    If you're going to pillage someone else's ideas, then go for broke. Because even if you find yourself crammed between the barriers of creative space, utterly at a loss for ideas, expression, or thought, you'd still have a self-respect buzzing in your ear like a mad angelic insect, putting down the newspaper and taking out a cigar to remind you that, hell, if want to sound like Radiohead when even Thom Yorke doesn't want to sound like Radiohead, you might as well take it to preposterous, bombastic, over-the-top levels. Add church organs, mental electronics, riffs bouncing off each other like the monolithic screams in 2001: A Space Odyssey, and you'll finally be in position to crack skulls like coconuts and make the world's speakers ooze gooey blood.

This post is, I admit, shameless strumpeting on my part. But it's my 17th birthday, and I'm in a pretty good mood right now.But I also need to thank the MOG community. Thanks to you all, I spent all of my money from relatives and family on CDs on artists that you all lovely people have discovered for me (Film School, Nine Black Alps, Mew, Sonic Youth, and more). So this is a thank you note t...
