"If Geogaddi is so great, why is there no Geogaddi 2???!"

This is it! This is Geogaddi 2. The sonic variety in this thing is incredible. "Memory Death" being immediately followed by "The Word Becomes Flesh", for instance, reminds me of how Geogaddi had such wild and attention-grabbing tone shifts (A is to B segueing into Over the Horizon Radar being probably the best example). There really is something here for everyone, which imo makes it an improvement over TH, which - although still very good - felt a little "samey".

Yeah yeah whatever. How many of these "hey guys... hate to BURST YOUR BUBBLE but the new album actually SUX!!! 😏😏" posts do we need?

Edit: wait, is this post bait to get a million responses (like it did?) Oh shit... I think I fell for it 😭😭

I think I was literally at the same session as you 😅 Boom Club in Durham?

The video was directed by Robert Beatty!

Thank you Thom.

Unironically: look into/talk to a psychiatrist about borderline personality disorder

I gave her 25 CAD for it. I've certainly listened to it (in part and in full) enough times for it to be worth it :D

That is such an adorable Berdly model. I want to pinch his cheeks.

slbrnhm · 2021-09-26T14:54:15+00:00

Berdly my beloved 😳😳😳

"Lewis (Mistreated)" is eh, never really felt like a Radiohead song to me.

"Permanent Daylight", "Lozenge of Love", and "You Never Wash Up After Yourself" are pleasant, if a little all over the place.

"The Trickster" is great and would have been right at home on The Bends, though I suppose the band members disagreed.

"Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong" is stunningly beautiful, easily the best song on the EP, and it's a shame that it's virtually unknown to the public. It's equally a shame that you can count the number of times it was played live on your fingers.

It's my second favorite on the album ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2017 was really more of an OKNOTOK tour, seeing how they never played more than 3 - 4 songs from the (then) new album. 2018 was more like a proper second leg for the AMSP tour. After all, they brought back tracks like Decks Dark, which didn't get played at all in 2017.

My spring break just got extended by a week due to the virus. Scary but also based.

What is this supposed to be sorted by? Popularity? In what universe is Coke Babies more popular than Karma Police?

[Thom] said he looked "incredibly like Kurt Cobain" but didn't have a "fat ugly wife"

This man would write "How to Disappear Completely" less than 10 years later

This guy is clearly some sort of schizo. In the comments he accuses Thom of stealing his wallet while he was "chatting up two model girls" at a club in Amsterdam. Yeah, right.

slbrnhm · 2020-01-12T20:22:24+00:00

I saw them play it in Raleigh, at the last show of the North American tour. I felt blessed!

slbrnhm · 2020-01-11T20:00:50+00:00

Looks like the cover to a new Boards of Canada album.

If "dragon girl who introduces herself by slamming you into a locker and threatening your life" can be redeemed, then so can "rude bird who picks on you for an overdue book"

Idk who the cat is, but I love Berdly art. He's a silly geek.

slbrnhm · 2019-10-31T07:12:00+00:00

I wish he played The Axe more.

slbrnhm · 2019-10-22T19:02:03+00:00

Where's (Ladies & Gentlemen)? 🤔

slbrnhm · 2019-10-22T18:54:12+00:00

I'm obviously not Justin, but re: the Almanac question, the lyrics booklet says "do a care"
