Adult life is realizing that an empty evening, a stocked fridge, clean sheets, and nobody asking anything from you can feel wildly luxurious.

Source unknown, but very useful to throw at a lamppost lover.

@TacoMoonDogg @historyrock_ Listen to The Bends my friend, truly and genuinely a great album.... and I'm not a huge fan, I really don't like OK Computer at all & I always thought faux-intellectual's only liked them as a protest against Oasis.

@historyrock_ “Defined the sound of a generation” Must be total hyperbole. These dudes don’t even belong in the Top Ten of the 90s.

Radiohead’s song “Creep” came about almost by accident and ended up defining the sound of an entire generation. It all began in Thom Yorke’s mind when he was a 19-year-old college student at Exeter. He was secretly obsessed with a girl he’d been watching from afar across campus, never daring to speak to her. That mix of admiration, embarrassment, and feelings of inferiority became the raw, honest lyrics of the song: a guy who feels like a “creep” and a “weirdo” in front of someone he considers perfect. During the recording sessions for their first album, Pablo Honey, in 1992, the band didn’t plan to include it. The producers asked them to play something else to test the studio, and Radiohead launched into “Creep” almost as an afterthought. Jonny Greenwood, who hated the song, decided to sabotage it by throwing in those powerful, distorted guitar riffs right before the chorus. Instead of ruining it, the noise gave it character and remained in the final version. The chord progression and part of the melody were inspired by “The Air That I Breathe” by The Hollies, which years later forced the band to give credit and royalties to Albert Hammond and Mike Hazlewood. When it was released as a single in 1992, it was a flop in the UK. The BBC banned it for being “too depressing” and for containing the word “f*ck.” It sold very few copies. But in 1993, it exploded in the United States and the rest of the world, becoming an unexpected anthem of alternative rock and propelling Radiohead to international fame. Paradoxically, the massive success became a burden for the band. It pigeonholed them as “the band behind ‘Creep’” just as they wanted to evolve into more experimental territory. Thom Yorke has confessed that he came to hate it for years. Over time, however, they have accepted it, and it remains the song that connects most deeply with the audience.

@Astro_ChrisW Wow, they're like a close-up of a needle of a record player!

I have been playing around with some long exposure shots that show some beautiful effects with our orbital motion. City lights are turned into streaks across the earth, and lightning storms form a speckled pattern during these several-minute exposures.

@TheExtremeMusi1 Love Spreads, The Stone Roses

Struggling to recall a better comeback single? I think The Verve's "Love Is Noise" is the best one. Perhaps I'm overlooking something obvious.
