RANDOM MUSIC-RELATED THOUGHTS:
*OK Computer? Still good. Terrible shame everything they followed it up with was crap.
*A lot is made of the influence of Jeff Buckley on Radiohead, especially in disucssions of "Fake Plastic Trees." But nowhere is the influence more evident than in the bridge of "Climbing Up the Walls," which out-and-out steals the break from "So Real," except that Buckley did it all without much in the way of studio trickery, and, thus, did it better.
*The recent trend in mashups has been nothing but good for the world (e.g. "No Fun/Push It"). Someone ought to give Soulwax an award.
*The Smiths? Can't really listen to "How Soon Is Now?" anymore (my life's not that pathetic), but "The Boy With the Thorn In His Side" and "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" have, if anything, gotten better with age.
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
