Good job on the song nsw.

I need to be asleep and not at work right now.

 

[redhotswami]

yeah work is not my happy place. but i have next monday off! do you?

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

No

We get Election Day and Veteran's Day off next month though, so I can't bitch too much about it.

 

[redhotswami]

No

We get Election Day and Veteran's Day off next month though, so I can't bitch too much about it.

ooh election day is nice! i love having days off in the middle of the week. it is so hard to go back to work after an extended weekend.

I have that Beyonce/Jay Z song in my head. Crazy in Love or whatever it is. I never realized how flexible she was until I sat that video. Damn.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

you sat on a video? did it hurt?

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Damn, one second too late. I was gonna say that.

 

[UberBeaver]

Dammit. Everyone's a critic......and a Giants fan, apparently.

 

[redhotswami]

i just realized i DON'T have monday off.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Oh sucky. At least you can suffer with the rest of us who don't have it off, either.

 

[redhotswami]

i mean it is ridic! the students have the day off. i'm not in residence life anymore. why do i need to be here if there are no students? this school is whack!

 

[Drea]

<-- has next Monday off because it's Thanksgiving

 

[UberBeaver]

My next day off is Thanksgiving.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Heh.

 

[redhotswami]

i was looking at jobs in ireland, and it seems as though a full-time job is working just 35 hours! that is the high life right there.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Good lord I'm freezing in here. I've got goosebumps and everything. :brrrr:

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

And that entire Radiohead thread is just proving exactly how overrated they really are. oubleyawn:

 

[UberBeaver]

I used to like Radiohead a lot, then they got too weird. At some point "art" becomes "weird" to me. They crossed that point with the last song on Amnesiac.

nice... It took me 1/2 hour to read through the Radiohead thread (that rhymes...) to find that the info I needed was the second last post: the new album will be released on CD in early 2008.

I'll wait for it on CD thanks, I don't need some crazy $80+ boxed set or the hassle of downloading tracks...

I like Radiohead quite a bit; they have really grown on me over the past couple of years.

I liked The Bends and Ok Computer, but with each release it just got harder for me to like them, and now I don't even care.

Just give me some straightforward rock and I'm a happy girl.

 

[redhotswami]

i never got into them. but i'm curious. as someone new, which is a good album to start with?

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Kid A









Just kidding. I'd start with The Bends. It's the most accessible, to me at least.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

OK Computer or The Bends are probably the most accessible...

 

[RavenBlue]

Check used shops too.. as you'll likely find 'em cheaper.

 

[UberBeaver]

I started with OKC and it's one of my favorites albums of all time. Exit Music into Let Down rules. So much good stuff on that album.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Mia, are you a fan of U2's "more experimental" stuff like Passengers?

 

[redhotswami]

yes, i love passengers!

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

yes, i love passengers!

even the "weird stuff" like One Minute Warning or Ito Okashi?

 

[redhotswami]

well...they aren't my fav tracks from the album but i do find them interesting.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Then you would probably like RH...

You have to like his voice to start, some (like my wife) find it whinny and annoying, I can see past that...

For me I have had to give them repeated listens to really get into them. Their newest album for example (Hail To The Thief), has taken me a good month to really get into...

I like that about them though, I find it very rewarding when it finally clicks but even I find some of their stuff a little too much... Like for some reason, I really don't like Pablo Honey very much, it's probably my least favorite out of all of their albums and it's the most straight-forward "rock" album...

If you try them out, I would suggest getting the albums in this order:

OK Computer
The Bends
Kid A
Amnesiac
Hail To The Thief
Pablo Honey
