I don't enjoy watching you wait in line with strangers. As fluorescent lights replace my sight and become particles of your face, I can't realize that you'll be gone, up in a ship, floating over countries and seas. There are non-descript noises from the speakers, electronic signs flashing and suitcases rolling along the tile. Such high ceilings, but I need more air to breathe it all in. What can I do in these last moments except act blindly through the dark? Already, the scene is fading away in my memory. Inching bit by bit, we are cars stuck in traffic and my head's caving inward. When I drive back, the headlights of massive cars will blind me home, where I'll fall asleep to crappy mix cds.

Well, sorry to have inconvenienced anyone, but it is a little inconvenient to have a 2.45% pay award. This is in effect a pay cut when inflation is running at around double that amount. How many years do we have to endure this? And remember that 2.45% of a low wage packet is laughable. Thanks to all those who have given support and understanding.

This blog is a necessity. Somewhere I can write semi-anonymously, as my other blogs have been devoured by friends and relations and it has no longer become a place where I can be completely honest or vent frustrations or dare to be anything unexpected or new. Initially I had intended for blog-keeping to be like journal-keeping, personal musings and the like. I don't feel as if I can grow and flourish as a writer or human being under the thumbing watch of my otherwise allies.So a mini-introduction to me, or the new me, would go something like this:I like music, especially new music. Music that makes me move but more than that, feel. I love books but I rarely read them, which is both embarassing and a pity. The thing is, I love to hear stories, I love people telling me stories and I love reading the backs of books and feeling that initial pull of a good story. This, I believe, is why I love films so much. (I am currently reading film and english at university) Their ability to introduce, keep and maintain a good story in a short period of time.I also am a keen traveller. No matter the distance, I love to be away. My favourite trip so far was my biggest trip, last spring I backpacked with a friend all over the UK and Netherlands. It was such a great experience and I look forward to returning.I'm an avid writer but my ambitions are ambivalent. I often float between what I'd like to take up, journalism, fiction, screenwriting. Who knows where life will take me.There's more to me than that but I think I'll leave off with my love of the City. I'm from a small city/large town in Southern Ontario (there's lots of these in S.ON) And its not quite a mecca, but I absolutely adore urban life. I've been to many major cities (TO, NYC, LA, LDN) and I believe that's where my heart truly lies. They say if you're raised in the country you'll always be a country gal, and if you're raised in the city you'll always be a city gal. Well in my case its true.

PART 5. THE TOP TEN.10/ There There (The Boney King of Nowhere.) - Hail To The Thief - 2003I knew I would forever love this song when, during my first listen, those tribal drums kicked in. The rhythm is incredibly catchy. And then that guitar riff in the beginning. Genius. I love how Thom's voice sounds so strained when he sings "There there." But my favorite part of the song is when Jonny Greenwood's guitar solo comes in. His guitar takes on a sort of cackle. It sounds and reminds me of a crow. I just can't get over how awesome the tone is. It's one of the scariest sounding tones I've ever heard. I love the lyrics sung here: "Why so green and lonely? Heaven sent you to me. We are accidents waiting to happen." Mind blowing. Absolutely mind blowing. Completely deserving of Top 10.09/ Airbag - OK Computer - 1997The fact that this is the opening track for their most renowned album says a lot. I know exactly what that says. It says that this is one HELL of a song. And it is. Every single piece and portion of this song is expertly crafted. The drums are cut up and sampled. The constant sleigh bells in the background. The amazing guitar riff. The awesome bass riff. The fantastic rhythm guitar. Thom's voice. And finally, the lyrics. "In an interstellar burst I am back to save the Universe."08/ Reckoner - In Rainbows - 2007When I first heard this song I expected to hear the gloomy, heavy rock song that was "Reckoner" back in 2005 and earlier. But they took me by surprise. This "Reckoner" was different. It was beautiful. It was celebratory. Instead of the original lyrics, "Feeling pulled apart my horses," there were new ones. "Dedicated to all you, all human beings." The bridge was completely different. "Because we separate like ripples on a blank shore. In rain, in rain. Because we separate like ripples on a blank shore (In rainbows)." I wasn't sure about it on first listen... but the more I gathered from it... the more I listened... the more I discovered that this is one of their best songs to date.07/ Paranoid Android - OK Computer - 1997What hasn't been said about this song? The story is that this is basically 3 different songs pieced together. There's the beginning. The curious melodies and playful guitars. But it switches moods rather suddenly. "Kickin screamin gucci li'l piggy!" The song becomes frantic and the time signature switches between 4/4 and 7/8... but just as your head is about to explode, the song breaks down into a slow-sung sad song. "Rain down, rain down, come on rain down on me from a great height. From a great height." But the crazy side starts to rear its head. "That's it sir! You're leavin! The crackle of pigskin. The dust and the screamin. The yuppies networkin and the panic. The vomit. The panic. The vomit. God loves His children. God loves His children, yea!" BLAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!