[physicallyherementallykissingmen]

for my wonderful husbands birthday I’m gonna gift him with the curse of knowing the song let down. By rodeohead.

[currymanganese]

Y'all, Let Down by Radiohead played over the ending of Season 1....And what did Carmy do in Season 2, especially in the finale??

Transport Motorways and tramlines Starting and then stopping Taking off and landing The emptiest of feelings Disappointed people Clinging onto bottles And when it comes it's so so disappointing Let down and hanging around Crushed like a bug in the ground Let down and hanging around Shell smashed, juices flowing Wings twitch legs are going Don't get sentimental It always ends up drivel One day I am gonna grow wings A chemical reaction Hysterical and useless Hysterical and Let down and hanging around Crushed like a bug in the ground Let down and hanging around Let down and hanging Let down Let down You know, you know where you are with You know where you are with Floor collapsing, floating Bouncing back and One day I am gonna grow wings A chemical reaction (You know where you are) Hysterical and useless (You know where you are) Hysterical and (You know where you are) Let down and hanging around Crushed like a bug in the ground Let down and hanging around

Likewise, the song that played over Season 2's ending was Half a World Away by REM; since Carmy literally Let Sydney Down in Season 2, is the title of this song gonna foreshadow Syd and Carmy's relationship in Season 3 as well?? What if Syd goes to Noma to stage or something? Or Carmy goes to Copenhagen on a sabbatical? And they spend much of the season literally half a world away from each other? What if they have to check in with each other regularly over Facetime or something while they're apart?

Hell, what if Carmy or even Sydney needs to be institutionalized for a time and held for observation?

^I hope not, but now I'm nervous......

This could be the saddest dusk I've ever seen Turn to a miracle High alive My mind is racing As it always will My hand's tired, my heart aches I'm half a world away here My head sworn To go it alone And hold it along Haul it along And hold it Go it alone Hold it along and hold, hold Oh, lonely deep sit hollow I'm half a world Half the world away My shoes are gone My life spent I had too much to drink I didn't think And I didn't think of you I guess that's all I needed To go it alone And hold it along Haul it along And hold it Blackbirds, backwards, forwards and fall and hold, hold Oh, this lonely world is wasted Pathetic eyes high alive Blind to the tide that turns the sea This storm it came up strong It shook the trees And blew away our fear I couldn't even hear To go it alone And hold it along Haul it along And hold it To go it alone And hold it along Haul To go it alone And hold it along Haul it along And hold it Blackbirds, backwards, forwards, and fall and hold hold This could be the saddest dusk I've ever seen Turn to a miracle High alive My mind is racing As it always will My hands tired, my heart aches I'm half a world away and go

LYRICS

Transport, motorways and tramlines  Starting and then stopping Taking off and landing  The emptiest of feelings Disappointed people, clinging on to bottles When it comes it's so, so, disappointing 

Let down and hanging around Crushed like a bug in the ground Let down and hanging around 

Shell smashed, juices flowing Wings twitch, legs are going Don't get sentimental, it always ends up drivel

One day, I am gonna grow wings A chemical reaction Hysterical and useless Hysterical and 

Let down and hanging around Crushed like a bug in the ground Let down and hanging around Let down Let down Let down 

You know, you know where you are with You know where you are with 

Floor collapsing, falling Bouncing back and one day, I am gonna grow wings 

A chemical reaction (you know where you are) Hysterical and useless (you know where you are) Hysterical and (you know where you are)

Let down and hanging around Crushed like a bug in the ground Let down and hanging around

Radiohead - OK Computer

Transport, motorways and tramlines / Starting and then stopping / Taking off and landing / The emptiest of feelings / Disappointed people / Clinging on to bottles

This is a big day for the blog! Working through the lists, I’ve been excited to get to the albums. Music is such a major part of Hipsterdom, it almost felt wrong to not yet have any album review here. 

So I’m going to start out by committing full on Music Internet suicide. This is the first on the list, so it’s the one I’m doing, and I have to be honest with myself and the 0 people reading this:

I don’t really get what the big deal is with Ok Computer.

