At a point in one young man's life they purchase Radiohead's "Best Of" album and I feel like that's the worst way to experience Radiohead because albums are whole pieces meant to be experienced sequentially all in one go, usually, typically. A "Best Of" album is all of the better tracks but taken out of context of the larger album. And these are all "Sad White Boy" tracks which I listened to while being a Sad White Boy and driving around the suburbs of Kansas City in a post college Early To Mid 20's Malaise.
A Malaise I find myself coming back to today, for no particular reason other than I'm hungover and I woke up late, I feel empty after a weekend of meeting and talking with people. I hate how "No Surprises" makes me feel. I didn't grow up in Britain during the 80's and I didn't get a chance to listen to OK Computer in full until much later.
So The emptiness I feel seems kind of stupid. I keep cleaning my room and trying to clear space so I have more floor space to move around it, but it requires rearranging so much stuff that I run out of energy for it soon after. So you're just kind of shuffling crap around hoping that eventually things find a place and you can unpack whatever. Sigh.
