Today was blah. I spent half the day walking around the school. Yeah, in every class except gym I took approximately 20 minute "bathroom" breaks. It's funny when you walk by a classroom and whoever's in view turns and looks at you with that "what the hell is that?" expression on their face. Is it human nature or something that people always sense someone at the door? I should wear my old adidas someday, cuz they always squeak easily and loudly if you walk the right way.

Paid this kid my left over snack money (a dollar and fifty five cents) for a Pearl Jam cd. How kick ass is that?

I stole this magazine from the art room, and it says that Radiohead is the best band in the world. It doesn't really support that opinion all that much, as you can see in the entirety of the one rather long paragraph article:

"Leading has always been more dangerous and more difficult than following, and Radiohead have led their fans, their foes and their countless imitators as ably as any rock band. The British quintet has managed to chart a hazardous course from alternative-rock radio with its jagged 1993 ode to self-hatred, 'Creep,' to global respect as the world's most sophisticated arena-rock band. After The Bends, in 1995, and the platinum OK Computer, in 1997, Radiohead headed in a strange new direction. Kid A and Amnesiac broke all the rules, employing tangled, miasmic arrangements, wistful vocals and all manner of electronic gadgetry in songs that could be as alienating as they are challenging. The band weathered a lukewarm popular response but toured with renewed vigor (and signs of actual enjoyment). With this year's Hail to the Thief , the group continued what it began in the early '90s: grand, experimental, fiercely original music that defies expectation and solidifies their position as the 21st century's greatest rock band."


QUOTE: "Thom [Yorke, Radiohead singer] is constantly testing us," says guitarist Ed O'Brien. "You think, 'Do I have to keep proving myself?' Yeah, you do. That's why he's such a great bandleader. He keeps you on your toes."

FUN FACT: The original band name was On a Friday.

See what I mean? Wow that's some major support for "the world's greatest band." Not to mention they're also "artist of the month." I'm starting to lose faith in Rolling Stone. Not that I haven't already. Actually, this magazine is from Rolling Stone presents XM NATION. I'm guessing it's some radio station shit. Oh no wait it says on the cover, "Advertising Supplement to Rolling Stone Magazine."
