somewhere in between five or six days of complete sleep-deprived lunacy, basically entailing a ridiculous consumption of red bull and diplo, i forgot what day it is: october 10th, right? no, i don’t even give a shit about this election today, because i’m pretty sure that i lost my documents proving my residence in toronto sometime during the process of obtaining a library card, so i can’t even vote; but i’ll get right to the point because it it 6:14 am and i would like to squeeze my eyes shut for at least two hours tonight–radiohead. in rainbows. download available. today.

g appeared, at my door, and after a few minutes of shitting and fucking and william h. macying my failure in regards to the situation, i had it. i’ve got it. i’ve listened, at least twice. i can’t really tell you too much: it’s at times ‘embarassingly minimalistic’ (their words, not mine, but i wish they were), and totally haunting. not quite ok computer, but not far off either–it’s like a moment of clarity, that spooky realization that your whole life has been a distraction from something of epic importance, but, now, unfortunately, it’s far too late to remedy this. the first and last tracks, 15 step and videotape, respectively, are stark opposites of one another, flanking the record in a sort of bi-polar hysteria. at first we’re assaulted and then left totally hopeless. you’re following me with this, right?

anyways. give it a go; and we’ll all work out this mess in the morning.
