Music Mondays: Radiohead’s Nude on Old Hardware

Monday, April 27th, 2009

I’m starting up a new tradition at my personal corner of the interwobs. Every Monday, I will share a bit of music with you that I think you would enjoy. You probably won’t, but that’s because your taste in music is horrid.

Today, we have a cover of the excellent song Nude by Radiohead. What makes this cover interesting is the orchestra. Observe:

It should be noted that the cover doesn’t actually begin until about the 1:10 mark.

If you haven’t listened to In Rainbows about schifty-five million times, then:

  1. You’re missing out
  2. You might want to go listen to this first.

Petrie pwns me

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

My dear friend and co-blagger John Petrie has opened up shop on his own personal website. It can be found here. Add it to your bookmarks, heathens!

In the short time that his blag has been live, Petrie has already surpassed me in post count, which feels me with shame. As mentioned in my previous post, I have been doing a horrible job with this whole relaunch of my site. In less than a month, the content is already stale and boring.

One of my great cruxes is that every time I wish to post something, I always feel like it has to be something phenominal and grandiose. I’ll pour over the words for hours, and once I reach the inevitable point in my draft in which I feel like I cannot properly convey what I am trying to say with the right amount of humor or flourish, I get frustrated and take a break, often never to return. For instance, I have a draft sitting on here that reviews the Watchmen movie. I began that bastard of a post shortly after watching the movie - that was mid March!

So I shall take a note from Petrie. While I’ll still aspire to occasionaly post a work that would be considered an opus by all, I’ll also try to post small simple bits, even if the words are nothing more than “I fucking love me some pie.”

On that note - I fucking love me some pie!

Much apologizes

I am horrible at this whole updating thing. It’s constantly on my mind, I promise you, and the moment I have a few free seconds, I shall make more additions.
