What the hell was I going to write about?

I swear I thought of something earlier today to post along with today's song, but my mind is like a... something with holes in it. I'm sure I'll remember it as soon as I click Publish Post. And then something shiny will distract me, and by the time I think to come back and update it, I'll have forgotten again.

Yesterday I tried Guitar Hero for the first time. I had been reluctant prior to this for two reasons--first, I'm supposed to be learning to play the REAL guitar but I haven't been, and second, I'm prone to run out and buy something as soon as I find out how cool it is. But I had the opportunity yesterday, a couple young friends were willing to let me try, so I gave it a shot. And I did okay. I hit 91% of the notes in Foghat's "Slow Ride" on my first try, but "Story of my Life" by Social Distortion kicked my ass. Much worse was me trying to stand up out of the kids' gaming chair. I made old-man noises and cursed my creaky joints. Talk about feeling old. No, I haven't run out and bought my own copy yet, but mainly because I'm geekily researching which version comes with the Foo Fighters songs I'm so desperate to rock out too. I promise that if I cave in and buy it, there will be pictures.

If you haven't already checked out Radiohead's new album, In Rainbows, you should, even if you don't think you like Radiohead. They're so fucking brilliant and eclectic, you're bound to find at least one song you like. And you have to respect them giving a big middle finger to the record companies and releasing the album online for whatever fans wanted to pay. This video might give you a bit of vertigo, but it's the fantastic first single off the album, "Jigsaw Falling Into Place".
