Posted by Arianna on April 4, 2008 at 12:00am
Can I just say: AMAZING SHOW!!!!!!!!Favorite bits:1. Cedric’s head between Omar’s legs!!!!2. Even though I still have a spot in my heart for Jon Theodore, Thomas Pridgen on drums was a beast!!!3. Cedric throwing Tom’s cymbal and cymbal stand out into the audience.4. The audience GIVING THE CYMBAL AND STAND BACK!!!!!5. Cedric fucking with the security guards; and they didn’t seem to mind!!!6. No opening band; Volta played for over 2 hours straight!7. Cedric’s little cell phone skits!8. Juan Alderte’s bass! Such an inspiration!!!9. Extended Drunkship jam!10. Cedric’s dancing was ON FIRE!11. Omar’s playing was ON!12. Ikey (and the rest of the band for that matter) were very enthusiastic!!13. Having a great spot off the floor so I didn’t miss anything and didn’t get crushed by the masses.14. Cedric dedicating Drunkship: "This is dedicated to Walt Disney who made racist cartoons in the 20’s and 30’s. KNOW YOUR HISTORY!!!"15. Reigniting my love for the Volta!

How many keys are on your keychain?i have nine keys. four of them are silver and five are brass. of the four silver, two are functional and often used, one is functional but obsolete, one is of unknown function and origin. of the brass, four are functional and often used, and one is obsolete. to get into my house by the front door you use one silver key and one brass key. to get into the house by the back door you use one brass key. the remaining silver key opens simon's front door. the three other brass keys open 1. a large suitcase i keep on top of my wardrobe, which contains several items precious to me, 2. the door of my lockup, which contains bad secrets and 3. a window. the remaining silver key, which is bent and scratched and older and heavier than all the other keys has belonged to me since my childhood. on bad days i walk down streets in the city at night, trying it out in arbitrary locks.What curse word do you use the most?i actually kept a tally of all the words i used in 1994. of curse words, according to my chart, 'dickhead' was the most common. it was, in fact, the most common word used all year, with over 60% of all words used. the second most common was 'horse'.Do you own an iPod?an iDog, which barks out any song i teach it. today it was doing 'straight outta compton'What time is your alarm clock set for?i never set it. i don't own one. do i seem like that kind of drone to you. i'll tell you, i only set my alarm clock ever once. i had to buy an alarm clock to set that day. it was my first and only day of work. i got to the office on time. my suit wasn't right, i didn't have the correct haircut. a middle-aged woman sat me at a computer, but my task was really to stuff envelopes. the computer just got in the way. i never went back. i threw the alarm clock away.How many suitcases do you own?i own four. three are empty. one, which i have already mentioned is full. mostly, it contains papers - an old school exercise book which my little brother once got hold of and scrawled across with near-dry felt pen. the pen is gone, and him. but the lines that zigzag across it and form crude attempts at faces and hands are tempered by my grubby diagrams of volcanos and river formations.Do you wear flip-flops even when it's cold outside?i only wear them when i dress as a priest, cold or not.Where do you buy your groceries from?sometimes the street corner, sometimes the balcony in the big room of the club. sometimes by the canal.Would you rather take the picture or be in the picture?i would always rather be in the picture. i've never held a camera in my life. i would smash it between my fingers. the last photograph taken of me was taken in 2004. i have it in front of me here. i'm wearing a rubber mask in the shape of the face of a caricature of ronald reagan. that's all. i appear to be in a park.What was the last movie you watched?i'm not sure that it had a name. it involved an acquaintance of mine slowly running a rusty chain over what appears to be a girl wearing an inflatable rubber suit. he then slowly pours a dustbin full of pva glue over the suit, and the glue slowly hardens as she writhes and crawls.Do any of your friends have children?to have children is to lose my friendship. i am against procreation. if there never is a next generation then we have no legacy to worry about. i certainly have no legacy.If you won the lottery, what's the first thing you would buy?a chair and table for the houseHas anyone ever called you lazy?the man in the dole office. my dad. my art teacher at school. a bus driver. a homeless man. a sleepwalker. an astronaut.Do you ever take medication to help you fall asleep faster?i take medication to avoid sleep. sleep to me is death. i truly believe that.What CD is currently in your CD player?jazzDo you prefer regular or chocolate milk?does this mean what i think it means? if so, chocolate. if not, regular.Has anyone told you a secret this week?did i tell you that alvin hall is not really black? he's actually michael jackson, and they black him back up to on tv and give financial advice.also laurence told me about his affair with the butcher. i felt that... this was too much to hear from the boy. the image of the three of them, hunched over a cold slab of meat. the blood, the semen, the gristle. the texture that the meat takes on after the knife has been through it. i kept waking up in the night to images of swinging carcase and grinding animal stench. laurence squirmed and turned beside me. i thought about hurting him. i guess he shouldn't have told me that.When was the last time someone hit on you?the butcher hit me when i accused him of the affair, "as if i would do that to a dog," he said. i insisted. he hit me with his bloody hand. the hand held the cleaver, but he used the fist. the rings did enough damage.What did you have for dinner?a pineappleDo you wear hoodies often?every morning the butcher puts the waste meat into the bins outside my house. i have taken to kicking the bins over, so that the slurry runs into the drain between our two houses. recently, the filth seems to have seeped into the water, which runs from the taps tinged with pink and tiny scraps of what seems to be skin settle to the bottom of glasses. i can neither shower nor wash my plates in these conditions, yet every morning, yes, with my hoodie on, done up like a proper chav, yeah, i go out into the street and kick over the bin, spilling brains and feet all over my street.Can you whistle?here, baby. that's all you need know.Have you ever participated in a protest?i go to protests. i've protested for and against fox hunting. i protested against lowering the gay age of consent. i protested against section 28. i campaigned for the release of mandela. i've been on orange marches. i've picketed the imf and the g8. i've done the may day, i've done cnd, i've done the nf and the skinheads. i've done the anti-nazi league