Standing In The Shadows At The End Of My Bed

I’m very excited to be seeing Radiohead tonight. I’m sure that they will be fantastic no matter what (this will be my eighth Radiohead show and they’ve never let me down), the only thing is that I really hope is that between two shows, they get around to playing these two songs, which are both very dear to me.

Radiohead “Kid A” (live in Boston, 2003)

Radiohead “Backdrifts” (live in Boston, 2003)

C’mon, Radiohead. Play “Kid A” at Madison Square Garden! I’m probably the only person on earth whose favorite Radiohead song is “Kid A.” Humor me.

I’m kind of amazed that my throwaway comment about the Silver Jews elicited so many strident replies. Didn’t any of you have an opinion about the Squeeze songs? I was so excited to post those songs, and it seems like no one really cared. The world truly is cruel if David Berman can inspire such passion, while Difford & Tilbrook garner little more than benign indifference.
