    I honestly think that Arab Strap and Mogwai are the best bands in the UK at the moment. Both Scottish and forever interesting.

      Radiohead

      See!!! I...hwy..Thank you, I fucking concur!Arab Strap are funner and better lyrics..than any fucker, let alone Radiohead.
      And Gwai..somehow I'd still rather see live than Radiohead...Mogwai, are capable of an absolute sonic fucking blistering..holocaustic..turned up beyond 11 attack noise, unlike anything on Earth. It's fucking mind-blowing and beautiful when they Fuckin set phasers to KILL. One HAS to experience it. And their beauty pretty stuff is even prettier and anyway, Thom's fuckin ponytail is, in the end, what sways it to a Mog victory, to me
      All Thom has done for the last fuckin decade+ is make ghost ooOOohhs over skittery epectronica and it's bored the tiddies off of me. Bends, thru InRainbows, sure Radiohead..but fuckin...enough is enough, Atomic Peace bores the Atomic Piss outta me, also.
      Gwai+Strap > Thom's glitchy ghost dancey noodling.
      I refuse to acknowledge or admire, or settle for any middle aged doods on stage with ponytails. I'm sorry, but I just can't
      I also find Sigur Ros and Spiritualized better than Radiohead. I realize I might could very well be facing charges of blasphemy by stati g thus, heretofore; I stand by my statement and shall face whatever penalty I'm dealt for mine and my own sole opinions. A'Good day to you all.

      i know exactly what he means, when you've been out of circulation and out of practice. and he ends the line with a positive too. this was the line which grabbed my attention and hooked me into the song.

    OMG 3 people don't like this song which means they have different taste in music than I do and is fair enough.

    • @brhodes0
      @brhodes0 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Westlake72 that’s a very reasonable viewpoint, sir.

      10 people by now, 4 years later. not too bad a ratio out of 95,000 views tho. this track is completely amazing. i never understand why anybody who doesn't like something continues to watch it, just to downvote it. i mean if you don't like it you know where the off button is. christ! nobody is forcing the haters to finish listening to something they dislike. makes no sense to me, why not find stuff you do like instead.

    “Here, have you tried the blue ones?

    Sleep is not an option tonight”
    Don’t think I can remember a better set of lyrics that take me back to those days.

    @TakeMeWithYer I think the idea was to put across the feel of a typical night out, where the music usually 4 to the floor dance music, I could be wrong though.

    It's just a warped sound. Sounds a bit like Giffnock or Greenock, I guess.
