Thom Yorke - "Atoms For Peace" (go huntin') I feel so lucky. I feel like yesterday I was sick, and today I have the greatest father in the world. I feel 8-years-old, terrible at acting. Not funny, not moving, just generally uninteresting. Going home, crying about it, a hand on my back. "You should be the statistician for the play, you like numbers." I loved numbers. Ten different ways to make the change in my pocket. "You could do surveys of what the audience liked and didn't like, change the play." I did, by the last night, the baker's wife survived and the play was a lot shorter. They were right, it was better. A lot of people have trouble getting out of bed in the morning, and this is the most encouraging song I've heard in a long time. [info] ** I found the OhSees on the sidewalk, they were in a little package wrapped in brown paper, marked only with the word "country", and an air mail sticker. I picked it up to open it and the brown paper dripped off like pudding, and a laminated picture of cartoon ants playing instruments (with incorrect fingering) was all that was left. This song walks with a limp. [pre-order] Posted by Dan at May 31, 2006 1:47 AMComments

That thing was great. Posted by tim at May 31, 2006 12:09 PMbut then we wouldn't hear 'No More' "All wolves, all the lies, the false hopes, the good-byes, the reverses. No more wondering what even worse is still in store." Posted by airfigaro at May 31, 2006 11:29 PMPost a comment |
