hey garret, my copy of ok computer shows 1997 as the release. and it's
interesting you mention alanis. one site i read about radiohead said that
they opened for alanis in some shows. i liked alanis when she came out. i
even saw her in 1996 in south carolina. but when i listen to pablo honey,
which came out like 92 or 93, i hear some harmonica and things that alanis
took on. in other words, i hear radiohead's influence in alanis, so i was
surprised when the article i read said that rh opened for her. to me is
looks like it should have been the other way around. i think they have far
out produced her. but i still like her. one edgy chick.
now when i listen to kid a, which slut predicted accurately, i think it's a
huge undertaking and marks the depth of those guys abilities. the first
track on the cd that is at all like their other stuff is optimistic and that
comes in like track 6 i think. i know you don't even hear a guitar until
track 4. but kid a is not a high energy album the way pablo honey is. even
ok computer is more pensive. draws you out on a journey.
i was in ireland for a few months in 1977. i saw two concerts there: the
chieftans and horselips. i guess that was before you were born. i'm twice
your age and listening to stuff now for the first time that you already put
away as used. oh hell, i think i'm gettiing depressed.
thanks for the post!

<< im not too
sure off hand, but OKcomputer was released in 1997 wasnt it? so they fit
right into my mid teens.
by the time i got OKcomputer i had been throuhg the whole "alanis obsession"
that infected us in 1996/7. OKcomputer rapidly became one of my all time
favourite albums.
but they didnt have enough new material for me. so i went back to Pablo
Honey. not quite what the later two albums were, but very solid all the
same. >>
