No more leaky holes in your brain, and no false starts

At the bus station, they have powerful spotlights set into the ground and which point upwards, illuminating things with their powerful powerfulness. When it's late at night and you're waiting for a bus and you're very bored, you can play about with them; for example, you can block them partially with your feet and pull faces:

You won't like me when I'm angry
You can also photograph yourself doing this, to the loud amusement of the attendant deros.

Thom Yorke out of Radiohead put out an album a couple of years ago. It's called Eraser. I really really like it, although -- notoriously (want a better link? Try Google) -- not all Radiohead fans feel as I do. Atoms For Peace is one of my favourite tracks from the album.

I really love RADIOHEAD (particularly 'Kid A' and 'Amnesiac') but I fuckin' hate that Thom Yorke 'Eraser' album. He sux to the max. He's a whiny twit who writes embarrassing lyrics that read like a 4th form schoolboy's poetry.

I can't agree at all. I actually really like the album. I don't really listen to the lyrics -- it's the amazing production that I love, and the voice is just part of that I guess.

I can't imagine his lyrics would be any worse than those of the guy out of ABC's, either ;)

I know what you mean about the amazing production and cool sound - that's part of the reason I love Radiohead so much. There's just something about Thom Yorke on his own that lacks magic for me, though. He's too prominent but on Radiohead he's a bit easier to overlook.

And what do you mean? "who broke my heart? You did! You did! You think you're smart. Stupid Stupid!" is fucking genius. I guess ABC is fun but Thom Yorke takes himself quite seriously. But I can't.
