Look, I know it's blasphemous to dismiss Radiohead since they are the be all end all of existence, but it's an opinion. No reason to rush to their defense. I think they'll do just fine on their own.
New Releases This Week
No wrong-doing…I just think they're boring. Besides, like I said in my earlier post, I ordered the download…I just paid what I thought it would be worth, which wasn't much.

Where the hell am I? Radiohead is getting bashed, but not She Wants Revenge??

Radiohead is getting bashed
Originally posted by amnesiac:She Wants Revenge isn't greeted with the same orgasmic rapture as Radiohead. I don't really hate Radiohead, I just get annoyed by the hyperbolic exhortations that are inevitably a part of anything the band does. Frankly, I'm pretty sure that a DVD of Thom Yorke taking a shit would elicit comments like "EPIC!!!" and "HOLY CRAP!!11!!1!!!!!OMG!!!"

But even moreso with that eye. Imagine the things it would do trying to push one out.
PS. I agree with GGW 100%. Everyone knows that SWR are fucking lame. What's the fun in bashing that?

Seems like Radiohead is underrated

currently listening to "In Rainbows". download was surprisingly fast, i was afraid it was going to take hours. lots of guitars so far, based on the first 4 songs it's as if radiohead tried to write a pop album… but, being radiohead, they got lost on a tangent. pretty songs, nothing has really grabbed me yet tho. definitely more accessible than their last 3 outings. i'm entirely exhausted at the moment and really should be in bed, so in-depth listening is a no-can-do. looking forward to having a proper listen tomorrow at some point.

This is my isane wishlist for this week. Too bad I've had a killer month on the ol' Capital One card. Between weddings and business trips I haven't gotten reimbursed for, I've got to wait a few weeks.
EDIT: I did pick up the Beirut album from eMusic the other day. It's pretty good; nothing earth-shattering by any means, but definitely worth a listen.

Yeah, but 1) I have already used my 90 allotment for this month, and 2) I won't buy digital albums if I already own the CD versions of previous albums.
That's my cut-off for CD vs. MP3…I will only download bands who I have not previously listened to (or their music is not available digitally).
Hmmm…maybe this should go under "shit you thought only you did"?

The biggest thing this week is the fact that this morning's Sally Forth, the most white-bread comic strip in the Post, has a reference/shout-out to one of the edgier art-noise bands. And it's even kind of funny!
I just looked that up. Pretty comical!

Look, I'll admit that I'm a dinosaur that loves having the actual artifact of a CD. It's a huge step forward for me to actually download music (though my wife and lack of space definitely helped in that direction).
So I figured that was the best compromise, and it's worked well for me. I'm saving money and finding more new music than ever. But I do still covert those little insert booklets…
