No Surprises was my immediate fave off that LP and like most The Bends is the LP for me. I shall be at their Glasto show too, that last gig there was one of the best gigs I've ever seen, possibly the best, certainly the most emotionally moving. Yorke did have that quality to make grown men cry. Having said that, while I was celebrating this w/e just gone, I think I promised my best mate Chris that I'd go to the Avalon field to catch The Damned's first trip to Glasto.

Could be wrong though.. Radiohead in general.... I love em to be honest, and regarding OK Computer, well I honestly believe that No Surprizes was a difficult song to beat at the time ( maybe NLF did but not much else).. Simple, catchy and beautiful.. It also worked very well for Doves who copied the intro and sped it up for the intro to There Goes The Fear. I can remember once reading Mac saying that he'd swap some of his low range for some of Yorke's top range.. nice compliment. And like, what's wrong with Yorke being a moody sod? It doesn't effect me and my life, although I too can do a superb strop when called upon. I'll be there up front at Glasto this year to see them, miserable bastards or not.. Oh, and The Bends is for sure one of the best rock albums ever, and I would also include Burned up there too. It still doesn't get the recognition it deserves IMHO..

You kidz is > from > Mars or sumthin. I *am* from Mars and have said so. Nah, yr from Texas, which is worse. Don't fancy it. Texas? Me neither. I've met some pretty cool girls there, but the guys are some of the dumbest cats I've ever met in my life. It's all they can do to string ONE word together. But I've only given the album one complete listen, so reserve the right to change my minds. A couple of the songs struck me as sounding best left in the demo bin, and overall the engineering sounds worse than _Candleland_ upon first listen. What does engineering sound like? Is it anything like production? Okay, Chris, here's a question for you (man, I keep typing your name as Christ because of the pattern under my fingers, so if you see that, I'm *not* swearing at you): Nah, ya keep typing Christ cos the universe is trynna give you a big hint. Catch on, girlie! Do you think any of the Radiohead albums are better than _Ocean Rain_? I'm appalled at the thought, but there are at least *two* people who are convinced or somewhat convinced that this is so, and both huge bunnyfans. I think The Bends is the only great Radiohead album, and while it's more consistent than OR, it never reaches the peaks of The Killing Moon, Seven Seas, Ocean Rain, Thorn of Crowns. So, desert-island bound, I'd go with OR, no contest. But, ideally, I'd have 'em both. It's a weird question, though--it's like asking if "Marquee Moon" is better than "The Velvet Underground and Nico." I want'em both. Who sits around trynna answer unnecessary imponderables like that? Just be happy that you've got 'em and get on with it, ya weirdo. (Hugs, kisses, etc.) - -Chris A.
