I’m not listening because everything Eddie Vedder does solo (and most of what he has done with PJ post-2000) has been cringe. And I do so tire cringing at one-time heroes.
Whenever I hear something like this (yet another chart topper from an era I consciously lived through that I don’t remember at all), I wonder if this is the kind of thing the maker of the song listens to, or better yet was something that the maker wanted to hear in the world because it didn’t already exist. Is Timmy T’s favorite genre of music badly produced generic mud balladry? Did he have a vision that he just couldn’t keep inside himself any longer?
HOW DID THIS GET MADE
Current? Woodstock 99 and Roskilde were 20 years ago.
I think we’ve just been extremely fortunate that more large festivals haven’t turned to tragedy because every single one of them is a recipe for disaster.
For some reason it didn’t include the Instagram link I pasted. Check out user seannafaith and her description of these events from the ground. Trigger warning: it’s quite horrific.
Just relistened to Worrywart for the first time in a while. If that had been the template for all future Radiohead releases, I would have been perfectly happy with it.
I don’t get why they didn’t include the Amnesiac B-Sides on the vinyl edition. I personally don’t need the working sketch ephemera, I just want Worrywart and Cuttooth.
I can’t believe I actually have a sliver of recognition for this, considering how exaggeratedly forgettable this is. It’s abrasively bland. “No one ever went broke underestimating the tastes of the American public”