Before you get the pitchforks– well, no, carry on, but before you set them on fire– I do think it’s a good album. It has its strengths, which I want to focus in on. But first or second of all time for decades running according to Rate Your Music? You’re telling me this droning is better than Abbey Road or Kind of Blue or Dark Side of the Moon or In the Aeroplane Over the Sea or Funeral or Illinois or Helplessness Blues or…? Am I being gaslit by a quarter-century of Music Internet? I get the feeling that I’d like Ok Computer and the entire Radiohead discography more if everyone else liked it less (how's that for hipster.) If this was just known as a Good Album, which it is, I wouldn’t feel this pressure to understand why Radiohead fans in general think that Thom Yorke’s mumbling makes for The Greatest Band Ever.

So, let’s just try to unplug and listen.

This is 90s Gen X disillusionment not-quite-grunge type of media, which always feels a little poorly aged, though at its best you get stuff like Fight Club, Alex Garland’s The Beach, Nirvana, and David Foster Wallace. I think what keeps Radiohead from reaching those heights is its unwillingness most of the time to have any fun with the sanding belts of corporate life. Ok Computer’s best moments come from breaking out of the drone and playing a bit with its form and melody, allowing for moments that can actually be remembered. Those moments also define the theme or concept inasmuch as there’s any commitment to one, evoking digital isolation and control. I know this has been pointed at as prophetic, and, yeah, I can see that, though of course more contemporary art actually made in our Age of Tech-Corporate Dopamine does it in a more relevant way. There’s the early experimenting with vocaloids in “Paranoid Android.” There's the jazzy influence and alien abduction plot of “Subterranean Homesick Alien,” even if it’s a bit of an unwarranted dig at Bob Dylan to have that allusory title on a song that has nothing to do with his masterpiece.

As I listen to the album for the second or third time, I’ll admit that the melodies stand out better after a few listens. “Exit Music For a Film” is the grandest composition, building from the acoustic intro to a crescendo that the rest of the album could learn something from, appropriate given it was originally written for a Shakespeare adaptation. “Let Down” almost has, perish the thought, a hook with a tune, and thanks to those opening lines quoted at the top of the post, is one of the best melancholy train songs (a crucial mood to have in your library– note one of the best, it's nothing on Vashti Bunyan's "Train Song.") Then there's the very symbolic duel between acoustic guitar and synthesizer at the end. “Karma Police” has its entrancing piano runs, which lead into the best moment of the album, “Fitter Happier.” The synthesizer absolutely victorious, sounding like a breaking-down sci-fpropagandic indoctrination reel into suburban mundanity, hinting hauntingly at a receiver of the message who plucks wings off of moths in apathetic sociopathy, this is a genuinely haunting and memorable piece of art, and I do think it’s one of the best “songs” of the ‘90s, precisely because it stretches that definition a little.

Pragmatism not idealism

saith the robot masters. If that isn't the antithesis to all hipster ideology!

"Fitter Happier" is such a climax that it’s a bit disappointing to return to Thom Yorke’s nasal whine. I recognize what that whine adds to the songs, but for some reason it just doesn’t work for me as well as his contemporary Mangums and Meloys. Maybe it’s because I can’t actually hear most of the lyrics? Speak up, sir.

Anyway, we return from the fascinating netherworld of “Fitter Happier” into the regular Radiohead world with “Electioneering,” a pretty bombastic song that starts with a cantering Beatlesy guitar riff and builds quickly into big-sounding rock. The only other remotely memorable moment on the back half is the pleasantly pretty, lyrically ironic “No Surprises,” a song good enough to almost make me like Yorke’s vocals. Sadly “Climbing Up the Walls” has nothing to do with top-roping. "The Tourist" is a satisfactory closer, with its buildup and thesis refrain of "hey, man, slow down," delivered better than it sounds here.

I think I need to listen to Ok Computer on a train through the city at night. This is definitely night train music, and sitting at home in the incessant prairie sunlight, this doesn’t feel like the right way to appreciate it. 

Finally, apparently this album was recorded in a haunted mansion in the English countryside, which I love. That's worth some credit in itself.

I give this hipster album four pigs in cages on antibiotics out of five.

Because even though it's growing on me, Neon Bible is still better.

Project Hipster is a futile and disorganized attempt to dive into the world of things that the internet has at some point claimed "are hipster," mostly through ListChallenges search results.

This review comes from the fifth list, The Hipster's Guide to Music.

Stay deck.
