Back in the days when Radiohead really used to rock out.
The band struts it well on this live performance on Jay Leno's show and your author turns it up loud to drown out the incessant bullshit coming from the mouths of Peru's candidates. Ten days and there'll only be two voices left....can't come soon enough.
Meanwhile, a Friday OT extra as the person who took this video just days ago shares vacation fun time.
The routine-jarring newsflow out of Japan has taken the wind out of my sails today, to be frank. However, by some quirk of fortune one of the new Radiohead album tracks, named Codex, manages to evoke the day and captures far more than just a few bars of music and a bunch of lyrics. Utterly, utterly sublime music that is sad and uplifting at once.
Here are the words. I hope you listen to them. Best wishes to Japan on a very difficult day for the country.
Sleight of hand, Jump off the end. Into a clear lake, No one around.
Just dragonflies, Flying to the side. No one gets hurt, You've done nothing wrong.
Slide your hand, Jump off the end. The water's clear and innocent. The water's clear and innocent.
