colin & ed from radiohead just said that they're taking a break, and are just hoping to get into a room together to jam. i know i'm being incredibly selfish when i say I FORBID YOU TO DO THIS. GO ON TOUR NOW OR RELEASE ANOTHER FOOKIN ALBUM.

ok rant over. well actually only part of rant over.

i've got a terrible headache. and i'm aware that being in front of a screen probably isn't the best way to help this. however, nothing i do would reduce the headache. for instance, watching life on mars, listening to radiohead through my headphones, playing my guitar and singing.. etc etc... none of these things are going to help. just ahhhhhhhh. i'm annoyed. and hungry.

and i have about three days to finish a pretty much empty sketchbook. in the meantime i have to see cat lady, decide whether i want to move into the sherlock house and pretend that i'm ok to everyone.

now for a list of records i'd like to obtain on record store day (all quoted from NME):
  • The White Stripes' first ever release 'Let's Shake Hands' backed with 'Look Me Over Closely'. It's available on red and black vinyl with a fold-over picture sleeve.
  • The Kills have remixed their recent single 'Satellite', this time it features DJ Mad Professor who's done a dub version for a 10" vinyl edition.
  • A re-issue of Nirvana's previously Japan/Australia only 1992 EP 'Hormoaning'. It's limited to 6000 copies on coloured 12" vinyl and features 6 tracks. There are 4 covers (including The Vaselines 'Molly's Lips') plus two originals ('Aneurysm' and 'Even In His Youth').
  • A double dose of glam-wave art rock from early, Brian Eno-featuring Roxy Music. Their debut single, 1972's 'Virginia Plain' is backed with 1973's 'Pyjamarma' and limited to 500 copies.
  • Keep an eye out for a re-issue of Sonic Youth's 1993 tour-capitalising EP 'Whores Moaning'. The EP, which referenced Nirvana's 'Hormoaning' release, features a cover of the New York Dolls' 'Personality Crisis', Alice Cooper's 'Is It My Body' as well as rare 'Dirty'-era tracks 'Tamra' and 'The End Of The End Of The Ugly'.
  • Gil Scott- Heron and Jamie XX are set to release a special box set edition of their acclaimed collaboration 'We're New Here' featuring photos and lavishly designed artwork.
  • Metronomy's recent 'The Look' single gets issues on 7" with an exclusive non 'English Riviera' b-side 'Picking Up For You'.
