Heavy Feather

One of the best moments of my life

Radiohead. Live in Atlanta, May 8th, 2008.

We woke up at 5:30am and got ready. Made a few sandwiches and got some water. Then we rode out at 7am to MARTA and got on the train. Took the train to the S4 station and found out that the bus we needed to get on was not there. Had to get back on the northbound and take it up one station. Got off there and waited for the 54 Bus. Then ended up on the wrong bus but got off before it left. Then we waited longer and got on the right bus. Got to the venue with 3 other people.

Waited from 9am to 4pm

At about 4:30 we got let into the first outer gates.

Waited another hour. Heard the soundcheck.

Got let into the outside of the amphitheatre. Waited another 45 minutes for bracelets for the pit.

Then got let into the pit. We got up FRONT against the RAIL in front of Ed's spot (everyone else stole the Thom, Thom/Jonny and Jonny spots).

Liars played. Gotta say. I liked about 2 songs out of the 7 or 8 they played.

Then, after another half hour wait...

Does anyone in here get hit with inside fever?
So bad, sometimes, it's hard to move around
They'll show you all the things you are not doing
Instead of helping you, they'll block you out
And you're whining, you shouldn't waste your money
But the couch fibers keep you inside
So I'm so sorry I came in late this evening
But all the clocks around the town had died
And all the fruit store's colors were so bright
With couples smiling cooking things tonight
And what were all those troubles on my mind
Oh I took a walk
The room is filled with men and coke
And I don't break 'til midnight shock
Are you feeling warm tonight?
Turn it down?
Well, I just might
The room is filled with ancient dates
Where I've been and what I ate
What I asked you drill them out
And fill in every little doubt
The room is filled with gummy bears
Electric shavers, ingrown hairs
I keep the curtains high enough
You sleep on cotton, rest in fluff
The room is filled with catalogues
Encyclopedias, books enough
To keep me busy in the morning
Sun sets fast without warning
The room is filled with cords and plugs
Electronic translucent bugs
And what's that crawling all around?
What's that twitching, is it still alive!?
Is it still alive!?
Is it still alive!?
Does anyone in here get hit with inside fever?
So bad, sometimes, it's hard to move around
They'll show you all the things you are not doing
Instead of helping you, they'll block you out
And you're whining, you shouldn't waste your money
But the couch fibers keep you inside
So I'm so sorry I came in late this evening
But all the clocks around the town had died
And all the fruit store's colors were so bright
With couples smiling cooking things tonight
And what were all those troubles on my mind
Yes, I took a walk

Oh, I like a walk

I'm the mother flippin' Rhymenocerous
My beats are fly and the birds are on my back
And I'm horny
I'm horny

If you choose to proceed you will indeed concede
Cos I hit you with my flow
The Wild Rhino Stampede

I'm not just wild, I'm trained,
Domesticated
I was raised by a rapper and rhino that dated
And subsequently procreated

That's how it goes
Here's the Hiphopopotamus
The hip hop hippo

They call me the Hiphopopotamus
My lyrics are bottomless...

They call me the Hiphopopotamus
Flows that glow like phosphorous
Poppin' off the top of this esophagus
Rockin' this metropolis

I'm not a large water-dwelling mammal
Where did you get that preposterous hypothesis?
Did Steve tell you that, perchance?
Steve...

My rhymes and records they don't get played
Because my records and rhymes they don't get made
And if you rap like me you don't get paid
And if you roll like me you don't get laid

My rhymes are so potent that in this small segment
I made all of the ladies in the area pregnant
Yes, sometimes my lyrics are sexist
But you lovely bitches and hoes should know I'm trying to correct this

Other rappers dis me
Say my rhymes are sissy.
Why? Why? Why?
What?
Why exactly?
What? Why?
Be more constructive with your feedback, please. Why?
Why?

Why? 'Cause I rap about reality!
Like me and my grandma drinking a cup of tea!
There ain't no party like my nanna's tea party
Heigh! Ho!

I'm the motherflippin'
I'm the motherflippin'

I'm the motherflippin'
Who's the motherflippin?

I'm the motherflippin'
I'm the motherflippin'

I'm the motherflippin'
Motherflippin'

Get off my case.











Get off my case.

I'm at my cousin's apartment and thought i'dd get on his laptop and chec a few things.

I'm a little drunk... we've been playing the metal gear solid 4 multiplayer beta.... it's sooooo awesome


Thtat wasn't what I originally was giing to make an entry about...

I would like a girlfriend.  Whenever I'm out and about I'm always keeping an eye out for a pretty girl but I haven't really met anyone.  I stopped going to college for the semester so i could maybe check into a program that would get me, possibly, working in a recording studio so whenever I'm out it's always at a store or something... I don't have a school that I regularly go to anymore so

Oh I don't even know anymore

I'm gonna probably read this entry tomorrow nad be embarasses because of the bad grammatical errrors and make a later edit about how i don't remember writing it.

If somehow I can manage to pull some money out of my ass before the beginning of May, I MIGHT be seeing Radiohead a second time in Tampa.

But not only that... I have to find someone to go with me.  I'm also trying to find people to hitch a ride with down there and split the gas money.

It looks pretty damn unrealistic...

I Just Wanna Be Your Lover

Music seems to be at a faster tempo the drunker you are.

*Edit (The day after having written this): 

I don't remember writing this theory.  But I quite like it.
