happy radiohead day (qotd:101007)

one of my dearest friends, gina, messaged me today.
“happy radiohead day”

omg! how could i forget...

“is that 2day?”
i scrambled (dramatization?) toward the radiohead “dead air space” website. i had meant to get their new only-downloadable-from-their-website album the moment it was self-leaked.
eep!

another im came.
“used liz’s dnld link... do you want mine?”

omg omg omgomgomg!

“sure”

gina: “you’re gonna cry”

13 minutes later i was listening to the album track by track. i got stuck at ”nude” and listened twice. then at “weird fishes/arpeggi.” listened several times.

then it started... i had called her a liar...

i cried.

and i kept listening... “all i need” is painfully beautiful “...i'm the next act waiting in the wings... i'm an animal trapped in your parked car... i am all the days 
that you choose to ignore... you are all i need...”

i think i’ve listened to this album through about a hundred times in the past 3 hours. so far this is my fav.

it’s called “videotape

“when i'm at the pearly gates
this will be on my videotape, my videotape
mephistopheles is just beneath
and he's reaching up to grab me

this is one for the good days
and i have it all here
in red, blue, green

red, blue, green

you are my center
when i spin away
out of control on videotape
on videotape
on videotape
on videotape

this is my way of saying goodbye
because i can't do it face to face
i'm talking to you after it's too late
from my videotape

no matter what happens now
you shouldn't be afraid
because i know today has been the most perfect day i've ever seen.”

Hey! Yeah I need to take a listen. I still want those Dresden Dolls songs if you wanna send em my way... =)
p.s. do you have a webcam??? Does it work well? Sam and I are looking into getting some and he mentioned you had one, let me know if you have any tips on brands etc... =)
Hope you are good!

HA! Yeah I guess you are right, I probably shouldn't post it on my blog-but no one I work with has the privilege of reading my blog =) But I found out lots of other (unexpected) people read my blog (there is a story to this I am sure to tell you someday...) Anyway-WAY excited for the CD-whoo hoo!!!! =)

We aren't all as privileged. Over here the Baking Indians just made a happy Radiohead cake and the Barbecue Indians....Barbecued.

Oh, I almost forgot. I kept having to scroll down to read the older post first and ever time I past the picture I thought about the crazy monkey on the family guy or the monkey on Power Puff Girls.