and the neo nazis. i've done animal rights and i've thrown rocks from behind the police lines. brixton riots, oldham, burnley. i'm like a character out of ballard. only even that gets tired sometimes. i've done custard pies. i've done molotovs. it's all been done.Who was the last person to call you?sarah called me. we haven't spoken in eight years. she got my number out the book. she said she'd been looking for something that she thought i'd taken from here when we were last together, a book. i remember that morning well enough. she was golden in the light of the morning. we bathed in the stream that morning, along with her kid, a boy. but the water was poison, and the kid had died soon after. what she wanted, a book that the kid had drawn in, an old school exercise book of hers. i told her i didn't know what she was talking about.What is your favourite ride at an amusement park?the best ride, was the big wheel, 1997, with dale and jeremy. we got stuck at the top for four hours, tripping. all we talked about was how amazing the feeding of the five thousand was, except that, there was this one kid who didn't like either bread or fish and we talked for a long time, hours maybe, about how bad jesus felt about this.Do you think people talk about you behind your back?phil once sent me a transcript of everything he said in one whole month. i think it was july 2000. there were 86 references to me, only 11 of which were in conversation with me. he and i have fallen out since, which makes me churn through again and again those reams of dot matrix paper. i guess it was because i knocked his door down at six in the morning last october, screaming something about hmv loyalty cards.What area code are you in right now?wait a minute. what is this?Did you watch cartoons as a child?my favourite thing to do as a child was put two television sets next to each other and two copies of the same video on, one running slightly behind the other. i explained to the child psychologist that it was a metaphor for my left brain struggling to keep up with my right, but he was having none of it. i didn't want to go to the home.How big is your local mall?big.How many siblings do you have?around nine.Are you shy around the opposite sex?the last time i was at my parents house scouting around the hard drive, i founded a downloaded porno that had to belogn to my dad. it was late at night, my computer started doing the strangest things. every time i moved the mouse it made a strange creaking noise, every click seemed to echo in my ears. as i was masturbating, a fly landed on the keyboard and began to languidly rub its hind legs together and buzz loudly. amongst the noises i picked out the deliberate gruntings of my parents having intercourse. i thought of my dad thinking of the film, and watched as the girls, one black, one white, took turns to suck cock. i felt disgusted. it took me a whole three minutes to come. a new low :(What movie do you know every line to?there isn't one, but if i had to say, it would be blue, derek jarman.Do you own any band t-shirts?damon albarnWhen was your last plane ride?i took nine return trips between here and ulan bator in january this year, convinced that an air-stewardess that i wanted to fuck was working that flight. i lost all my money and didn't see the girl. i had sex in the plane toilets four times though and each time i thought of her so hard the walls of our tiny jet seemed to quaver. i saw her again a few weeks later and she asked me straight up, "did you get that flight to ulan bator nine times to see me?", "no, of course not." i answered. "that's so romantic!" she squealed, and pushed herself into me. i knocked her down onto the floor and spat in her face.How many chairs are at your dining room table?noDo you read for fun?i... doCan you speak any languages other than English?mongolianDo you do your own dishes?i have a... man for thatWhat colour is your bedroom painted?a melange of different colours - my failed mural. i had originally planned to paint a series of great british fascists, but i gave up when my oswald mosely bore a striking resemblance to david seaman.Have you ever cried in public?the last time i cried was in stockholm. we, that is, myself and simon, had been out drinking in the evening and we arrived back at the hotel. he said he wanted cigarettes, and seemed to expect me to go out and get them. eventually i found a place. when i got back to the hotel, i found our room shut up, and simon checked out. penniless in a city i didn't know, nor speak the language of, i spent a tearful night in a shop doorway, only to be kicked awake by police early next morning.Do you have a desktop computer or a laptop?neitherWhich do you make, wishes or plans?every wish you make is another soul that will be your slave in the afterlifeAre you always trying to learn new things?i'm never trying. and yet, it happens.Are you currently wanting any piercings or tattoos?i'm currently half way through getting a giant one on my back of prince in his 'kiss' video, except prince's face is replaced with thom yorke's, and the female dancer's face is replaced with dr david kelly's.Do you believe that the guy should pay on the first date?i've only ever been on second datesCan you skip rocks?ho ho hoHave you ever been to Jamaica?i had a scrap with buju bantonWhat to snack on at the movie theatre?cock!Who was your favorite teacher?either richard blackwood or peter stringfellowat school i remember once when someone had copied a whole essay about shakespeare's macbeth out of one of those little guidebooks you get and the teacher, feigning ignorance of this fact, read the entire essay out, pausing only to compliment its style and depth of argument. we all learned something from that bitch.Have you ever dated someone out of your race?i only date racistsWhat is the weather like?the sky looks like... crayonWould you ever date someone covered in tattoos?i have done. i thought they were black, at first. the realisation came when they got eric b and rakim confused.Do you have an online journal?currently i have twenty six online journals. in each of them i have posted different and contradictory answers to these questions and every single answer is a lie. this one.What was your favourite class in high school?genderDo you enjoy traveling via airplanes?the last plane ride i enjoyed was between cardiff and bangkok. an air stewardess slipped a disc while walking down the aisle with a tray of drinks and was paralysed standing there in ugly contortion. all the thai businessmen on the flight ignored her as the whisky from the upturned glasses ran down the tray which had stopped just above her grimacing face, dripped down onto her forhead, and down her cheeks, some into her mouth, some into her blouse. as we landed, the jolt knocked her down and we all had to step over her to get off the plane.What personality trait is a must-have in your preferred

