OK, despite the fact I'm drunk, I still can spell correctly, thus making the title of this thread a bit stupid. Yes, I'm still gramatically anal when I'm wasted. Perhaps I'm just not wasted enough. The US doesn't have Kronenbourg 1664, which is a shame because it would make you see what lager is supposed to taste like, and also a good thing because some manufacturer would get their hands on it and water it down aka Budwaster. But, quite simply, it's the best lager I've had, and I've had lots. And it's French; I thought they were supposed to be winemakers? Good for them...
Camden on Friday isn't nearly as fun as Camden on a Sunday. Wagamama still tastes great though...best restaurant ever. I talked to someone about the Boo Radleys but I can't remember his name. If anyone out there is a single guy around my age, Emma's best friend is a lovely girl, but be warned: she's indier than you...and she plays guitar...and don't get her started on Kristin Hersh or Dinosaur Jr unless you love them half as much as she does...she's incredibly lovely.
It's interesting in that other thread about Radiohead that Sybil thought they were a watered down Pink Floyd. I never thought of that, but I can say after listening to both band for lots of years, I can say there are some striking similarities. Guitar tones especially. Radiohead uses quite subdued tones, esp on these later albums (In Rainbows especially) that are pretty much David Gilmour's bread and butter. But as far as I can tell, that's where the similarities end. I just think their approach to music is really different (Pink Floyd more about the overall story and direction whereas Radiohead are more about sound exploration, esp Kid A forward). I suppose there's probably a bit more similarity with the Syd era stuff, as far as experimental stuff goes. I love both bands though. Still, I've seen Radiohead on three continents, and they are, easily, the best live band I've ever seen. Ever. If I get to see Led Zepplin next month that might change my mind, but so far, nobody else comes close. And I've seen Pink Floyd four times. Still, not close.
Smoking ban rules, I don't care if it's not really what everyone wants.
