Music Week! Day 2

Songs I rocked out to whilst getting ready this morning: Blur, Country House and Charmless Man

He's got morning glory, life's a different story

Everything going jackanory, in touch with his own mortality

He's reading Balzac, knocking back prozac

It's a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland...

Charmless Man, in particular, is just such awesome pop music. Hooky buzzsaw guitars and a "na na na na na" chorus.

Additional Music Week content: I don't get Radiohead. I never have. I mean, Creep was pretty good, if ultimately disposable, and that song about the plastic trees is fine in a nineties kind of way...but otherwise? I don't get it. And people I like and respect and who have opinions that I value and all that really, really love this band. And to me, that's like saying your favorite band is Throbbing Gristle or Einstuerzende Neubauten. Yeah, they're interesting. But are they listenable? Can you put it on in the car when you're heading out on a spring day for some serious interstate driving? But maybe I'm just exposing my own ignorance here.

Addendum: In the interest of giving the opposing party equal time, check out the comments for a spirited Radiohead defense from Trish, my landlord here at fukushu.com. Hey Trish! Love you! Mean it! Kisses!

And Also: Damon Albarn is a good-looking Englishman in the video for Country House, isn't he? I'd make out with him a little bit. Just over the clothes stuff, though. I'm not a slut.
