to write something to support (facts statistics, help-seeking info - perhaps mention Amy's webpage CARE site for Aussie musos when you're in the Lucky Country touring.
The earlier you seek help for mental illness, the quicker the recovery - but because men think it’s not tough to seek help or that they cannot acknowledge the illness for fear of the stigma and labeled weak, they develop more severe depressive disorders - which are the main risk factors for suicide.
Thanks for reading and here are the various links -
When talking to writers and journalists now (that includes entering newsrooms at News Ltd I might add) I often liken the movement to the civil rights and feminist movements of the mid 20th century - mental illness stigma needs to be addressed, and perhaps a band like Radiohead and their fans can help lead that challenge ).
Together we can all crack stigma around mental illness, promote help--seeking, demystify suicide and, err, change the world (why, that’s why I came to radiohead UK gigs in the 90s for ).
All the best

I was very sad to hear the news of Adam Yauch's death yesterday.
We looked up to the Beastie Boys a lot when we were starting out and how they maintained artistic control making wicked records but still were on a major label, and the Tibetan Freedom Concerts they organized had a very big influence on me personally and the way Adam conducted himself and dealt with it all impressed me a lot. He was a mellow and v smart guy. May he rest in peace.

Thom Yorke - Analyse
Una profecía que se autocumple
de posibilidad infinita
en rollos de libros por toda la pantalla,
en álgebra, en álgebra.
En vayas que no puedes pasar,
en oraciones que no riman,
en todo eso que nunca puedes cambiar,
el elegido que estabas buscando.
Te pone mal.
Te pone mal.
No hay una chispa,
ni luz en la oscuridad.
Te pone mal.
Te pone mal.
Viajaste tan lejos,
¿qué fue lo que hallaste?
Que no hay tiempo,
no hay tiempo,
para analizar,
para examinar nada,
para encontrarle el sentido.
Por las velas en la ciudad,
nunca se vieron tan bonitas.
Por los cortes de energía y los apagones,
durmiendo como bebés.
Te pone mal.
Te pone mal.
Sólo juegas un papel.
Sólo juegas un papel.
Juegas un papel.
Juegas un papel.
Pero no hay tiempo,
no hay tiempo,
para analizar.
Analizar...

Happy International Workers' Day!
Made a poster for a course and ended up going to Kinko's, printing several, and posting them around town leading up to today. I'm not Shepard Fairey, but hey, I wouldn't complain if my Melting Copyleft became a thing.
When I was born, my world was a few centimeters tall.
Now I am grown up and reborn and my world looks like Tina Turner's hair.
I like dreaming, and I know forseeing
Just as long as I turn my back on wanting the future.
It's warm.
I am walking down the street.
I see people, they look very different
But all in me, they are one.
It's warmer.
All for me, because it's my eyes who see and my mouth who laughs. I didn't think I would laugh so much, but since you are watching, too, 15 types of laughter seem to have found their way into my world.
This little world.
