A GUN
AND A PACK
OF SANDWICHES
Holly. 15. Britain. Just crossing the line, trying to get back where I was.
The outtakes. The blooper reel. Bands and overemotion. Or, with more honesty: I made a separate blog just to be emo on it.

I miss Thom Yorke before he was a pretentious, self-important twit. This isn’t intended as an attack: I adore Radiohead. I love Thom Yorke’s work, and I loved Thom Yorke, but recently he seems so pseudointellectual and full of himself. It pains me to say it, as Thom’s lyrics were the first thing I could ever relate to regarding a specific flavour of alienation that I assumed for years that I was stuck with alone, just me being overempathetic and overanalysing and unable to measure things against what’s usual these days and unable to get things out of my peripheral vision. But even a fan like me, a walking painful reminder that “fan” is short for “fanatic”, cannot ignore the fact that the esteemed Mr. Yorke has a remarkably big ego. This doesn’t make his music any worse. That doesn’t affect anything about his music or the music of any band he’s in. That doesn’t dent my respect for him. I’m certainly not asking for a return to the days of being unsure if or when he would off himself. Thom Yorke deserves to be proud of being such a good musician and lyricist. I simply wish he’d drop the pseudointellectuality and deflate himself a little. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe I have the wrong perception. Maybe I’m about to lose the friendship of every Radiohead fan I’ve ever known. I absolutely do not mean this as an attack. It’s simply an observation, and a hope.
