A Place for my head » Radiohead http://gnufied.org On Ruby, Rails, Concurrency and fiction Mon, 10 Oct 2011 06:49:31 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Lyrical Whisprings#3 : The BOC perspective http://gnufied.org/2007/11/15/lyrical-whisprings3-the-boc-perspective/ http://gnufied.org/2007/11/15/lyrical-whisprings3-the-boc-perspective/#comments Thu, 15 Nov 2007 22:06:01 +0000 Hemant http://gnufied.org/2007/11/15/lyrical-whisprings3-the-boc-perspective/ I mean and I really mean, these guys are brilliant. I can’t really say, what I like in their music, but all their tunes sound oddly familiar and coming from a distance, like a bazooka from past. I love it, I wish I could do that.

Terrifying thing is, they are not afraid to release their albums in numbers like 100 or even 5. Now, how the hell, a poor guy sitting in India would ever get his hands on something like that. I am yet to see any of their records on a music store shelf.

Here Marcus talks about artists who are too fucking big:

“No. We think they’re brilliant,” Michael demurs. “I think Kid A’s the best thing they’ve ever done,” adds Marcus in his thicker Scots slur.
“Artists whose status is somewhere between Radiohead and God,” answers Marcus, mystifyingly

Above quote is the context, when Marcus criticizes mainstream musicians or rather musicians who make
music based on pop culture. The interviewer prompts,

“Who are these Bigger Guys, Radiohead?”

Needless to say I hate this moron of interviewer.

Then suddenly it came. I am not sure, if i am on the mark:

I am the next act
Waiting in the wings
I am an animal
Trapped in your hot car
I am all the days that you choose to ignore

I think, “I” is not a person, but its your innocence, its your playful spirit, who
has been lost in this material world. I know, you would say,
this theme has been repeated so many times, so
whats new?

Really isn’t it, “The song remains the same!”? True, I love the song.

Another paragraphs is:

I am a moth
Who justs wants to share your light
I am just an insect
Trying to get out of the dark
I will stick with you, because there are no others

Awesome. Is there a hope?
