Listen to Parachutes

I went and saw Sigur Ros last night and the opening band was Parachutes. The singer of Sigur Ros' partner is in the band, they are very good (they are the same genre as Sigur Ros, Icelandic style).

Vow of Silence

For anyone who reads this, I am taking a "vow" of silence (or experimenting with silence) tomorrow (Friday). So if I seem rude, this will be the reason.

Ideas about Language

In my class "Language, Most Dangerous of Possessions" we are speaking about how language contributes largely to our identity. From thinking about this I drew (with my lack of artistic talent) a picture of Elliott Smith (from the portrait of him standing in a black shirt, holding an umbrella), but instead of drawing with lines, I used only lyrics from his songs, album titles, or quotes of his (and once I used his name). I'm positive it won't show up in the picture with how small it will be, but I put a bigger copy up on a link (at the bottom) so hopefully you can click that and zoom up to see some of the letters/words/lyrics/language.

I'm obviously not "showing off" any type of talent in drawing, just a fun idea that I enjoyed bringing to life. I call it: "Elliott Smith, A Man of Many Words"

I just realized

I just realized that my last few posts have been about RADIOHEAD. This one is technically no different, either. However, I will begin to post about normal life soon. Here's a surprising hint (for those who know me), it'll probably be about one of the following things:

Language
The Brain
Psychology
Philosophy
Free Will
or
Music

Maybe I'll throw a curveball. Not likely. I'm not all that interesting lately. Homework, homework, homework.

RADIOHEAD in AUBURN (Corb Watch)

This was probably one of the bigger highlights of the Auburn, WA Radiohead show. I haven't even watched the video yet, but I'm posting it nonetheless.

Funny or Odd Thought

According to the news in Los Angeles, the Radiohead show Paige and I saw at the Hollywood Bowl in LA was also attended by Heather Graham (we saw her), Elijah Wood, Christina Aguilera, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tim Roth, Seth Green, and a few more (we're pretty sure that we saw Jim from The Office).

I don't really know why I'm posting this... other than the fact that I suppose it is cool that the previously mentioned "celebrities" enjoy some good music. I guess I've never been to a show that so many "famous" people have also attended. Weird to think about.
