Blue Groom w/Geraniums is my

Blue Groom w/Geraniums is my favorite among the pix from Peru on the constantly evolving equatorial.tv site. Mr. and Mrs. Bootsy Fracture explain Sparkleday to the underenlightened.

This morning read yet another denunciation of recent Radiohead. It may be true that the version of "Morning Bell" on Kid A is more compositionally complex than the one on Amnesiac. But critical griping about Thom Yorke's failure to deliver the expected gets old, and right quickly. In particular, the thesis that the guitar/bass/drums/singer combo is some kind of authentic medium for artistic expression which musicians depart from at their peril is interesting. But it would require more evidence than I've seen yet.
