I feel old:
Radiohead’s “OK Computer” Turns Twenty-Five
It’s possible now to see what the album opened up both for the band and for other ambitious pop and rock acts who would follow.www.newyorker.com
I've been listening to the radio a bit in the car lately and classic rock stations are playing Nirvana and Third Eye Blind which depresses me a bit haha. We listen to BBC 6 a bunch though. Gotta tune into it this weekend.They’ve been celebrating the music of 97 on bbc 6 music the last 2 days in celebration of this anniversary. It made me realise just how much exceptional music came out over here that year.

It's a bit weird with the time difference here because if we put it on at dinner when we're cooking, it's the weird late night DJs (trance or meditative radio) since it's past midnight usually your time.Yeah it’s my alarm clock station and I sometimes have it on in the car lol! Good advert free radio is probably the thing I miss most about the uk, Irish radio is trash.

What do I do, what are you going to do, I don't know what to do
yes, yes, sure.Welp, because I am weak stupid idiot I pre ordered the Smile indie exclusive. It's probably my favorite new album by any band in a very long time so felt like I kinda had to. But of course what this means is you're all fucked because now that I've ordered it, it's a near certainty that the pressing will be an absolute dogs breakfast.
You're welcome.
Also I'm sorry.