-INSANE-GUITAR-SOLO.The perfect rock song.06/ No Surprises - OK Computer - 1997I once saw a video of two news reporters reporting on the premiere of Radiohead's new music video for "No Surprises." The lady news reporter, after hearing several seconds of the song, comments. "This is music you'd wanna cut your wrists to."I don't agree that this is a suicide song... but it certainly is a sad one. While it does reference suicide ("I'll take a quiet life and a handshake of carbon monoxide"), I don't think that the song is about this. It appears to be a song about being content with having an ignorant and safe life. Ignorance is bliss. No alarms and no surprises, please. But ultimately, the song's placement at #6 in my Top 10 comes down to it's simple melodies. It's an instantly memorable song and one of their best written.05/ Subterranean Homesick Alien - OK Computer - 1997For some of you, the title of this song may grab you as a direct reference to Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues." While the titles are the same except for the last word, the songs sound and are written very differently. The song is what it sounds like. From the guitars to the keyboard, the song has a spacey quality to it, which is reflected in the lyrics. "I wish that they'd swoop down in a country lane late at night while I'm driving. Take me aboard their beautiful ship and show me the world as I'd love to see it." This song may not make many people's Top 10 Radiohead Songs but it does for me. After learning the song on guitar, I became hooked to the chord progression. I've loved it ever since.04/ Karma Police - OK Computer - 1997I personally think this is the catchiest song they have ever done. Even more catchy than "Fake Plastic Trees" or "My Iron Lung." Everything from the vocal melody to the piano part during the chorus just begs you to sing along. And that's not even the best part of the song! The ingenious lyrics of the verses bring you to the brilliantly crafted chorus of "this is what you'll get when you'll mess with us" before the song explodes into the catchiest melody of Radiohead's career to date. How dare you not sing your HEART out to "For a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself, I lost myself!" This is definitely the best song on OK Computer. But they outdid themselves.03/ Pyramid Song - Amnesiac - 2001It's very hard to believe that the follow up to Kid A would not only hold up as a great album but would also include, in my opinion, one of the best songs of all time. It seems like the only way they could go is down after that album. While Amnesiac certainly isn't as good as Kid A (or even, arguably, OK Computer) there's this one song on there that just stands out. It is, in essence, the collective emotional energy of the band packed into 4 minutes and 49 seconds.When the song opens with its first 3 piano chords, there's a split second where it sounds like it is going to be at a certain time signature. But there's this slight pause between the 3rd and 4th chords. Then it goes back into a steady pace of the 4th chord, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th... but then another pause. It's as if Thom just doesn't want you to follow along at all. When I first got this album around 2004, I couldn't make sense of the chords. I heard their beauty and heard Thom singing along... but I couldn't wrap my head around the way the chords were placed. It seemed unimaginable that there could be a time signature to this song. Some people familiar with music theory might pick up on what's going on quite early but to the average listener, it doesn't click. Not even when the drums first pick up. But after a couple of seconds... the drums begin a steady rhythm... and now it all makes sense. I could go on and on and on... but I'd only be talking about the music.The words tie everything together. It's an incredible story of a dead man's journey to the afterlife. I cannot remember if the Egyptians believe in a similar journey to the afterlife (which would make a connection to the title) but I do know that the Greeks believed that you had to ask a boatman to ferry you across the river Styx. In the song, Thom sings about jumping into the river and seeing black-eyed angels swimming with him. It's an incredible image to think about. The next line, "We all went to heaven in a little rowboat. There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt" marks the segway into a rythmic song. It's mirrored in the lyrics. "All my lovers were there with me. All my pasts and futures." The last line in the song sums up the whole of the song. "There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt."02/ How To Disappear Completely - Kid A - 2000This is the only song more emotional than "Pyramid Song." As a teenager, I connected to this song for many reasons that only a teenager could make sense of. But my connection with this song has held strong for the duration of nearly 8 years now. Just for different