Survey about "A Moon Shaped Pool"

Hello all,
I'm Miriam, Radiohead fan, and Music Business student. I'm writing my dissertation about co-creational marketing for my master's degree.
I need the help of as many Radiohead fans on earth! I've created this survey about "A Moon Shaped Pool" marketing campaign and I would love to have your feedback.
Just to put everything in context my dissertation starts with the review of the marketing campaign of Radiohead ninth album and subsequent typologies of co-creation practices, followed by the investigation about risk and implications of the same strategies on niche artists.
Below the link for the survey.
 
Thanks guys. Love you all.

Concrete and Rainbows

carbon copy
cracker kids
all square and full of holes
chasing
someone else's dreams
doing only as they're told

gaping wounds
conformity
it's useless to resist
grayscale thoughts
behind closed eyes
rainbows do not exist

follow the leader
play pretend
grown-up rules, abide
broken backs
and camel straws
there is no place to hide

technicolor 
memories
it was just a game
forty years
of servitude
society's to blame

here and now
when youth is young
and colors bold and bright
uncharted paths
with neon skies
teach them hold true and tight

planets turn
and water flows
when dreams, have yet, to die
tomorrows 
more than yesterdays
the young see bluer skies

Vacuity In Excess

I wander aimlessly through this world without you
As I have countless times before
Ever feeling unwhole 
Once we happened upon each other
Completion
Bound by distance
What was once empty
Is now a void able to be filled
Only by you
I am able to be loved by you alone
Loving what has always been mine
Still, forced to wander aimlessly through this world without you

Frangible

Polished stone in gray-hued splendor
I see you seeing me
The real me
Beyond the facade
Through the masks
Can you see me seeing you
Behind your pain
Steeped in love
Truth hurts
So they say
But it's lies we tell ourselves
That gouge the deepest souls
Show me what you will
I will see what I will see
Baby steps to normalcy
Or giant leaps toward love
Fear tempered loneliness
Joy casts no shadows 
In eyes of burning smoke
Pure light
In darkness breaks
No
Darkness breaks
In pure light
Why must one break another
I am fragile, cracked
Will you break my darkness
I am void
The absolute absence 
Can your light
Penetrate the power of nothing
Why must one break another
Why must we torture 
Those who won't shatter

A letter I may never deliver

How is it possible
for me to be more lonely
when I'm with you than when
I am on my own?


I guess that when I'm with you
it's not just you but
it's all the other people that 
you might have been
if things hadn't happened
quite the way they did.

At what point do I realize that
it isn't you, it's just that
I can't keep myself from wondering,
can't help but deconstruct?

I know you like security,
and certainty, and surety,
but I get nauseated at
the thought of standing still.

______

Yes I know you want to fuck
and no, we probably won't again--
you haven't listened
to a word I've said.

______

My body like a weapon,
one you'd like to hold--
do you fear me now
or have I been too bold?

______

Oh, little girl,
how you wanted to be
someone fearless and brave,
now you hide from the sun!

Oh, little girl,
thought you'd rule the world--
what a terrible thing
to waste a wish on!

________

Should have kept my mouth shut
shouldn't stick my neck out
shouldn't stand so tall when you
just want to mow me down

Should have kept my clothes on
should have kept my legs shut
I can't speak for all but
I can speak at least for me.

_______

I lock the front door to my
best friend's parents' house,
Oh it sure is nice to be here
but it sure as hell ain't home.

Walk towards the lightning storm
and I hope it rains
and I don't know where I'm going
but it sure is nice to roam.

This is the first time that
I've ever been alone before,
and I just want to crawl 
back into your bed

and please don't tell me that
you'll take me back into your arms,
you can't force a love to
rise up from the dead.

