I Love the Modern World


This is a screenshot from iTunes.

I'm not a huge Radiohead fan -- I like 'em fine and we have a few records -- but I love this kind of thing. I spent ninety-nine of my cents to get these six tracks. I don't know if I'll use them or not. This week I began making some music tracks for the first time in about five weeks, a long layoff from messing around with GarageBand and Audacity, the two software programs I use most.

But I don't think I'd go so far as to use all of the Radiohead tracks to re-do this particular song. That seems wacky -- to do the song again. If I'm going to go to THAT much trouble, I'd rather make a whole new song.

Now you know why I don't record covers. I once did a slowed-down version of the theme song to Sailor Moon, but other than that I've never spent my time learning how to play a song by someone else.