days ago. he was talking about how he'd got this little patch of land just outside the city, a few miles from the motorway with enough space for some livestock, good grazing for cows and sheep and good soil for vegetables. he was going to go all organic, go for the new markets. he asked me if i wanted in on it, half the profits, a place to stay, a share of the produce everything, as long as i helped out. he said there's a time early in the morning, around sunrise at the top of the hill behind his new house, where you can see this whole city stretching out in the valley below. all the buildings hazy, and the view is different every day, it depends on the weather, on the sun and the clouds. i couldn't even think, i just kept shouting "you cunt, you stupid cunt."Do you believe that

Radiohead in Peru

Posted by Italo Rossi del Aguila on April 3, 2008 at 9:06pm
First things first... hello guys, hello world, hello everyone. It's nice to see we've got a meeting point for Radiohead fans, at last! and it's run by w.a.s.t.e. so that's awesome. I guess this is the obligatory post asking Radiohead to play in South America at last... and not make it just Brazil and Argentina. There's lots of fans in Chile, Peru, Colombia and Venezuela willing to see the band in concert... come on, guys! Give it a try! :)Good luck on tour... hope things are great.I was supposed to fly to Florida to see the guys in concert, but my Visa was denied... so I won't see them this time around.Oh well... bugger. :(-Italo

One day, after the bloody revolution...

Posted by Harri (zonn) on April 3, 2008 at 6:18pm
Can I be a king? I think I would like that very much, but first I would have to lay down some ground rules. No organizing of friends and/or labor into "networking", this promotes communities which in turn can build group identities that aren't faithful to me, the king, and which I will have to root out and destroy (or co opt! a much cheaper option, I think). Another rule is that all will pay a stipend, as such as to be determined in due time (the stipend will most likely be that of livestock and vegetation, or first born daughters.)Adultery will not be tolerated! Make that idolatry. Actually, both, I mean neither, will be tolerated.I say!

He brings me to his bower bare

to show me that there's nothing there

that I could ever hold.

What cruel master leads me so,

giving to and taking fro,

pushing into the cold?

'tis Cupid--that mischievous boy

hath made many a clever ploy,

pulling all towards.

Then, when all are certain of the catch,

reaches in--a vicious snatch

has stolen our rewards!

Alone we cry, we weep, we pine

for that lover so divine--

have them we must!

Little do we know, so filled with rue,

that our beloved pineth too

for love from even us.

So from afar, two lovers gaze

at the other, waiting for praise

which won't come without a nudge.

Neither moves--rejection's fear

is looming far too close and near--

in love they will not budge.
