Thom Yorke Will Get Adjectival On Your Ass

Radiohead update from the studio! Thom writes on deadairspace:

disconnected
disjointed
accidental
sketchy
fragmentary
synthesized
impermanent
momentary
Sounds like things are going great! Looks like it, too.

I don't know who is worse, Thom Yorke or Billy Corgan. A simple "things are going good/bad" would do just fine.

Thom Yorke:
posting cloying 15-year old girl messages since '97.
Congrats on 10 great years!

Good Lord. These type of vague posts are sort of fine if you're 13 and posting them on MySpace, but when they come from millionaires who are trying to get us to side with the dreaded "Artistic Anguish" of producing a fucking ROCK ALBUM, it all seems a bit sad. I worked all day today, and can sum it up this way:
Bored
Break
Bored
Lunch
Bored
Yelled at by Boss
Bored
Took a Bus home while getting hassled by the homeless.

Write a song about that you googly-eyed little fucker.

What kind of articulation do you expect from the mouthpiece of a band that's been passing off an incurable bout of writer's block as their new "sound" ever since the Kid A album.

Hey, hey, hey, now wait a chicken-pluckin' minute, people. I'll have NO RADIOHEAD BASHING until AFTER Starbucks Records has released the new CD!


Jeez. Everything in it's right place, Stereogummers.

Thom: Ed, do you think we should drop the synths for this track and use a guitar line instead?

Ed:(subconsciously)Is it mine or my wifes turn to pick the kids up after swimming class today, i cant remember..

Thom:Oh sorry, looks like you're in the middle of a creative brianstorm there.

I wish I was a rock star with a blog so I could write "everyone should eat their feces" and get other blogs like Stereogum to post the entry and ooh ahh over it. That's success!

I really hope this record sucks complete balls. Not because I don't like Radiohead, but because Radiohead fans are being so fuckin' ridiculous over this album that I hope they all get letdown.

Actually, I hope Radiohead goes back to making goddamn ROCK MUSIC.

Ed is vaguely remembering a time when he used to play guitar in one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Vaguely.

Thom: Make me another cuppa will you, you useless f**ker!
Ed: What's my job description again? I'm not putting up with this!
Thom: Oh OK, pretty boy. Here's what you do in my f**king band: Don't contribute creatively, strum Rickenbacker, do wobbly backing vocals, be the only handsome member of the band. Oh, and smoke dope to stop you thinking of all the above too much.
Ed: mmm, dope. Must roll joint. Yes sure Thom. English Breakfast or Earl Grey?

LOL at Peter P's comment :-) I'm certainly looking forward to the record, but Thom Yorke's Myspace-style disjointed, badly spelt musings on that blog are pretty embarassing stuff for a seemingly quite intelligent 38-year old man.

Umm...If this sounds to you like "something a 14 year old girl would post on myspace" then you are probably very uninformed as to the general artistic productivity of young teenaged girls.
Because Radiohead they are not.

These words are perfectly fine adjectives.

Kudos to Thom for concision, I say!

so, to be clear: if you're in a rock band, don't bother writing anything down for your fans. people will judge that and not the music you make.

Well...what are blogs, at the end of the day? Essentially, they're a form of work day distraction. Why are workers distracted? Because most don't like being at their jobs. So you have to expect that people are going to vent frustrations on a blog - it's pretty much inherent in the concept. So let the people use it to the full extent of its design - that's what makes them interesting. The music, really, is almost incidental when you think about it. Go to a blog about sandwiches, say, and you'll find a similar degree of nastiness.

Good point "Jeff". At least you're not apathetic. But you're a twat. See what I did there? Pretty clever. But not "Radiohead clever". Because computers didn't write my rebuttal. Except I suppose they did.

Now I'm just confused.

Twat.
