Too bad I won’t get my hands on the physical record before some time late in December, but at least the digital version’ll be avaliable in five days.
Now, the question is whether I really should spend £40 on this thing. My heart screams “YEEEEEEEESSS”, my mind says, quite calmly, “yes”, but my biannual budget is more reluc…. but hey! I don’t have one of those! Yay! 
Still. I wonder if I should listen to this phantom budget — a stunted runt of an economic sense — as I’m not sure I actually need the deluxe discbox with two vinyl records along with two CDs. Meh. The decision can wait.
But me? I can barely contain myself! Radiohead have made a new record! Wee!
(Gods, I haven’t drawn a rainbow since I was in kindergarden. It felt nice, though. A bitch to do with a touchpad, especially on an empty stomach, but still. Nice.)
Aw, crikes, this’ll carry me for days; the oral test I have in one of my English classes today’ll go like a dream, as will the writing of my history paper on Norwegian Medieval agriculture. Perhaps I could even get up now, take a quick shower, and get to work some on the paper before Linguistics? Yeah.
Thanks, Thom, Johnny, Colin, Ed and Phil. You’ve made my week. (=

Jeg oppdaget In Rainbows i går en gang, og har siden da prøvd å finne anledninger som passer for å hinte til hva jeg kanskje muligens ønsker meg til jul. Noe lenge å vente, men om man ikke har penger, så.. Uansett, hurra!
Den regnbuen har forresten for mange farger.

What a nice blog post! It kinda made me happy just in and of itself (seeing as I don’t care much about Radiohead - haven’t listened much to them, really).
Me? I’m looking forward to the new “Wolfmother” album.

Jepp, så dette i går jeg og, sjekket innom bloggen her nå for å sjekke om du hadde fått det med deg. VIDUNDERLIGE nyheter, kommer ikke til å kjøpe discbox’en, men kommer til å gi dem 10 £ med nedlastningen. Og Eple, det virker som om en “vanlig” CD først kommer i Januar en gang, de hadde ikke fått i stand noe med et plateselskap når de publiserte at det nye albumet var ferdig, i alle fall.

“Den regnbuen har forresten for mange farger.”
Really? Oh well. Gives it more autheticity, kindergarden-wise, then.
“What a nice blog post! It kinda made me happy just in and of itself”
Aaw, that’s good to hear.
“Jepp, så dette i går jeg og, sjekket innom bloggen her nå for å sjekke om du hadde fått det med deg.”
The fun thing is that I found about it from a two days old Klassekampen, which I read on the bed yesterday morning. Fun place to get such information from, really. Usually their page 2 comments relate to the last developments on the new pension reform, or bashes some aspect of American foreign policy, so it was good to get something useful out of it for once.
“VIDUNDERLIGE nyheter, kommer ikke til å kjøpe discbox’en, men kommer til å gi dem 10 £ med nedlastningen.”
Me neither/too. Sure, the discbox sounds like a fun thing to own, but seeing as 1) I don’t own a record player, and 2) don’t really have anywhere to store it, I guess I’ll just download it on October 10, burn it onto a CD-R, and buy it later, if they release it in a physical, mass-market CD, too.
The fun thing now will be to find out how they’ve developed in the last four years. Hopefully, they continue mixing electronica, rock and whatever else they feel like throwing in, but seeing as Thom might have found other outlets for his most electronic impulses (throught the amazing “The Eraser” ), while he at the same time don’t seem to function like other, “normal” artists (the Gods bless him), the impredictability of the thing makes me all giddy like a schoolgirl.
“Me? I’m looking forward to the new “Wolfmother” album.”
Personally, I feel kinda ambivalent towards that one. Sure, I liked their energic retro heavy rock almost immediately when first I heard it last fall, and I still like it quite well (for example, “Mind’s Eye” hasn’t been deleted from my MP3 player since I bought it in March this year), but… Perhaps I just listened too much to it when it was first released, because I’m a bit tired of it these days…
But then again, I’m tired of most of my CDs at the moment, the only things that seem to do it for me lately are Solefald, Band of Horses, Ryan Adams and the Cardinals, Nas, The Shins, Massive Attack, The Roots and Dinosaur Jr….

Hmh. If you want music, the album “Music Has The Right To Children” by Boards of Canada is amazing, the same is “Some Cities” by Doves. You’ve probably already listened to “Melody A.M.” by Röyksopp, but still, it is great. The Guillemots debut effort, “Through the Windowpane”, is great. And after having seen an amazing music video by them on youtube, “Rabbit in your headlights” (with vocals from Thom Yorke!), I’ve just downloaded the entire discography of Unkle. So, yeah. You won’t manage to listen through all that in the three days before In Rainbows come out, though. =P

Ah, I’ve meant to check out Boards of Canada for some time now, and seeing as the last album you recommended me (the Menomena thing) was quite good, I might expedite the process of aquisition.
And from what I was able to glean from the Wikipedia article on Unkle, those guys seemed worth checking out as well, My previous encounters with trip-hop have both been fairly successful, and they can’t be bad if they’ve collaborated with Thom…
