#20 Looks like a Goon! yet still a great driver,umm.
Yesterday Laura and I drove around Boston looking for the bike shop. As the rain fell we listened to the new Thom York CD and did not talk much. When Hail to the Theif came out I drove to fields in Missouri and Kansas. When I listen to the Bends I want to be driving on the interstate. OK Computer was the first CD I really tied to get my Dad to like and he declined.
As the CD ended everything we saw fit perfectly with the music and that is the way it is with Radiohead it is music you can be simple with because it is complex, like the picture on lincoln logs. I personally could never build any thing but a log cabin but the kid on the picture built a silo, fence, and fort. Maybe more like K'NEX with the variation and all.
Today at the pool, washing the dishes, walking around in Belmont, doing yoga it was in my head. Track two/not like a song stuck in your head but like one on repeat. As we listened yesterday I must say I was not overly happy. I felt like things could have been placed and developed better but...I want perfection to the point of weaping.
Laura pointed out that I would grow to love it and I have already changed my mind about the seventh track. So go buy it

Well, People mag had a so-so review of Eraser, but what do they know?

(a) who gets music reviews from People magazine anyway, Miss Funke?
(b) i like the flaws in things. this is officially the THIRD time Thom York has come up in e-conversation this evening. First on the start-up page to apple.com, second on Sam Julien's blog (aquittedfelon.blogspot.org), and now here. Sheesh! I think it's a sign!
but yeah. back to the flaws -- elk sounds like she knows what she's talking about when she says you'll grow to love it. flaw are that way. they're comfortable.

I don't normally read People mag, Bob, but my brief stint as a temp receptionist meant that I had to read what the waiting room offered. I tried to sneak off with the AARP edition upon which Paul McCartney's face beamed with 64 year-old smiles, but others in the office kept suggesting People, the latest edition of which boasted full-length articles on Tim and Faith, a feature that makes me highly suspicious of the editors' musical taste...
