Glam night was quite different last night. I suppose that Halloween brought more people out, but for the first time ever there was a line to get in. Fairly crowded, lots of patent/pleather goth types were around. Pretty good night, but I have to admit that the music is very predictable. When you and your friends find a place that you like to hang out, it's almost sad when it changes. There is no reason that the Shim Sham should not become popular, but it is just not as fun when it isn't as obscure. As Scott would say, "That's the breaks..."

"i think i know why radiohead's music appeals its way to me. it's lonely. most other music written is for mobs of dancing squelching people, a feeling of accompaniment. some songs were written for partnership, love songs written for the two, sharing. radiohead, perhaps, is the only band written for you, one person. it's for you to hear alone. you may listen to radiohead on a physical plane with someone, but the music will still reach your personally, but also just them personally. that's my theory. that's why radiohead is so unique, and that's why it appeals to those lonely computer people that perhaps spend too much time alone.

I agree to this to an extent. Kid A is an isolationist record, and it even feels better when you are listening to it alone. The earlier albums are easily shared with other people. Not to mention, Radiohead is still rock n' roll music, whether or not the band is experimenting presently. And rock can be lonely sometimes.
