That song, I would still say, is uncanny when I listen to it. It would be hard to recreate that. I’ve seen them play it now a couple of times. It wasn’t that powerful. It was like, “OK, I like that song,” and it moves on.
uncanny, as in , hard to characterize or understand, extraordinary. he's saying the song is a great song, something about it that he can't explain speaks to him, and it didn't translate live. that je ne sais quoi just wasn't there in the live setting. he even explains that whatever it is about that song, would be hard to recreate live. i wouldn't call that shizting on radiohead, I would call that explaining more detail about your favorite radiohead song.
I didn’t like them back when they first got big. I saw them just before OK Computer. They struck me the way a lot of British bands will when they do a tour of America. They’re very professional, they do their thing, the lights are all on cue, but it seems very much like “We’re playing 100 shows and that was number 80.” Not that it wasn’t good, there’s no…we’ve played with a lot of British bands that have that thing about them. I think it’s part of the British musician. Put your head down, do this. I thought it was boring. I stood on my feet at the end of it and said, “You’ve gotta play ‘Creep!’ You can’t just not play ‘Creep’ just because everyone likes the song.” That’s just me being smarmy.
I get how this could be construed as "shizting" on them, but when he folows that up later with
It was literally one of the greatest shows we’ve seen.
I think it could just as easily be read as him saying "ya know, I didn't dig their live show when I first saw it, but holy shit my perspective has changed."
They’re still weird. They’re not the approachable guys, not like freaks hanging out. But, hey, that’s what you’d expect from them.
eh, this seems like a pretty apt description of radiohead's reputation in the music industry, doncha think? and he passing judgement about that, saying thats uncool or something (see: miley, lily allen, kanye, etc...)
Also full disclosure I have little to no patience for Wayne Coyne these days. That definitely factored into my reading of it.

I never went on a crazy spring break in college and don't regret it one bit. It always struck me as a giant pain in the ass. One year I did go to a conference in New York. That was fun.
Word to this. Lots of my friends did them, but I just didn't see the appeal/think it was worth the money. And no regrets on skipping out on those spraaaaang breakz
I only participated in Spring Break once. I guess because my whole life has had Mardi Gras, it always seemed like a waste to leave the city. Oh and Spraaaang Breakz foreva! I love that stupid movie.
Let's put it this way: Dumb and Dumber was incredibly stupid, but it's not near the worst movies of all time. A movie where you can shut your brain off for two hours or so doesn't make it among the worst ever made.
When I was in college, Greek organizations didn't seem to be all that popular. There were three fraternities and three sororities, and the active membership couldn't have been much higher than a couple dozen in each. None had official houses, on campus or off. One of the frats, by 2006, was boasting of it's no pledging policy - meaning joining their ranks was more like applying for a job.
With three fraternities and three sororities, there seemed to be a tiered system as to who joined what: the preppy one, the average one, and the one of those seemingly outcasts.
The only time I ever seriously considered joining one, was when I caught the feels for a sorority girl.
I can't imagine how miserable doing my taxes would be if I actually had investments, businesses, etc.
One of my co-workers has rental properties, a second job selling real estate and a few other wrinkles to her taxes. The way she describes even getting them done with an accountant is the stuff of nightmares.
Normally I'd shame anyone for putting steak sauce on a steak, but in the case of a well done steak, that might be your only hope.
People who order their steak well done disappoint me.
I ordered a steak well-done once... when I was like 7. My logic being that "well-done" meant "good" in other contexts, so why wouldn't I want a good steak? Suffice it to say, I was very disappointed.
The only time I've used steak sauce since childhood was to mask the taste of mediocre cafeteria meat in high school.
The Gaye family wants to block sales of Blurred Lines until a financial arrangement can be agreed to. Can't we just stop it because it's rapey and creepy?

I was listening to Caribou's Essential Mix on the way to work this morning. One of the tracks in it has lyrics "You can't say that I didn't try. You can't say that I did not try." Despite them being the same thing grammatically, the former seems right while the latter seems to be wrong in my head.

I think they should have turned the second "can't" into "can not" since they changed "didn't" to "did not."
I don't know the song, though. So maybe it wouldn't have worked.

I looked it up because I'm bored (and the song is fantastic).

Steak sauce is wonderful, just not on steak. A burger with steak sauce and sauteed mushrooms is divine. Also, steak sauce is fantastic on mashed potatoes.

As long as you're not ruining the steak!
I know of a BBQ place around here that has no sauce. If you ask for it, they will give you dirty looks. I agree that good brisket shouldn't need BBQ sauce, but I do like to dip my bread or sausage into the sauce from time to time. Provided it's more of a vinegar based sauce, and not some sweet ketchupy style sauce. Fuck that shit.
God, I want some good 'ole Texas brisket now. Think that might be my first meal once I'm off this job (tomorrow!).