The Arrogance of Ignorance

The following article is particularly important to me, not only because it perfectly captures my intent with this blog, but also illustrates the personal “drama” of my life. How do you communicate with others when what motivates you is self-development and conscience awareness for a better world and you get called all sorts of names and charged with petty accusations for your efforts? Not just by strangers but your closest relatives. Why do we even persist in trying? Because we're kind of stupid? Out of naivety? Optimism? Or maybe it's because we're just our authentic selves and nothing and nobody — neither emotional blackmail nor fear of rejection — can ever coerce us into fitting the mould of compliance set by a castrating society which conditions us at every level in order to breed us like chicken. Chicken run! :D

On a more personal note, as recently as yesterday I was trying to be obliging with my own (extremely self-hating) mother who keeps complaining that we can never talk. So I tried to engage in mundane conversation to avoid any kind of controversy. I began telling her how I might have found out what triggered some of my current health issues, but she rudely cut me off in mid-sentence saying, “Oh yes, I know, it's because...” An almost systematic way of hers. No matter what I say, she can't help showing that she KNOWS. The problem is she knows absolutely nothing and what she thinks she knows, while arrogantly interrupting me, is all commonplace and never anywhere near what I actually have to say. So I either stop and shut up (what's the point if she's all knowing?) or insist trying hard not to get carried away while she's being downright rude, explaining as quietly as possible that it would be nice if she would just let me finish since what I meant to say is nothing like what she had in mind. It always turns out to be a total waste of time as, in any case, she continues unabated until I finally lose my temper, giving her all the evidence she needs that I'm always trying to impose my views on others... Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the unfairest of them all?


So what do I do? Carry on assuming the stigma of the ingrate daughter thus allowing the manipulation to make me feel guilty and undermine my self-worth? Or realise that I was raised this way and that the lifelong lack of self-confidence that led me to miss many opportunities while having a dramatic influence on every choice I made was all but another form of conditioning.


At any rate, reading this article sparked out many neural connections in my brain — triggering sudden insight and I do hope it will be the case for you as well. Today of all days you're more than welcome to share your own personal experience in the comments below.

A muse's musing

Wrote this little story. It has some bad words in it so cover your ears if your feathers are easily ruffled.

_______

"How long have you been attracted to me?"

I wasn't attracted to him. Never had been. But I also didn't want to crush him because I know how men are.

He had told me about his masturbation problem. I wondered how many times he'd jacked it today, wondered if I had run through his mind doing nude somersaults and lipping my licks and rubbing my clit. I wasn't afraid of the answer per se, but it didn't make it any less weird.

I'd just come to realize the harsh truth that I was a sexual being in a sexual world, and in the eyes of many, I was a piece of meat. I was newly single and felt as though all my friends who had kept their desires in check out of respect for my former relationship were now finally allowed to express how they felt, and it was only a matter of time before they all came a-calling.

I'd broken up with my boyfriend two and a half weeks ago and in that time had hooked up with him 4 times (once after coffee, once after lunch, once while his roommate scowled and simmered jealously in the living room, once in the bathroom of a very small apartment in the middle of a party).

I'd also hooked up with a close friend, a photographer I often worked with, a photographer I used to work with, and I had gone on no fewer than 3 other dates with people in my orbit. It was getting a little overwhelming, in truth, but it was nothing I couldn't handle. I savored the chaos and delicate web of emotions. It was a puzzle I had to solve.

But the immediate puzzle before me was what to do about this situation: my friend, whose boyfriend I hooked up with two weeks ago, who herself had expressed interest as well; my friend, with whom I was about to live for the next year in a small house in a small city; my friend, whose brother sat before me on the bed in the spare bedroom at their parents' house where I was staying while I figured out the rest of my life; my friend's brother, who I'd known since before middle school, boner pressed against his gym shorts, lips puckering up for a kiss.

And who was I to refuse? I had opened my legs to all sorts of men--the geriatric sculptor with liver spots on his hands, the man who limped and photographed with one arm because of his condition, the artist with the alcoholic menopausal wife, the sexual predator with the chickens running around the yard, the man who hadn't felt a thing in years.

