...learnt these things about music and films:

...finding out that Metallica are actually alright
...concluding that Hail To The Thief is amazing
...concluding that Amnesiac isn't
...been amazed that The Dawson can act
...not been amazed that Revolutions was terrible
...wishing I was as smooth as Clooney after seeing Intolerable Cruelty
...wanting to and failing to play Layla
...getting into a fight over which is better, Igby Goes Down or Donnie Darko
...knowing I was right that Igby is better
...concluding that Mad World deserves to be No 1
...yelling at every DJ who loops I Believe In A Thing Called Love
...hearing Pantera and deciding they aren't all that
...hearing Pearl Jam and deciding they are all that
...being surprised to discover that I don't like Nirvana all that much anymore
...buying The Masterplan by Oasis and deciding Acquiese is the best B-Side I've heard since Talk Show Host
...deciding that Fake Plastic Trees is my favourite Radiohead song
...being appalled that REM didn't include the End Of The World As We Know It and Shiny Happy People on the greatest hits
...buying it anyway
...thanked the lord I'm not Axl Rose

That is all, because I'm back now.

What course are you on Stryke?

I'm currently getting acceptances back from Uni. At the moment my first choice is either Film Studies or Film Studies and Creative Arts at Portsmouth.

Was going to buy Igby Goes Down today on ex-rental for £9.99 but because Jesus' brithday's coming up I have no money.

It was hilarious what happened at uni on wednesday.

Our lecturer for macromolecules gave us about 25 sample questions that may be in the exam, so i learnt 6 of them (most of them are repeated every year), but when i looked at the questions in the exam paper, only 1 of the questions was in it.

Boy, was i laughing that day...

I'm doing Biology, but my choice of modules means I'm basically doing an Ecology degree. Which suits me fine, it's just as good. I do spend most of my time in labs/lectures/doing essays, but it's fun. No, really, I like work. Check it out.

And I have enough of student loan left to buy DVDs. Bonus.

Hail to the Thief amasing?

Ok Computer/The Bends wipes the floor with it

Amnesiac does suck, although I like Pyramid Song, I might be Wrong and Knives Out.

I'm a new Radiohead fan, but I prefer Hail to the Thief to OK Computer, possibly because I don't rate Paranoid Android. The Bends is my favourite one, though. It's all about Trees, Street Spirit and Just.

I think I'll remix Like I Love YOu so when Justin says "Drums", the intro of There There comes on. Plan.

Glad you finally found that out!

> ...not been amazed that Revolutions was terrible
I'm going to keep deluding myself it was wonderful. I have a totally different movie in my head you see.

You mean you aren't?! Just me then?

Don't we all.

I now hate them having endured a friend's scary obsession with them.

End Of The World... was my favourite REM song. What a shame they didn't include it.
> ...thanked the lord I'm not Axl Rose
Wouldn't want to be him now. But Axl Rose circa 1990 had a lot going for him.

What you need to do is to listen to OK computer about 10 times in a couple of days then u'll realise that not only is paranoid android the song made of dreams but also that Let Down and Exit Music are the two greatest songs ever created, plus u'll know OK computer is the greatest album ever made.

I have listened to it a lot. And The Bends/Hail To The Thief are better, in my opinion. Doesn't mean I'm right. Each to their own.

Anyway, my favourite album of all time is either August & Everything After by the Counting Crows, or (Whats The Story) Morning Glory by Oasis.
