Radiohead

Went to Asheville NC on Thursday to see some friends. I haven't been everywhere, but if there's another town in America with less than 80,000 people that's more fun, I'd really like to go there.

Then went to Charlotte to hang out with my friends Chris and Miranda and their kids: 3-year old Ethan and 1-year old Madeline.

In the future, anytime I ever think about having kids, I'll try to find my friends with the youngest kids. Ethan and Madeline are awesome, but I've never been around so much snot. And humans who become absolutely ecstatic over throwing things. And I had never really been woken up on consecutive days by a male without pants. Except maybe Greg in college.

We went to see Radiohead on Friday in Charlotte. Booooooooring.

I love Radiohead. At different times in my life I have been obsessed with OK Computer, The Bends, and Kid A. And I think I'm the only person in the world who really loved Amnesiac. They were number 1 on my list of bands I want to see.

They played 24 songs, and the only ones anyone seemed to give a damn about were the 5 or 6 that were released before 2004. I don't think it was coincidence that those were the only songs that contained any discernible melody. Miranda was asleep by about the 9th song (and was completely sober). Sure, Radiohead is interesting and creative and influential blah blah blah barf barf (and the lights were incredible, complete with real lightning going on behind the stage), but god damn their show was boring.
