Radiohead: Welcome to the Machine

I've just started Tim Footman's book, Radiohead: Welcome to the Machine: OK Computer and the Death of the Classic Album, and, so far I'm loving being able to read it and sync up my iPod to listen to each song as he makes reference to it.

I'll review the book once I've finished it, but until then, here's the entire album as can only be found on YouTube:

1. Airbag:

2. Paranoid Android:

3. Subterranean Homesick Alien:

4. Exit Music (For a Film):

5. Let Down:

6. Karma Police:

7. Fitter Happier:

8. Electioneering:

9. Climbing Up The walls:

10. No Surprises:

11. Lucky:

12. The Tourist:

Alt-Rap Friday

Brother Reade - Like Duh

To me, this song seems like a great guidebook to being cool. It doesn't matter if you're a little pasty, or if you've got creepy glasses and a habit of staring. Just be the *#@! you.

QT - U2B

Busdriver - Avantcore



I dunno what this guy's talking about most of the time, but it sure sounds good.

QT - U2B

Justice - Dance

Schoolhouse + hipster rock + funk = Justice - Dance:

Traveller

I haven't done a lot of traveling, really. I washed dishes at the bottom of the earth, and it took a trip through New Zealand to get there. But before that I had only been to another country once.

Yet I have a map of the world on my wall, and there are pushpin flags that mark the places I'd like to go someday. And when I go there, I know the songs I'd like to hear.

Music in Antarctica

When I arrived in Antarctica, on August 25th, 2004, I was lost. I had just taken an unplanned semester off from school. I had just returned home from a two-week road trip up the Eastern Seaboard. I barely slept at all during my two days in New Zealand. The next day was my birthday.

And there I was, working my first 10-hour shift of a six-month contract to wash dishes in arguably the remotest place on earth.

The first night, I laid on my bed and listened to this song, over and over and over. It is a perfect soundtrack for nighttime on the ice. Everything is quiet and deadly cold. And all you have with you, in the end, is your thoughts. (And, hopefully, an iPod.)
