On the latest episode of Texting, Black-Eyed Angel (Tomek) and Kid MW (your favorite author, songwriter, and publisher in permanent exile) discuss Amnesiac, Radiohead’s “most vibey/eccentric,” “beep boop” album. Pulk, pull, and press play above to hear the full convo, during which the co-hosts witter on about cut-up lyrics, found poetry, streaming culture, Picasso’s minotaur, Lawrence’s Ship of Death, King Solomon’s dubious wisdom, and the condition known as anisocoria, among other things, while Kid MW experiments with various sound effects on the Riverside media board. I might be wrong, but I think S4E4, with all its peaks and valleys, is a banger. So open up, begin again, and let’s go down the waterfall. Of course I’d like to sit around and chat, but someone’s listening in. Is it you and your cronies?
P.S. I’m still editing the “cooked” version of the video, so in the meantime you can watch the “raw” version:
