"He's very quiet. He can get tense very quickly. He's moody and childish and aloof but he can also be very affectionate and friendly". - Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead guitarist) about Thom Yorke
*lol* I knew this one.

"'Street Spirit' is our purest song, but I didn't write it.... It wrote itself. We were just its messengers... Its biological catylysts. It's core is a complete mystery to me... and (pause) you know, I wouldn't ever try to write something that hopeless... All of our saddest songs have somewhere in them at least a glimmer of resolve... 'Street Spirit' has no resolve... It is the dark tunnel without the light at the end. It represents all tragic emotion that is so hurtful that the sound of that melody is its only definition. We all have a way of dealing with that song... It's called detachment... Especially me.. I detach my emotional radar from that song, or I couldn't play it... I'd crack. I'd break down on stage.. that's why its lyrics are just a bunch of mini-stories or visual images as opposed to a cohesive explanation of its meaning... I used images set to the music that I thought would convey the emotional entirety of the lyric and music working together... That's what's meant by 'all these things are one to swallow whole'.. I meant the emotional entirety, because I didn't have it in me to articulate the emotion... (pause) I'd crack.... Our fans are braver than I to let that song penetrate them, or maybe they don't realize what they're listening to.. They don't realize that 'Street Spirit' is about staring the fucking devil right in the eyes... and knowing, no matter what the hell you do, he'll get the last laugh...and it's real...and true. The devil really will get the last laugh in all cases without exception, and if I let myself think about that to long, I'd crack. I can't believe we have fans that can deal emotionally with that song... That's why I'm convinced that they don't know what it's about. It's why we play it towards the end of our sets. It drains me, and it shakes me, and hurts like hell everytime I play it, looking out at thousands of people cheering and smiling, oblivious to the tragedy of it's meaning, like when you're going to have your dog put down and it's wagging it's tail on the way there. That's what they all look like, and it breaks my heart.
I wish that song hadn't picked us as its catalysts, and so I don't claim it. It asks too much. (very long pause). I didn't write that song". - Thom Yorke about Street Spirit>
Now I've got... "Cut Off" in my head.
Haha, I also understoog monkey, by the way. "Had the monkey, held the key" or "Hell" or whatever

.
"Solar system" and so on... "Convicts".

I actually wanted to say something about "Street Spirit", but never mind.
Er, what I wanted to say...

The thing about his fans, Radiohead's fans, not knowing about the meaning of the song... I find that interesting. Really interesting.
Because I obviously *rolleyes* didn't know it and because I didn't understand it and because I didn't understand it, given that I didn't understand it.
Erm... Now I have already lost this... my reaction to what he said. This feeling...
But... You, Lea... You have said that you feel like a bad person when you are reading/watching/listening to Thom Yorke interviews.
And I... I, well... I don't feel like a bad person because of that, I already feel like a bad person... So, erm... I feel...
I feel with him (if you can say that), I can, in most cases, completely understand what he is talking about and...
Well...
He... makes me see all bad in this world (and others as well) and... I dunno. It doesn't hurt me or haunt me. I don't even think that it makes me feel bad.
It just is... the truth.
The unbelievable truth. *rolleyes* Yeah... Haha. Stupid joke...
And...
I have to get all this into one post because the internet is so slow today, so I have to wait for five minutes for EVERY page on this message board to appear... come up... build up.
And back to street spirit: I don't even want to listen to it again because I will either realize what he was talking about or because I won't get it again or because...
Anyway...
I'll just go away. The internet pisses me off anyway. I'll just go and do my homework. So it's good that the internet is so slow today...
Erm...
Bye. Here are four pics which I found on atease an hour ago... Hope you enjoy them...






This looks so funny somehow.


For all the Thom and Jonny lovers.

Argh. Thom Yorke. Just...
I shouldn't have read the longer comment on "Street Spirit" because... Now I actually feel bad because I am thinking of listening to it again...
Maybe I can listen to it again in a few days. Or not.
Dammit, why does he always have to be so awfully harsh and realistic. He doesn't even want to be like that. But we all can't change our innermost selves, so I should shut up.
But it's Thom Yorke.
C'mon... This is too much.
"That's not good enough, that's not good enough." Well, thank you. I'll just go and do my homework, although I don't know what for, I don't know why I do anything... Just...
I just do it and go to bed and... I am continuing my cheesecake and... I'll do a bit of other silly stuff.
Silly glittery stuff.
And I still have to do my homework for three subjects and I have five books for my Physics presentation and I have to have at least a look at each of them.
So, see you. Bye bye.
Awwwww, Thom, Colin, Jonny...
Phil, Ed.
The comment really distracts me, although Ihatemusic has already told me about it... But it wasn't the exact words and now I am completely confused.
Just, aaahhh... No...
I don't think that I understand any song, so... I'll just go...
I don't know whether I understand anything, as pathetic as that may sound.
But... I just have to think of Politics in school. Ha ha.
Ha.
Ha ha ha.
Yeah, I'll buy myself How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb soon and then I'll be a U2 fan and I'll love Bono and spam the whole forum with pictures of him. And I'll spam atease. And coldplaying.
Shame, the Who forum I went to isn't there any longer. Or it seems to me that it does.
So, bye.
P.S.: The Adam Clayton band!
Or... Martin, Gallagher and Buckland!
Or... Thom Yorke loves guitarists with long black hair if they have a big brother and are called Jonny.
The last band name is the coolest. *loooool*
