today, i can't seem to get enough of radiohead. its like the last sip of a canned drink and you can hear it swishing around in there but no matter how you tip the can, you can't get that last sip. frustrating. and it makes you so much more thirsty to know that you can't have it. you don't even need it maybe. but the second you know its there and will never be running down your throat, you need it more than you ever needed anything in your life. i feel that way today. but about radiohead.
yesterday, i couldn't get enough of jonathon richman and the modern lovers' hospital. i listened to that song 113 times yesterday. in just one day, i doubled the playcount on that baby song. something about the way he speeds up when he says "i can't stand what you do/ sometimes i can't stand you/ it makes me think about me/ that i'm involved with you." or the way he admits that although he can't stand her, he needs her because he is in love with her eyes and he knows that without those eyes and without that look, he can't live.
friday, i didn't know what i wanted but nothing i had was right. i think now that had i listened to the band, i would have found what i was looking for. but who knows. maybe i would have turned on the band and just shrugged it aside just like i shrugged aside every other song i listened to. iron and wine. shrug. modest mouse. shruuuuug. bloc party. double shrug. sonic youth. lazy slow shrug. animal collective. shrugshrugshruggityshrug.
how weird is that word shrug.