reasons. Having studied music theory and learning so many things about music I can love and connect with this song for so many reasons. The beauty of the vocal melody. The way the strings and ondes martenot are constantly making noise. The way the srings mirror the vocal melody. How when the strings take over during Thom's "ooh and ahh" part, they go from a perfect harmonic blend to a dissonant array of pitches that finally come together at the last moment and tie the song together into a beautiful close. The lyrics are simple. "I'm not here. This isn't happening." There isn't anything too complex. It's beautiful without having to find new ways of being it. It's proof that Radiohead is made up of some incredibly talented musicians.01/ Idioteque - Kid A - 2000One day, Jonny Greenwood walked into a record store and was browsing through records when he found First Recordings — Electronic Music Winners. On the record were two pieces. One titled Mild und Leise by Paul Lansky and the other called "Short Piece" by Arthur Krieger. Apparently Jonny Greenwood was so impressed that he shared the record with the others and they ended up sampling both songs in my favorite Radiohead song.When the song opens, it is a very obvious departure from their pre-Kid A material. The drums aren't real. In fact I'm not sure WHAT is a real, physical instrument being played in this song, apart from Thom's vocals. The song's lyrics capture a sense of chaos in the midst of a pending nuclear fallout. It's an apocalyptic song of sorts. "Who's in bunker? Who's in bunker? Women and children first." "We're not scaremongering. This is really happening." It's incredible how the 4 chords taken from Mild und Leise fit the mood of the song so well.But what I love about this song isn't really the lyrics. It's the musical depth of this song. There are layers upon layers upon layers of sounds, melodies, harmonies, rhythms, and words to be found. Until I got my hands on a version of this song with the middle channel cut out and another version with the left and right channels cut out, I thought I had discovered all there was to discovered. Up to about 3 months before I got the two new edits, I had discovered something new about every other month. Then when I got the 2 edits, I discovered a handful of other things. It's really incredible how packed this song is. The harmony vocal line just under the lead in the chorus... the multiple vocal takes being sung at the same time at certain points in the song... the 3 vocal parts at the end all being sung at the same time... the drum sounds upon drum sounds upon drum sounds... the ambient noises all over the place... It's a song to marvel at. I've not heard a single song that has done this as well as this song. Combine this with the incredible lyrics and the signature electronic chord progression and you have found the reason why this is my favorite Radiohead song.Thanks for reading my lengthy fan-obsessions for the past couple of weeks.

Syd Barrett enloqueció y lo echaron de los Floyd.En escena aguantaba tocando el mismo acorde una vez tras otra. En los estudios de la EMI se ponía a romper el material. Sus compañeros de grupo temían su mirada alocada y apenas entendían lo que quería decir.Un día, la furgoneta del grupo pasó de largo, enfrente de su casa. Se sentaba a las afueras del estudio, pero nadie lo invitaba a entrar, aunque tampoco lo pedía.Pero, ¿por qué? Ustedes dirán. Hay algo que no cuadra cuando uno se pone a leer su historia… De genio del pop (iba para estrella interplanetaria después del éxito de "The Piper at the Gates of Down") a esquizofrénico perdido en su sótano de Cambridge en solo dos pasos y dos discos que no salieron de su círculo de fanáticos.Qué le pasó, realmente? ¿Hay gato encerrado? Podría ser. Y podría ser incluso que hubiera dos gatos encerrados, ambos tomando ácido en su plato de la leche."Todo lo que quería hacer cuando era un niño era tocar la guitarra y hacer el cabra. Pero se me puso en medio demasiada gente."Ácido.…los traumas de la infancia… la pérdida de su padre…"Todo el mundo dice que fué feliz de niño, no sé por qué, pero yo no lo fui". Dice Syd Barrett. Es curioso, oyendo sus canciones.Syd explota. Como muchos de sus contemporáneos, cae víctima de la droga, Joplin, Hendrix... la bruma púrpura se levanta y solo se ve un montón de cadáveres. Todo cuadra.Los misioneros visionarios del ácido, Duggie Fields el artista psicodélico rival, Lindsay la novia ideal y luego Iggy, la esquimal de la portada de "Madcap Laughs", como una especie de mini-Yoko Ono, Jonty Meades el straight-cat, las visitas de Pete Townshend, Mick Jagger y Marianne Faithful...