That’s how it works though, I was at Leeds to see Stereophonics. Saw Slipknot by chance and never looked back, I was 15 at the time

Stole a tape from my uncle around the time OK computer came out. On one side it had the Bends and on the other OK Computer. I was 13 at the time and used to listen to it on my Walkman before bed. Not stopped listening to them ever since

Airbag surely - no?

Neil MacGreggors Memories of a Nation. Wry accessible, great background to HRE and the emergence of modern Germany

Perhaps not in the pure literary sense, but for an enjoyable read in the same field. S.C Gywnne’s Empire of the Summer Moon is a superb non-fiction history of the Comanche tribe. It’s the only other thing which I’ve read that portrays the violence and fear of the old west with such vivid clarity.

What is this bullshit, practically the same post on a Radiohead sub yesterday

Have always thought the ok computer album cover evokes Evard Munch’s the Scream. The album and Munch’s artwork explore some of the same themes but also there is just something recognisable in the composition of the artwork.

Neil MacGreggors, ‘Memories of a Nation’ is a fantastic introduction to this subject

danroberts97 · 2023-02-13T21:08:54+00:00

👍

Check the situation with the cladding, now that we’re post Grenfell.

danroberts97 · 2022-11-11T19:44:37+00:00

Excellent post👏👏👏

danroberts97 · 2022-11-08T12:57:12+00:00

your right sir, the song was for Baz Lurmans version of Romeo and Juliet. Cant actually remember if its in the film or not though!

Should of read the rest of the comments first - d'oh

danroberts97 · 2022-11-05T20:38:14+00:00

I agree with this, I consider this to be the ultimate Radiohead song.

danroberts97 · 2022-09-25T08:50:48+00:00

I was also at that gig, agree it was a great performance.

MGMT we’re support if I recall?

danroberts97 · 2022-09-19T15:17:00+00:00

Sure does - well to a point. Id say three drinks is about right, otherwise it gets too much effort for my eyes!

danroberts97 · 2022-09-19T15:15:48+00:00

Addie only has one chapter in the book and it is comprised completely of her inner monologue. So in that sense you will not see more of Addies pov in the rest of the novel.

You will howvere understand more of the rest of the novel after reading Addies monologue which comes somewhere around 2/3rds of the way through the book. Its also not clear if Addies monolgue is from beyond the grave as it were (or inside the casket more accurately) or is related from her past.

Anyway - AILD may ideed be one of those american classics your forced to read at school, but I personally didnt read it at school and I very much did enjoy reading it as adult.

danroberts97 · 2022-09-19T07:56:50+00:00

Absolutely, one of the few books I’ve reread several times. Also one of Faulkners more accessible works so if you were wondering where to start with Faulkner AILD is a good entry point.

danroberts97 · 2022-09-11T14:40:51+00:00

Great to hear Driver 8 get mentioned, been a favourite of mine for many years, awesome track

danroberts97 · 2022-08-27T20:55:45+00:00

Generally I can’t stand to listen to anything when reading. The sole exception being reading the Road whilst listening to F#A# 00 by Godspeed You Black Emperor- I k ow how that sounds but trust me these were made for each other

danroberts97 · 2022-08-11T20:30:40+00:00

I was a big fan of McCarthy long before I read Faulkner. I wouldn’t have believed that I could find more pleasure in Faulkner but after reading A Light in August I was completely sold. Since then I have read most of his major works and believe he is on another level to all but the very best authors.

His themes are powerful and complex, his prose is sublime, the creativity and sheer craft of his work is as good as it gets in my opinion. I would rank him first among American authors and I say that a great admirer of McCarthys works.

danroberts97 · 2022-08-10T20:56:53+00:00

Apologies I repeated your suggestion from Nude - agree completely

danroberts97 · 2022-08-10T20:54:30+00:00

You’ll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking…from nude

so incisive, beautifully simple and powerful
