Thank you, Utter Wonder

Right now I am wondering if it is possible to die from soreness. Instead of talking about the circumstances behind that, though, I will quote this thing that made me laugh like a thing that laughs all the time. Why you should own every Radiohead album:

5. Radiohead, "Hail To The Thief"

If you want to have a sophisticated and trendy CD collection you can't afford not to have every Radiohead album. I've actually listened to a song on this CD more than a few times (the single "There, There") which thankfully is similar to a lot of the music from their earlier pre-oh-my-god-they-have-become-too-self-important-for-their-own-good period. Unfortunately, everything else on the album sounds like their oh-my-god-they-have-become-too-self-important-for-their-own-good period. Still, if you have one Radiohead CD, you have to have them all. Otherwise some Radiohead snob will notice you're a few CDs short and they'll jump all over you about it and call you lame for liking "Creep," which to them is easily the band's least important and lamest record, and then you'll say "But 'Fake Plastic Trees' is actually my favorite Radiohead song" and they'll be all like "What? You see the pretty video for it on lame MTV and fell in love with the record's lamosity?" and then you'll be like "Lamosity isn't a word" and they'd be like "Shut up, Lamey McLame! Go buy 'Kid A' and get me some chips on the way back! I'm hungry!" So you go buy the CD and then stop off at the market and they're like twenty-seven different kinds of chips and you're not sure which ones the Radiohead snob won't find lame, so you get all huffy trying to decide which chips to buy and you think of the Radiohead snob back at your house shuffling through your CDs, hungry for chips and ready to tell you just why your entire CD collection so incredibly lametastic...yeah, I just don't need that kind of aggravation; hence that's why I own every Radiohead CD.

Hey...

So, I didn't realize that slackjaw did a cover of bjork's hyperballad. Do you happen to have this at all? I'm hearing stuff by slackjaw right now that I've yet to hear, but I haven't heard all of a " sinking ship needs company" And I've missed a couple tracks off of " buoyancy vs. gravity" If you have them, let me know, Im trying to get a complete collection going

thanks,

jesse

You need some Slackjaw, eh?

I have almost every Slackjaw release I know about. I've got that Bjork cover. It appeared one one release only, I think, and that's the 2002 tour-only CD. I've got all their full lengths and almost all the compilations they appear on. I also have two of the 7" singles.

The only things I don't have are the Songs About Drinking compilation and "Lunchbucket '94", whatever that is.
