I've just had an extraordinary weekend. Every weekend seems extraordinary these days. Every day seems to be. I suspect it's just the age. Terrible things happen. Wonderful things happen. The world spins and we wonder how.
I listened to Radiohead's Moon Shaped Pool this morning on my TV. I'm lisening to OK Computer now in the evening on my laptop. In between I've been to church itself an incredible experience if light and peace to calm a congregation trying to find peace in their own worlds.
I've had a tech mini crisis which has arrived to a satisfying narrayive like a Raymond Carver short story achi eving poetic closure and now I'm sitting here typing this as OK Computer plays and the sunlught shines in refracted patterns through my blinds. They all lived happily ever after.! .
You wouldn't know it listening to Raduihead generally I think Radiohead most of all take the pulse of these last thirty years.Tehey're not my favourite band but you can't help but have the upmost respect for them. They seem to understand the tenor of the times better and more consustently than any other band of these momentous and bewildering tines.
This age of anxiety. These days of miracle and wonder. The times when Andy Warhol fifteen munutes if fame comment surely became reality. 1984. Brave New World 'You watch your feet for the cracks in the pavement,' Uptight! Uptight !
