Bad Friend, Better Mom

I've been thinking a lot about this family I was once close to. We have only spoken or seen each other a few times in the last couple of years. I love these people very much. A part of me would like to so much more of them. Unfortunately, a bigger part of me needs to shelter my children from all the drama. There are intermittent prescription pills involved, which saddens me. They have had help on many levels. I really do wish that I could be there for them, and I am as much as I can. I check on them and email them, but it is difficult to stop by. Their kids are out of control and they are stuck in a bad situation. I don't trust them around my kids because they can't trust themselves to be vigilant as adults around children should be. I miss them, the sober them. It is that side of them that is adored by me. The rest is too much. I feel guilty for not being who they can lean on through this. I used to be. It all changed when I saw her going through my husbands pain pills trying to sneak a new bottle into her pants. I was disgusted and heartbroken that she would do that, especially since my husband had just been in a severe accident and had three surgeries a week before. He might have needed those pills. As it turned out, we still have most of them in the back of the cabinet, since he is very stubborn and hates pills. But the fact that she did not consider his sever pain while trying to steal from us, well, that did it. I wish her the best. I pray for her kids. I keep in touch with people that I know who know them, and of course I email. But I can't be in that. It's not good for me and definitely not good for my children. I love these people, but I love my kids more. Still I have guilt. Even in the middle of all this, when she found out I was pregnant a ways back, she saved all her baby's stuff. I didn't need to buy anything but diapers and socks until he was four months old. I was very thankful. It was great and these people are very giving. They are just troubled. I think shame over the pill incident has kept them from seeking us out more regularly. I should reach out more. Fear stops me. I'm being a bad friend, but a good mom. Is there a way to be both. I feel like I don't have enough fun time with my kids as it is, so how would I justify leaving to visit them without the kids. I hurt and I pray for them.

all my friends

thom yorke is the greatest singer/songwriter/performer/luminary that i have ever even heard of. this includes excluding elvis, john lennon, paul, bowie, costello, elton john, peter gabriel, avey tare, jack white, lenno, and the musketeer from F.R.I.E.N.D.S. .

upupupupupupupupupupup on you guyz' feet now!

ow

bit me.

lissen. everyone here should do everything in your collective powers that may or may not be to continue to promote good, solid, wholesome, and well crafted music for generations to come. we all will carry on.

lissen to the pixies more. we have to breed, people. sarah pallin will take over the world soon.

breed.

lissen to all of this and ask your collective mind what you think you should do about yourselves.

continue to listen to thom and beck and others, but don't limit yourselves to that. we all have a role to play. sometimes it gets you down, but if you don't try it you'll never know anything. be the best version of yourself. and listen to my music if it strikes your fancy.

also, tell me if you like it.

i am able to accept criticism. you can even tell me what would make the music better.

you all can do no wrong.

do not forget.

Bit in the ass

What do you do when someone close to you tries to say something nice while really breaking your heart? I loathe backhanded compliments. If you thought I was Lucifer, perhaps mentioning it a decade ago would have been better than telling how great I am now compared to being hells pawn back then would have been more productive. I have never gone out of my way to be hurtful or mean. Does it happen? Yes, on occasion by accident, of course it does. I am but human. Why can't people (me included) ever properly judge when to stop talking? How do we speak so much with our feet constantly in our mouths? I'll get over it, as usual. But sometimes, the sting is more than a sting and some cracks in the foundation of a relationship are irreparable. This has changed things, and I'm afraid it is permanent. Oh well, you can't choose family.

Atoms for Peace, en el Roseland Bowl de Nueva York. La banda cuenta con la presencia de Flea, Nigel Godrich, Mauro Refosco y Joey Waronker, quienes ya habían acompañado a Thom en vivo en Octubre pasado. Al quinteto se unió el trompetista Christian Scott durante el track inicial del show, The Eraser. Recientemente Scott realizó un cover del tema para su más reciente album.


Según cuentas de twitter, el set principal contó con los 9 tracks de The Eraser, el album solista de Thom de 2006, y luego Thom interpretó una nueva canción, al parecer bautizada Let me Take Control. Además, volvió a interpretar The Daily Mail en vivo, como ya lo había hecho en Cambridge en Febrero pasado.
Otro tema que reapareció en los shows es Judge, Jury and Executioner.

AFTER PARTY

La segunda noche se presenta Atoms For Peace, la banda paralela de Thom Yorke, en el Roseland Bowl de New York en lo que es el 2do show de su minigira por Estados Unidos, que culminará en el festival de Coachella.
El show ha sido retrasado media hora debido a una explosión en el area circundante. La gente que hacía fila para entrar al local no quería moverse a pesar del siniestro, debido a que habían estado desde temprano guardando lugar.
