Get Me To Oxford Now

.

I know y'all know what a spazz I am, I just thought it'd be fun to share that, after reading this new interview with Radiohead in The New York Times, in which Thom Yorke talks about a pub in Oxford where he does a lot of his writing, I just spent a bunch of time googling said pub and mapping it and looking of pictures of it and daydreaming about going there and sitting at his table and, like, just killing myself on the spot. Here's what Thom said:

Mr. Yorke worked on many of the songs in the Rose and Crown. “I sit there, on the way in, because it’s a really nice little table,” he said, pointing. “And then I get out my scraps of paper and I line them up. I need to put them into my book because they’re just scraps of paper, and I’m going to lose them unless I do it. So am I writing here? Probably. I don’t know yet. I’m just collating information. This is a nice, relaxing thing to do, and it also keeps your mind tuned in to the whole thing. And you see things you didn’t know.”

I will sit at that table before I die, I swear I will.

On a sidenote, I still haven't received my effin' disc-box and... if I don't get it this week... I fear for my mailman's safety.