Ácido.En la grabación de "See Emily Play" Syd empieza a dar las primeras muestras de cuelgue serio. No responde a las conversaciones y su mirada, entre burlona y ausente, espanta a su grupo. La desastrosa gira americana pone sobre a viso a todo el mundo, desde el grupo, a Peter Janner, el cual más tarde diría que el ácido era a la vez fuente y sumidero para Syd: " Estoy seguro que su creatividad salía de su locura. El ácido trajo la creatividad, pero lo que es más importante, trajo la locura."Syd es el loco de la fiesta, el despreocupado y el alma libre. Le colocan a todas horas, en el té, en el agua, como sea. Cuando se desfasa demasiado le encierran en el armario. Incluso suministran ácido a los gatos de Syd, "Pink" y "Floyd". Todos los que visitan el piso lo saben y evitan tomar nada allí, recelan de todo, menos del agua del grifo, y solo si la sirven ellos mismos.La rotura de Syd empieza a ser cada vez más notoria. Las cosas se van complicando y empiezan a circular rumores cada día un poco más extraños… Es famoso el incidente del Mandrax, Syd está en camerinos ansioso porque su pelo no le queda bien. Al parecer esta vez la permanente que le acaban de hacer es una cagada. Cansado de intentar arreglárselo, opta por una salida curiosa. Mezcla un porrón de mandrax con Brylcreem y se lo unta en su cabellera. Sale a escena y con el calor de los focos, poco a poco la mezcla se vá derritiendo y resbalando por sus ojos, su cara... las niñas de la primera fila se horrorizan. ¡Syd parece una figura de cera derritiéndose!Lindsay, la novia de Syd aparece en las escaleras de la casa de Jenner seriamente maltratada."Estaba empezando a ponerse algo loco…la esquizofrenia se había instalado" decía Lindsay Korner antes del incidente. Se dice que le rompió una guitarra en la cabeza, se dice que la tuvo encerrada durante dos semanas en una habitación, pasándole la comida (galletitas) por debajo de la puerta, solo entrando para pegarle…Syd Barrett ya es un muñeco roto certificado. Esquizofrénico o no, loquito o no, Syd ya no se sentía en si mismo, cosa que desde la letra de "Jugband Blues" hasta hoy en día deja claro, como se puede ver en sus incoherentes y descompuestas declaraciones. Sin embargo, nunca hablará explícitamente de traumas de la infancia, ni tampoco mencionará las famosas "voces". Si se referirá a una extraña descomposición de su psique, habla de "poner las cosas en su sitio".Gilmour presiona para que un psiquiatra examine a Syd, Finalmente deciden consultar a un psiquiatra algo abierto de miras, prescindiendo de médicos ortodoxos que (sin duda) sepultarían a Syd en una institución mental para siempre. Se ponen en contacto con R.D. Laing seguidor de la hipótesis de que la locura solo está en el ojo del espectador. Escucha una cinta de Syd conversando. Su veredicto: "incurable".Syd está ya en la periferia de la razón.Parece ser que se dedica a pintar. Pinta sus cuadros y luego los quema. "Yo no pinto, pero el chico que vive en la puerta de al lado lo hace y eso es suficiente".David Bowie y otros adinerados fans de Barrett logran hacerse con ejemplares salvados de la quema.Syd Barrett iba para pintor. Quizás como cualquiera que haya hecho algo relacionado con el arte, se deleite pensando en que podría dedicarse a ello a tiempo completo, algún día. De repente se ve en los Pink Floyd, con una guitarra, dando las sesiones UFO...…Experimenta la fama ya no como concepto, sino como realidad. Yo no quiero pensar en él como un drogado errático, sino como un tipo más despierto de lo normal. Se queda con todo. Se lo pasa todo lo bien que puede en su nuevo piso lleno de personajotes y ácido. Pero ya tiene claro que el camino que ha empezado, ya lo ha recorrido en su cabeza y que al final no hay nada, y que el que va a llegar ni siquiera va a ser el que empezó. No siente aprecio por el compromiso entre un artista y el público, o aún peor, entre el artista y la Humanidad. Se ha visto obligado a condensar sus ideas en sencillos de tres minutos para estar en la onda, pero una vez allí ya no le sale de nuevo, o no siente la necesidad de hacerlo. La gente ya ha pagado por un Syd Barrett que no era el de la foto, basta de engaños. Syd ni siquiera se quiere engañar a si mismo, ya no quiere más Pink Floyd, porque eso solo significa más presión del público, más presión de la banda, más presión por todos lados.En el escenario no rinde porque no siente la urgencia de protagonizar un sueño que ya no es suyo. En el nuevo disco se limita a dar una explicación, "Jugband Blues" (que si se ve desde la óptica del Syd desencantado, renegado de su propia condición de pop-Star y de sus sueños, tiene su punto) y un estado de ánimo, destructivo y asolador, que logra convencer a todo el grupo para que pueda soltarlo en paz.Es curioso que en aquel momento la hipótesis más comentada fue la de que Syd estaba subido de tono, que la fama le había pegado fuerte y que estaba muy. Digo que es curioso porque al final lo que ha quedado es lo de la locura y las drogas. Que, curiosamente, es lo que más se ha repetido.Se le subió la fama a la cabeza, pero no de la manera que todos pensamos. El le dio vueltas y vio que no merecía la pena. ¿Quién podría desperdiciar una oportunidad así? Alguien que tuviera algo mejor, alguien que apreciara su singularidad y quisiera protegerla a toda costa. Todo el mundo que le conoció entonces coincide que aquel Syd no era un tío cualquiera. Aún así ninguno habló de protegerlo. Él mismo se tomó la molestia.Se rapa el pelo al cero, para podar a esa pop-Star que un día estuvo en sus zapatos. Sigue con su vida, la vida que Roger Barrett decide, no la de un negociante de ideas y canciones.Después llega el día que decide sentar cabeza, dejar el ácido. Se pasa a la ingesta masiva de mandies. Graba los discos con Gilmour como un pasatiempo, mientras aterriza en el mundo de los vivos. Los Pink Floyd están bien sin él, Waters estaba esperando su turno para decir sus cosas."Tengo una nevera muy grande y he estado comiendo un montón de cerdo últimamente", dice a los que le preguntan en la sesión de "Wish you were here" por su peso. Además se está quedando calvo. Ellos lloran, porque no entienden que nada es para siempre. Llorarán incluso hoy en día.…y Syd es feliz.

