<PRE>They also make me want to CREATE and be involved and add beauty to the
world: beauty that is AFFIRMATIVE and glorious, and utterly in vain but
so what? Radioheed just sound like they want you to sleep, or write
tenth rate poetry or be 'worthy' or something. Fuck worthy. Radioheed
ooze boredom and B&S ooze humanity. They are a lot sexier too.</PRE>

<P>of course it is all subjective but this is how radiohead make me feel
as well. in fact, though i cherish b&s more, i find radiohead
much more inspirational and b&s have more of the cocooning effects
described above. Radiohead makes me address my adult side that battles
with technology's effect on my career (i do web development and marketing)
and celebrates the utter importance of art as an expression of humanity.
thom yorke is the singer of our times, in my opinion: his voice captures
the essence of our longing to realize the fullness of our souls and aspire
to a higher way of living. for me, b&s are more self-indulgent.
they soothe me and represent the person i've become after years of feeling
different and self-absorbed and self-obssessed. is anyone here familiar
with the enneagram? is it safe to say we are all fours? (the
tragic romantic.) so b&s represent *me* absolutely (i'm 29 so
i've listened to heaps to reach this point, starting with the usual cure,
smiths, etc. at 13), and radiohead represent what i am a part of: western
world humanity.
<P>i'm new by the way (just a few weeks; do be kind to a stranger.
<P>peace,
