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.
