Ethereal Rock

Amnesiac (Radiohead): Another recommendation by Mr. Pearce. Well, that's not 100% true. My buddy Joe C. first exposed me to Radiohead via OK Computer. When Dave saw I had this on my iPhone, he made sure I heard some more Radiohead. How do you classify this? Ethereal? Why would you want to be in this band? That said, I enjoy the spaces, places, feelings, moods, whatever, that Thom Yorke and company create, despite what Miley Cyrus thinkg. This was an excellent follow-up to American V. With arrangements alternately sparse and lush, or sparsely lush, or maybe lushly sparse, and nothing too upbeat (like Jane's Addiction on lithium?), I was brought back up to 'normal' by this record. This morning at least.

Footnote: In the interim between when this was written, and when it was posted, I've really come to be a Radiohead fan. I find it excellent post-workout (cooldown) music.
