What kind of defeatist attitude is that?

So that landlady that never turned up.
She never answered her phone, either.
Tried calling her just now, no answer, followed by a poorly written text stating that the current tenant has decided not to leave so the room is no longer available.
So was I going to be informed if I didn't keep calling? I doubt it. What an unprofessional douchebag. I hope she has massive problems somewhere down the line leading to her financial ruin, forcing her to sell of the houses at a reduced rate just to have enough cash to eat tinned mushy peas to survive.

Your friend sounds like a cool guy, can he use your GAF account for a couple of months?

Was The Bends before or after Kid A? That's the only one I care for.

The Bends was their second album. It was after Pablo Honey and before OK Computer.
There's not one track I skip on that album

Kid A was released in 2000, bends in 95'

Ah well, OK then. I knew OK Computer and Pablo Honey predated Kid A, but The Bends always gets mushed together with Hail to the Thief and Amnesiac in my head.
Never before has a man been as indifferent to Radiohead as I am :lol

Whoa don't wish that on somebody, nobody should be forced to eat tinned mushy peas ever no matter how evil I would not even wish that on Dave Cameron.

Meh, that's what my GF says but I humbly disagree. I think it might be the age difference as she's a few years younger than me.
Fine, fine. Then I simply hope she falls over and breaks her leg in an especially painful manner.
I genuinely do.

I think that OKC is obviously the 'best', most cohesive album and a good era as they moved into 'weird' without losing 'melodic'. However, I enjoy In Rainbows more as a record even if it's not as groundbreaking as some of their other work.
Listening to Belle and Sebastian in the office, feeling foppish.

'Best' is obviously subjective but most cohesive? Not feeling that at all.

What type of hairdo is that?
Utopia is insane, although I'm guessing it'll wear thin if it has multiple seasons. Hope it's concise unlike Lost or Heroes.
So this is where Curtis from Misfits ended up! Also, I guess I should see Kill List.
Gorgeous cinematography, great use of the yellow and blue color palette. Most striking thing on TV right now, felt like a movie.
If you liked the music, it's by Cristobal Tapia De Veer. You can hear the Utopia tracks here.
Here's the stunt fall behind the scenes, quite scary.

Kill List was good apart from the shit it throws in out of nowhere.

Walk into job centre, ask if I can talk to a careers advisor, guy says "are you on jsa?" u say no, he asks if I'm working, I say no, he's Confused to why im not on it and says I can get all the help I need once I'm on job seekers, ffs
My real favourite Radiohead album is OK Rainbows - that cut and paste of OKC and In Rainbows tracks all delightfully ordered. Works so well!

We have like 8 people in today out of an office of around 100 in my department. I just sent them all home, it's literally pointless for us to be here today. The trains weren't even that bad, I just think people are using the snow as an excuse for a long weekend.
I've sent out emails being the mean boss today though saying that I expect everyone in tomorrow by 11am or there will be problems. Snow or no snow, work has to get done.

Amnesia was recorded in the same sessions as Kid A - it's nickname is Kid B.

You think? OKC is dystopian through and through. All the songs sound like they come from the same fevered mind with the themes of isolation and cold modernity and the sound palette used throughout. In contract, In Rainbows sounds like a collection of songs with little to tie them together. I just like the songs more on IR.

Yea its empty here. No excuses either as I was in the city office at 5:30am with no issues.

The office I'm in right now is very quiet, but I think over half are in. All of my team were in and one guy takes a 2hr coach to work every day. No excuses! Looking out my window in Barbican and the roads, even the side streets, are spotless. There's a bit of slush still on the pavements but it is fine really.

Don't have a permanent address, going to go and talk to housemate and see if I should just fully move in, it seems it will improve my job prospects
Green Ska FFVI is shit on PS1. I mean, I played it back in the day because I had not other means to play FFVI.
These days? Virtual Console.
Or buy the PS1 version on the cheap to have legally bought a copy, then just download a SNES rom and emulate it.

Yea it was a little slippery by St Pauls this morning, but I just went out and it seems good. People are just being lazy.

You could have just posted that in the thread.
Load times was all I needed to know to back away from that purchase, anyway. I'm sorta tempted to play them in reverse order, starting at IX, if only because IX is the most appealing to me out of the 3 PSN games.

It's funny how many of us there are around about a square mile of each other.
I agree with everything you say about OK Computer - it's a concept album with a strong 1984 theme. I keep meaning to write down my thoughts about writing an OK Computer musical - it'd be in the vein of We Will Rock You & I have some awesome ideas for it.
So you'd've been 20 when it released? I can't imagine why your age would affect your thoughts on it, in that case.
Do yourself a favour and get the special edition with the massive selection of b-sides on disc 2. Jedeye suggested I listen to them a few months ago and they were so good they blew my mind.

Well I'm at my soon to be new address but the arrangement was that I won't be fully moving in until I have a job, however it's impossible to find work here whilst back up in Devon, I'm going to have a talk with the family friend and see if I should just go for it

There's also the 8-bit versions of Kid A and OK Computer, although these seem to be disappearing from YouTube. :/

About that. As for the age thing, I find it much harder to get into newer stuff the older I get as do a lot of people. I know that I was a lot more passionate about music as a teen than I was in my twenties and much more impressionable. The Bends was the soundtrack to one of my best summers ever and that obviously plays into it but I prefer the more rock/guitar based stuff to the later electronic influenced stuff.
For my gf, OK Computer is her favourite for similar reasons.

Good point actually! I think the OKC era b-sides are my favourite radiohead album - the poppiness of the Bends with the sonic breadth of OKC. Poifect!
