down is the new up


There's nothing like a Radiohead show (especially at such a small venue) to give me an injection of creative inspiration and ambition. After last night's show, all I want to do is lock myself in my house with some musical instruments and recording equipment and write, write, write.

Their songs have never sounded better, most likely due to the amazing quality of the sound at the Greek Theatre. They opened with Airbag, then went right into 2+2=5. I wasn't all that excited that we'd get to hear their new music, because usually it takes me a few listens before I fall in love with Radiohead's stuff. But nearly every new song they performed blew me away right off the bat. It's some really amazing stuff that doesn't just amaze the mind -- it stirs your soul. Their genuis runs so deep -- they truly never cease to amaze me with what they come up with. It was all I could do not to hop into my car and follow their tour bus to their next stop.
