thinking. or not.

so i was sick all week, which somehow gave me time to think. and i thought a lot about music and creativity and life and the big ideas. but it was probably all as useless as those deep thoughts i once had under the influence. magnificent at the time, but inane when things were back to normal.

the useful thing i did was make a playlist and cd of the newest radiohead songs, the ones people THINK will be on the 7th album. even if they are not, i'm having a great time listening to the "new" radiohead album.

and liars. ever heard of liars? i don't know anything about them. didn't read up on them. but i listen to their album, "drum's not dead" a lot. it's vaguely tecno, good drums, strange lyrics. a nice departure from anything else.

on itunes right now: it was "a visit from drum" from the aforementioned album, but now it's "ocean breathes salty" from modest mouse.

what would life be without music? not life. that's what.

You probably knew this, but it's a vocab term that comes up in To Kill a Mockingbird--to be "hipped" on something is to be obsessed. Isn't that cool? I think you're hipped on Radiohead. You're also hip to Radiohead, so there you go.

I'm hipped on getting some good, solid rest. School is good, but I am fagged.

Have you seen The History Boys? It is great and well worth renting.
