I know you might find this difficult to believe, but sometimes I blog for myself. Just for me! Like, I know - blogging as some sort of hall-of-mirrors self-circle-jerk ouroboros bullshit? Crazy talk! But seriously. So when I post the below video I just want y'all to understand that I am posting it because, as I've explained before, I can't listen to things/stuff/gunk/junk/etc. on my work-computer, this being an office with other people around and their ears always alert and ready to pounce like snow leopards, so when I find something I want to remember to listen to later, once I'm home and safely nestled in my jammies with an obscenely large mug of hot cocoa and the boyfriend rubbing my toes, well sometimes I'll just email myself the link, or sometimes I might post it, even though I doubt anyone reading this has any desire to watch/listen to it. But I do. And I matter.
This is Radiohead performing "How To Disappear Completely" - their greatest song, says I - live some unknown-to-me time ago, via Stereogum (where there's also a snippet o' interview with Jonny Greenwood about his influences re: the soundtrack for Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood):

One of my most precious memories is hearing "How To Disappear Completely" live, in December of 2003. Thom prefaced the song by saying, "This is for you, Dublin". Hearing the line "I float down the Liffey" while that actual river is literally right outside the venue and getting simultaneous goosebumps with a couple thousand other people was just...wow.
That sounds amazing. Radiohead live is just... I'm not a religious person, but it's the closest to that sort of religious ecstasy that I've ever experienced. Like your feet are floating off the floor.
