Random Musings About a Movie Soundtrack

It has been well established that Radiohead is one of my favorite bands.  But for a while now, when I hear one song of their's in particular, I always imagine it being used during the opening credits of a movie.  That song would be "Planet Telex," the opening track off of their second album entitled The Bends.

Now hear me out.  Imagine some indie movie about a dude.  Very descriptive, I know.  After finishing the prologue, the screen segues to black.  After a few seconds, an alarm clock goes off.  The screen shows the alarm on his nightstand, followed by a hand slamming down on the alarm to turn it off.  The instant the hand turns off the alarm, the song begins to play.  While it's playing, a montage of previously referenced dude going through his morning ritual to prepare for work begins.  He brushes his teeth, showers, eats, shaves, etc.  

After showing him driving, he enters the office he works at, the office he desperately wants to escape because he feels that there has to be something more to life than this mundane job he must experience day-in and day-out, as the narrator explains.  The song fades as his boss approaches him.

....And scene.

It's perfect.  Some Indie Movie About a Dude is Academy Award winning stuff.  

I think I need to seek a profession as a screen writer.  I actually have a few decent ideas that I think could work as movies.  Maybe one day on here I could share one with you, my beloved audience.  But I don't want to make that promise.

And if I ever see this happen without some sort of compensation coming my way, someone's getting sued.  

Until next time, this has been Random Musings.

Random Musings About a Bathroom Door

Since I was in the first grade and was first exposed to Pokémon, I have always felt that a portion of the wood pattern on the my bathroom door has looked like the Pokémon Grimer.  I've never shared this random tidbit with anyone.  At the same time, it does seem like something that would be difficult to work into a conversation, even when someone would be over my house, without being awkward and forced.

Anyways I saw it today and thought "Why not post it to the blog?"  So that's what I'm doing.

What do you think?  Yes?  No?  Am I just grasping at topics for posts because I enjoy seeing the post count go up?  Is anyone actually reading this?

And you know what else just occurred to me?  In none of the eleven posts since the comeback have I posted any music.  I've been on yet another Radiohead kick lately, and this song has been popping up on my iPod a lot the last few days.

I'm done now.  I swear.

Your Call is Important to Us

     I don't know how many people actually read any of the stuff I post on here (if you do, please comment and tell me what you think!!  I would really appreciate some feedback!), but my one confirmed reader (who apparently has this blog set as his homepage), asked me to type into Google "the sky tonight was inspiring" and post the first result here.  Well my friend, today is your luck day.  I have no idea what exactly I'm looking at in this link, but hopefully the information within will become useful in a key situation.

But probably not.

      Like I mentioned, as far as I know, the only people reading this blog are those that my anonymous "benefactor" has tipped off to its existence.  I have no idea how many people this entails, but if I am going to continue to allow myself to suffer through these posts, I would like to know what my viewership thinks.  I apologize to anyone that read my first few introductory posts due to their absurd length.  I wanted to give a brief introductory to myself to allow you (my adoring fan base) to have an idea of what to expect within.  So much for being brief.  I therefore promise that none of my future posts will drown you with words.  They might contain a lot of pictures or videos, but I feel that some posts would not be as effective in presenting the material without them.  If it's too much, let me know.  Lastly, I'd like to know what you think of my writing style.  I'm my own worst critic, and therefore can only find fault with everything I write, so any suggestions or comments are appreciated.  Otherwise, I have to assume this is what K-Squared look like at peak hours:

Hello?  Anyone?  Please?

I Wanna Be Wanna Be Wanna Be Jim Morrison

     Me too, Thom Yorke.  Me too.  Anyway, I haven't made any posts exclusively regarding a song or music in general, so I thought this would be a good way to stat and hopefully introduce my audience to some music that is hopefully new.  Today's song is "Anyone Can Play Guitar" by Radiohead. This song comes from their first album, titled Pablo Honey, which has a grungey, Nirvana-esque feel to it, and as a result doesn't sound a whole lot like their later, more well known albums such as The Bends and OK Computer.  It's basically a straight forward rock album , but that's not necessarily a bad thing.  While none of the songs are as classic as anything Radiohead released later on (save "Creep"), the album still has some decent/good material and is definitely still worth a listen to appreciate where the band started out.

     But I'm starting to ramble.  "Anyone Can Play Guitar" has been showing up on my shuffle in iTunes a lot lately, so I figured it was worth sharing.  Enjoy.
