We all know Radiohead is one of my favorite bands of all time. And their song let down is one of my favorite songs of all time. My own little treasure. Perfection, from a perfect record. It belongs to me and no one else.

So imagine my utter disgust when I learned tonight that it has become a new hit, making it onto the stupid billboard top 100, nearly 30 years after its release. and do you know why?

Do you know why????

BECAUSE OF TIK TOK.

These gd bastards. I used to get mad about my beloved songs being in commercials. That seems quaint now. Charming even.

Not tik tok. NOT TIK TOK. not like this.

Lousy kids. stay away from my let down. Stay away! You don’t know what it means you don’t understand it you ?leave it alone. Leave it alone.

Because of this sudden popularity, tho, I’m seeing live performances of Radiohead ?all over instagram now, and that I don’t mind. late 90s early 2000 Radiohead? Sir please may I have some more.

If I had a time machine, forget going back to kill hitler or trump or whatever. I would go back to 1999, maybe 2001, and find thom yorke. That was peak sexy. Absolute peak. what I would do for an hour with him (back then).

I guess the other positive is they announced a new mini tour. In Europe of course. But if they came to the US, I don’t know if I could go. They are all old and gross. It’s hard to see. Especially because that means that I am old and gross.

Why does tik tok have to ruin everything.


Dear Banff

You were incredible. I did not feel like I was in a real place. I loved every second of you.

Your glacier lakes are otherworldly. Thank you giving me the best weather: cool, rainy, with these foggy mornings, eerie and mysterious.

And then giving us the sun and warmer temps as the day went on, yet never being too bright or too hot.

Your mountains. Amazing. Your lake waters. Absurd. Your clean crisp clear air. ridiculous.

The view from our room at the chateau was perfect.

Remember how we laughed at how my toe color perfectly matched that intense turquoise water of your Lake Louise?

Toe color and the lake

I think canoeing at Moraine Lake was one of my favorite parts. I’ll never forget it. It was so soothing and so majestic. You said I did a great job at canoe.

Your little mountain town was full of tourists but that was ok, it was not annoying it was charming. You have a very European flavor. sorry. Flavour. (When in Rome right.)

I feel lucky to have been able to visit you.

I was sad to leave. I will miss you. But time to move on and make new memories. Where is the next adventure?

Deafened by the fray

I think I will have found my perfect mate when I find someone who:

  • Loved sinners as much as me. I didn’t just love this movie. it is a revelation.
  • Deeply, profoundly affected by these two songs:

    • https://youtu.be/LkAvm9-2jGQ?si=NDhB8YWe3fV6pj7S
  • Bob’s burgers
  • Sleep in separate beds in separate rooms in separate houses, maybe even separate cities/states

I wish I was joking. Those four requirements. You’d think it was simple. Easy. But it’s not.

And what do I have to offer? Why nothing less than the AP. And the BJ. and the CMYK.


May-December romance

I know what a May-December romance is, but I was kind of curious as to the origin of it. I didn’t really determine that, but on one of the sites I was reading, it had other suggested articles that I might be interested in.

Stories such as:

  • How to tell if your girlfriend is horny
  • How to kiss
  • How to turn on a guy
  • How to impress a girl with words
  • What are the bases in a relationship? Defining the baseball-sex metaphor
  • And maybe my favorite? Compliment a guy’s manhood: 14 sexy compliments (one of them is “that is dense” lol)

The list goes on and on. I read them of course. I mean, who doesn’t want to know the eleven steps to convince your girlfriend to send pictures?

The illustrations were great too.