Do I have an hepatitis ?Let me explain : I had a laugh last week. Yeah. As we say in France, a rire jaune (litterally laughing yellow). This is translated as a forced laugh in English ; and I searched for the origin of the expression in French.[French language cultural moment]Yellow, when it's bright, is the symbol of gods. Conversely, when it's matt, it represents sulfur, therefore hell, but also perfidy. However the expression "rire jaune" mostly comes from the fact that hepatic people are moody, and when they force themselves to laugh, bile stains their face with this pale yellow colour. By extension, this expression applies to every person who seems to be forcing themselves to laugh, trying to calm down or not wanting to show they are offended.[/French language cultural moment]Question is, what made me laugh ? Urrggh, politicians again. The télépresident, as he is called outside France, is returning to his all good habits.Before I begin ranting, I have to say it's incredible how much you learn from your own country when you read the news from abroad - not in the same language of course !So what did he do ? Well, early 2008, he announced the end of advertising on the state television channels. Yeah, great. But how would these channels work ? With no money at all ? Oh wait, there's still money from the state, hmm... Journalists started worrying for their future, talked about it for a few days, then, nothing. Yeah, the value of the private TV channels went up at that time... Oh, and sarkozy said that the director of the group of public TV channels was to be chosen by... the President himself, and a qualified majority of MP and the CSAEverything was fine until I read the following stuff : Bolloré is buying the CSA ! Do I need to remind that Bolloré is a close friend of sarkozy ?More stuff about French TV here, here and here.I have to admit, it's good strategy.Soo... Probably no hepatitis, just irony. Or bewilderment.To continue on a brighter note, yeah, surgery went OK for the wii... I managed to burn myself with the soldering iron but my finger is still alive. Incredibly enough I did the best weldings of my short life, must be the ingested liquids that developed my self-confidence. At school I had the worst marks ever for this kind of things. Who would have thought that I wasn't worthless in that field ? Next stage, spaceship building ?Anyway, it looked like good work, even if I fucked the last two up, and got lucky it worked out fine, but it did. It went through the night in my bag, and woke up the following evening. I still have five or six orphan screws that got kicked out of the house - er, wii - as I've never been good in putting back together what I had been disassembling. Ahhh...someday...Still writing incoherently...Don't wanna spam so I bring all I write in one post but it has no logic in between paragraphs :(However, I DO agree with this vision of life (For those interested, it's from the postsecret website). But, as I am not talented in any artistic field, what am I gonna do that will last forever ? Kids ?!?Ending with environment once more. I wonder what the government will respond to nuclear power opponents after this : what isn't written (I read this this morning in a French newspaper ) is that they found uranium evidence in the groundwater, but it seems that the leak of last week is not the cause of it ! Could it be that nuclear-related stuff is not reliable ? I am sooo surprised...Read more…
Learned about this just today. I think it's a great start to getting Americans thinking about changing our economy and our dependency on fossil fuels. As consumers, we have an unbelievable power if we act in unison toward a common goal.I do think the answer is solar, but wind and natural gas are great ways to break our addiction to oil until solar technologies can be developed.So, check it out: www.pickensplan.com Find more videos like this on PickensPlan Read more…
New Radiohead video of 'House of Cards' posted at this address( http://code.google.com/radiohead )using Geometric Informatics, a type of LIDAR Scanner to capture close action in 3D, and Velodyne LIDAR which captures the surrounding scenery using multiple lasers. Amazing effects to go with what I think is a much underrated track from In Rainbows. Also brilliant 'making of' videoThanks for the heads up to 'green plastic radiohead' at their website.Enjoy.
