Deep.......breath. Calm. ADRENALINE! ADRENALINE! No, calm. Come on, now. Calm. EXCITEMENT! ONLY NINE DAYS! No. Caaaaaaaaaalm. Calm. Calm. There, I think that's done it.
The new Radiohead album, 'In Rainbows', will be available to download on October 10th and I can't wait. The songs I have heard so far (on badly recorded YouTube videos of Radiohead gigs) are amazing, and I can't wait to hear the finished product. The only problem I now have is that I had just got myself into a song-writing mindset and was ready to embark upon some Bob Dylan/Leonard Cohen-esque acoustic material, but now the Radiohead album is going to mess with my head. I'm not disciplined enough to be able to listen to a (presumably) ground-breaking new album and not want to copy it. Oh, that reminds me of something.
Whilst on a wild goose chase with the drummer and guitarist from my band, I came up with an idea for the artwork and title of our next album. The cover photograph would feature the four members of the band, standing in a desolate, brown, arid field, each with our instrument slung over our back (or perhaps a pair of drumsticks in the pocket of the drummer). Each of us would be poised with a different tool: a pitchfork, a hoe, a shovel, a pickaxe. The lonely, rural dusk of the setting would be juxtaposed against our arrogant, indie stares as the diminutive, superimposed, hand-scrawled title in the bottom right of the picture read: "GROUNDBREAKING". Needless to say, I was voted down on this one.
