SHOULD I BELIEVE THE HYPE?

The latest issue of 'Spin' describes one of the songs on their new album as
a cross between "Silver Machine" and "Mother Sky".  Can I say anything but
"IF ONLY?"  I'm ignorant, I've never heard Radiohead, but I've heard tons
(and tons and tons) of hype.  And descriptions like the one I just
mentioned make me believe that, yeah, it's JUST hype.  Anyone wanna point
out the error of my ways?

Speaking of "Mother Sky" ...
Thursday, Oct 5, Bottom of the Hill, San Francisco:
* Mushroom (with whom I will again be performing)
* Subarachnoid Space
* Damo Suzuki

Should be a good one, and Circle / Village of Savoonga two days later.  Woo
hoo!  Almost makes up for no trip to Brixton this month ...

Oasis [not sorry!])
