[0002] i'm not here, this isn't happening
Feeling a little aimless today. It's still early in my week off, but my aunts are back in town to visit again tomorrow (just as we enter a public health state of emergency lolololol), so I expect the rest of it to evaporate in a puff of smoke, sigh. Family!
Lovely rainy weather throughout, at least. I'm sad that summer is over, but this is nice, too. It'll be winter before I know it, so I will enjoy the liquid sky water for as long as it wants to stay.
Wikipedia Sez: Kid A is the fourth studio album by the English rock band Radiohead, released on 2 October 2000 by Parlophone. It was recorded with producer Nigel Godrich in Paris, Copenhagen, Gloucestershire and their hometown Oxford, England. After the stress of promoting Radiohead's acclaimed 1997 album OK Computer, songwriter Thom Yorke wanted to diverge from rock music. Drawing influence from electronic music, ambient music, krautrock, jazz, and 20th-century classical music, Radiohead used instruments such as modular synthesisers, ondes Martenot, brass and strings. They processed guitar sounds, incorporated samples and loops, and manipulated their recordings with software such as Pro Tools and Cubase. Yorke wrote less personal lyrics, cutting up words and phrases and assembling them at random. Radiohead considered releasing the material as a double album, but decided it was too dense; a second album of material from the sessions, Amnesiac, was released eight months later.
Prior Familiarity: Shockingly low! By the time I got interested in Radiohead, it was square in the 'their older stuff was better' era, so I never really felt a need to bother looking further than OK Computer?
What I Did While Listening: Downloaded comics, and since I went real ham on the latest Comixology Red Sonja sale, there were a LOT, so it was a very repetitive task and I was really able to focus on what I was listening to, which was nice.
Verdict: Not bad! I regret not giving it a chance when I was a tiny impressionable youth! I could have really gotten into this pretentious shit!
Favourite Song: The National Anthem. Idioteque also makes the playlist.