What was one more, especially if it would lead to happiness? It didn't cost me much, but meant so much to them.

The truth of that fucked me up real good.

The Lowest Frequency

Cursed to vibrate at
the lowest frequency--
my humming heard in
every bar, street, and subway car

and I can't go far without
coming face to face with
the truth of what I am to you:

a hole
waiting to be filled.

OPEN LETTRE « PLEASE DEAR RADIOHEAD GUYS: GO BACK TO THE ROOTS »

 

I’m your N° 1 fan since the 90’s. I used to dance all your songs at my favorite Rock bar in Cali, Colombia named “Sesame Street”. I used to buy your albums and I listened on my way to study.

 

I went to the concert at Alges - Lisbon, 8 July. And let me tell you… I LIKE SOOOOO MUUUUUCHHH!!!! THANKS GUYS FOR SUCH AN EXTRAORDINARY SHOW!!!!

 

Today, I think honestly, without hurt any feeling, that you are lost the essential of Radiohead. I understand that a group must evolve, the lyrics, the sounds, the melody, the harmony, the instruments, etc. …

But I think that evolution is so distant of your beginnings and development as a group.

 

At the beginning Radiohead, was basic and complex at the same time. The three guitars and its distortions, the bass, the drums and others instruments for coordinate all. Ah!!! I didn’t forget the awesome voice of Thom York! Your music was guaranteed of quality and talents!

 

You have had an excellent sound, with character, force, heart and the most important SUBSTANCE!!!

 

When I listen the new album “A moon shaped pool” I can appreciate your music as a fabulous NEW GROUP, that’s not RADIOHEAD. It lacks of power, soul and continuity of all your abilities. Your capacity of evolution lets behind your origins.

Please, dear Radiohead guys: go back to your origins!!!

it's never enough

i was around maybe..twenty one...or maybe...twenty two...and it was my birthday...I was sitting outside on a porch of someone elses' house...I had just cleaned my boyfriends room and was waiting for him to return (from work or some party)...it was storming outside...so I was listening...because I always love to listen to the wind the rain and the sky..but this time was different.

it was storming for sure...just like many other times. but this times it sounded "circular" there was a sound above that resonated...like...as if...imagine somebody touching their fingers on a wine glass...only this sound was encompassing the whole sky. the whole sky. the circufrance was huge. it made me want to cry and laugh at the same time. I could hardly believe my ears.

I heard this sound. resonate around me...and through the storm.

I listened to it for hours...totally en-tranzed. the roommate that lived at the house of my ex boyfriend, Ariel, she asked me what I was doing outside, and I said I was listening, and I asked her, don't you hear it? the sound....circling above like a crystal glass bigger than we can ever imagine? bigger than we can make sound? she waited a while...enough to hear it...but I couldn't tell if she was saying she did hear it to appease me or because she really did. the look in her eyes told me that she did. anyways it doesn't matter because I heard it. and it was.....with or without me hearing it.

out of this world.

to this day...I don't know what that sound was....and never will...but it was..beautiful...

surely that was one of my darkest hours...happy to hear some bells...in the darkness...

I carry on...as all energy does...we go on...

I'm just grateful for the sound of creativity and life.

this is what I am alive for.

My first blog about anything... Ever!

The Bends has been a permanent fixture in all my cars for the last 20 years. Played pretty much every day in some shape or form especially Planet Telex-still sends a shiver down my spine even today!

Ive got all Radiohead's CD's and i have to say 'A moon shaped pool' is what has prompted me to do this blog.

Absolutely awesome! i have no fancy or arty comments re the technicallity of the music just that it has struck a chord with me especially 'Burn the witch', 'Daydreaming',  'the numbers'  and 'tinker tailor...'

Will these songs be with me in 20 years time like Planet Telex ? i don't know, all i can say is they send shivers up my spine right now and thats what great music should do!

Radiohead you have once again cemented yourselves as my favourite band!

Thank You

Milnsey
