Acanthus 12.04.11	Hate girls who relentlessly play Radiohead, but I too love when people actually want recs/listen to them - so kudos sir.

SixteenthSixToothSon 12.04.11	maybe they don't take your recs because you give them Radiohead eerrrrruuuurrraaaaaa
spillingmercury 12.04.11	@Acanthus: Haha, thanks. I don't think I've really met a girl who makes it a point in playing Radiohead in front of me, though I have had that experience with a lot of scene girls/scene music. My friend more so tells me about her newfound obsession than she does show me, but that's mainly because it's her way of relating to me in a nerdy sort of way.
Acanthus 12.04.11	I can understand that, good luck with the recs!
spillingmercury 12.04.11	Sixteenth: I've honestly no clue what that last bit of typed sound was supposed to mean. Were you trying to be funny? Or are you expressing your disgust at Radiohead?
ohfoxxxycole 12.04.11	if she's new to radiohead this playlist is going to make her not like radiohead
FromDaHood 12.04.11	Don't expect her to come back for more
spillingmercury 12.04.11	if she's new to radiohead this playlist is going to make her not like radiohead I tried to make it so that it transitioned from what I considered more accessible from their OK Computer stuff onwards to things with more experimental value, and then go into songs that were always a bit more emotional to me. I mean, the things she's listened to so far have been from the Bends, like Fake Plastic Tree and Just, so I wanted to make it likeable, but also representative that Radiohead isn't just 90s alt rock sort of music. What would you have put?
TheVoiceAndTheSnake 12.04.11	weird fishes/arpeggi and songs like that might turn her off, might start out giving her some more of their accessible stuff.
spillingmercury 12.04.11	See, for me, Weird Fishes and the rest of In Rainbows was always something that just naturally clicked for me. So accessible is sort of a vague term when I think of it in regards to Radiohead, except maybe albums like Kid A and sections of OK Computer. For me there's a difference between really emotionally investing into a song and understanding it and using it as pretty background music, and most of their stuff I've always started off thinking of it as "it's pretty, I don't understand it, but I can listen to it." So any suggestions as to accessible?
Eclecticist 12.04.11	showing her your cock > showing her good music
spillingmercury 12.04.11	Don't have a cock to show her, sir. Plus, she's a lesbian so.
TheVoiceAndTheSnake 12.04.11	I'd probably give here something like this 1. Planet Telex 2. Airbag 3. Let Down 4. 15 Step 5. Anyone Can Play Guitar 6. Idioteque 7. Karma Police 8. Lotus Flower 9. My Iron Lung 10. No Surprises 11. Everything In Its Right Place 12. There There 13. Reckoner 14. Paranoid Android 15. You And Whose Army?
TheVoiceAndTheSnake 12.04.11	*her
spillingmercury 12.04.11	Haha, alright then. Thanks.
ohfoxxxycole 12.04.11	thats definitely easier for a new listener
TheVoiceAndTheSnake 12.04.11	I mean it's not the best playlist, but it should do the trick
