Today I met Thom Yorke

So I got out of bed, got ready and headed up to Brick Lane with papa. I know I am one inclined to paranoia, but I felt it was awfully strange how when we got to Rough Trade at about 11:15 there seemed to be no sign of a queue whatsoever, however as soon as we stood in the middle of the road, within the next minute there was a magically formed queue that snaked round the road.

I was probably about the tenth person awaiting The Universal Sigh and I went into Rough Trade to purchase my TKOL vinyl while papa waited in the queue. People kept dodging past us (as we were awkwardly stood in the middle of the road as I mentioned before) and a couple of men strolled past, in which I managed to catch one of them say "Oh yeah, it's that Radiohead thing, they're turning up apparently" as if it was no big deal. I just turned round to papa and started laughing, all "Yeah, on what fucking planet are they going to show up?"

It was fate that every time I looked at my phone exactly two minutes had passed. It was also fate that whilst everyone else was having some deep conversation about thepossibilty of TKOL part 2, I looked up and exclaimed "OH MY GREENWOODS!!!!!!!!". Naturally everyone stared, thinking that I was due back at the mental home. I just shouted again "OH MY GREENWOODS". Still nothing. "IT'S THOM... IT'S THOM!!!!". Well eventually everyone seemed to get the message that it was Thom Yorke standing there and naturally, like you do in these situations, everyone got their cameras out and started taking pictures. I think I was the only one who was suffering from a fit of "fangirlism" however.

So yeah, basically we all waited and went up to get our paper. Stanley gave me mine, but 'accidently' gave me two, so adding the other one papa got, I now have three papers. Once I got them I went to go and meet/get my picture taken with Thom (he looks EXACTLY like you'd imagine him to, strange thing to say I know, but it's true). He said "Hey" with a little nod that spoke volumes of 'yeah, you love me, aren't I amazing'. I giddily glanced back and then the first (and pretty much only) thing I said to him was "do you have any idea how awkward it is standing here with a picture of you on my top?" he laughed and said "you feel awkward? Imagine how I feel stood here with all these fookin people... blahhhhhh!". We laughed again. We turned to the cameras, I had no idea where I was suppose to look and then after about five seconds we both turned to each other, said goodbye and I skipped off.

I love him so much and I could die tomorrow in the safe knowledge that I am the happiest person that ever lived.

This guy is a genius/best review ever

"Radiohead finally outed themselves as worshippers of Satan. Those sneaky guys. Thought they could get away with it, didn’t they? On first listen, I didn’t notice it either. But then the clues started popping up. And then you put them all together and you see that Radiohead weren’t just warning of a creepy new world where people are like machines and machines are like people. No, they are actually trying to bring it on, and they are seeking some evil help.

The King of Limbs is named after the “Big Belly Oak” in Savernake forest, which is pretty close to the house where they recorded their last album. And thanks to Google, I figured out that, according to legend, you can summon the devil by dancing naked counterclockwise around the tree. And you know what Radiohead went and did? They released the King of Limbs along with the first video:

HE IS DOING A DEVIL DANCE! OH MY GOD! Radiohead is trying to create the robotic dystopia they have been singing about by releasing a devil into the world to eat Christian Americans! See, it is as simple as (1) Devil Tree, plus (2) Devil Dance, equals (3) Radiohead hate your life. Oh, there might be more hidden clues in this album!

Remember, you have to dance counterclockwise to summon the devil. Counterclockwise=playing the album backwards, right? So of course I listened to the album backward, because, hey, I am genuinely scared about the future. I can tell you this: if you get the album, and then reverse the second-to-last song, and then copy the file, and then pitch one copy down two semitones and the other copy up two semitones, and mix the two together and play them on headphones, you will hear a special message. I won’t tell you what it is though because that’s not what me writing this is all about. This is about the music.

I liked the music. And yes, I’m just saying that because I like Radiohead. And no, there is no point in reading any more reviews about Radiohead ever again. You already know what you think of them."

I prefer this version.

Actually no I don't! What am I saying?

Scrap that. Yes I do.

Impulse purchasing is good.

They're all mine. Ha ha. I don't have problems

I was pondering the idea of going into town. I want to buy Music for 18 Musicians, Bullets & Lullabies, Norwegian Wood and hopefully a mac game of some sort. Only thing is that I don't think I can cope with being in public. It frightens me. A lot. So instead I think I'll take a trip to Thorpe with pa and go to The Bell Inn for my favourite pork meal. First of all though I'm probably going to have to smarten up, right? I've been in the same clothes for three days now. Should probably change at some point, not that I see the point.

Detective!

Eep!

Basically, there are all these rumours flying around that there is going to be a King of Limbs part 2 released at some point in the not to distant future. What makes you say that I hear you say? Well first there's the fact that when I downloaded the album online it said "KOL1". The number may only be for convenience, but what if it's there as there are more KOL's going to be released? Also, there's the fact that even for the allusively different Radiohead, a 37 minute album is extremely short. Plus there's the fact that the last track is titled "Separator" which could be the symbolism of a separator between two parts of the album. And then there's the highly suggestive fact that the lyric "if you think this is over, then you're wrong" is repeated continuously throughout the last song.

Love you forever and ever Radiohead. Missing you already, get back to us soon?

Do you have any idea how annoying it is?

When so called "Radiohead" fans completely tear apart their new album and the more recent ones due to them being "experimental" and "electronic."

I find the thing people forget is that Radiohead are defined by being different. NOT by "OK Computer". They're not a classic rock n 'roll band who have tailed off into a completely different direction. Radiohead have always strived to sound different and create music which is provocative. They're not a people pleasing band. They won't conform to what others wish of them. They are Radiohead and they can do what the fuck they like because any true Radiohead fan will accept them and truly believe how fucking amazing any sounding music of theirs is.

Yeah, because the material from Hail to the Thief is really shit, isn't it? :|

LOL LOL LOL LOL. I'm going to kill Mr Benham for seeing them twice.

Clothes shopping is disgusting.

I'm going try and post a picture from a magazine I like every post, or at least every day... I think that this particular one was taken from Dazed & Confused a couple of years ago.

So I bought my prom dress last night. It's pretty funky, as are the shoes I got to match. I think the only let down with the outfit is precisely that; it could be perceived to be too 'matchy matchy'. But oh well, I have no doubt it'll look rockin' on the night.

This video ultimately proves that Mick Jagger has still most definitely got his swagger.

From one legend to another, Radiohead have announced that their new album The King of Limbs is available for purchase on SATURDAY! I am so excited I might just wet myself. I could literally listen to Thom Yorke's voice for eternity. Eep.

Oh, so I tried shopping in actual shops on Sunday and it didn't really work out very well. I bought nothing. But yeah, I hate going into shops, unless I'm in Brick Lane, which I wasn't So nerrr!

And now it is undoubtedly time to begin planning that dreadful literature essay. I'm so tired. And this is before I've even dared to look inside the evil sketch book of doom.

Ah! Maybe if I watch Lord of the Rings it will all be OK. Yes, definitely. Let's do it.

Ha ha, happy valentines day.
