after spending 13 hours deleting 330,000 spam comments from my database, i’m ready to start upgrading wordpress!
wish me luck… and don’t worry if things look a bit strange here for a while – i should of decided on a theme and graphics before i started upgrading
i finally got off my ass (well technically, i was already on my ass but my ears where busy) and listened to the new radiohead all in one go.
first thoughts? it’s a beautiful record.
maybe i should have more of a review, but seriously it feels like something i want to listen to forever. (yes, i am a big radiohead fan if you can’t tell).
i love love love that Nude is on there (also known as Big Ideas). i think Weird Fishes/Arpeggi is gorgeous. i adore All I Need, Reckoner, House of Cards, Jigsaw and Videotape (oh how i love Videotape!!). basically the whole album, i could smear on a cupcake.
i also love that it’s out just in time for the birth of our child – it seems radiohead has been there at many times of my life where things become very very clear or when i need it to become clear.
of course, Regan and I have already ordered the release of the cd/vinyl/artwork – and I’m not sure how much Regan paid for the free download, but it’s definately at least worth the usual asking price of any new album on cd…
.. but only after 3 minutes of half standing in the rain last night – i got it!
it’s also the first lightning storm since we’ve moved out here, so i feel lucky to have finally captured a bolt or two on the camera. yay!
