^cool... I like the drums added but yeah it seems hard for him to get the high notes. I've been thinking also doing a cover of that. I might do it today. Also thinking about Codex... I just have to learn it. Lastly I was talking to Operator 3 and he said that people who downloaded only will be contacted via email in about a week letting them know they can upgrade to the full newspaper album.

It's nice to get a few more hours to work. I can't wait to take a trip to see my brother at the end of the week. This song is so incredible (Codex-Radiohead)

The "things I wish I could say" thread
I wish I could find out if you like me. You're so pretty, I can talk to you, and I think you like me, but by the way you act towards other people at work gives me seconds thoughts about you liking me as if it's in your nature to be that friendly or flirtatious.

HOW TO GET TO HEAVEN WHEN YOU DIE
What I'm trying to understand is how someone can believe all of these stories to be 100% factually true. The Bible or Religion was a logical thing to turn to at the time when there was no science and explination for phenomena. People would call sicknesses or typhoons or earthquakes an act of god when in fact they didn't understand there were microscopic organisms causing sickness or that typhoons and earthquakes were just a part of nature. Does evolution have things that are not as of yet known or fully explainable? Of course. As with any other science, there's always questions and things to be discovered and answered. But with science you have people that devote their lives and years into research. It's the same as how the church has had so many beliefs change because of science research. I just don't see how you can deny that evolution exists. If anything than just say that it was part of God's grand scheme of things to make it. Also homosexuality is something that people are born with. Even the leader of the Human Genome Project has proven there is exact gene for it. Plus, logically with so much prejudice and hatred brought towards people that are like that, do you think they'd really want to bring that on themselves if they could help it? People are still being healed by Jesus Christ from blindness, disability and disease? Then how come I had a religious school teacher who was so devoted to the church and teaching she is still blind after so many decades? Or I have an uncle who is also religious but has a disability that will never go away. If I have a sickness I think I'd rather go to a doctor than wish away the problem. I'll tell you exactly why it's too hard to believe that God is ever present in this world is because there's so much hatred, violence and problems because religion is a leading factor. The stories in the bible just sound ridiculous! Do you honestly believe that there was a snake that could talk? Or that the Earth is only 6,000 years old? Plus the bible is terrible in it's teachings that slavery is okay as well as treating women badly. If we are all born equal and God is all loving why are things acceptable and said in the Bible? Listen of course I don't know every single detail of evolution or of the Bible, but from what my understanding is up to this point it's something that logically makes much more sense than that we are from Adam and Ever. Look, you can believe what you want to believe and that's fine. I'm just trying to get a better understanding how your convictions can be so strong when in my opinion the stories are ridiculous. I think it of course has helped some people get through difficult times and has been a thing which they have turned to for guidance and hope. There is no question about that. At the same time you cannot deny how much harm it has done throughout the world over the years with so many wars fighting each other based on sacred land or because people don't believe the same things. Just because someone is religious doesn't make them a moral or good person. In the end when we die, if there is a God I think that he is going to judge us more so on how we treated our fellow human and how we tried to do good towards others. I really doubt that he's going to care what we ate on certain days, or how often we went to church, or who we slept with or whatever. You don't have to respond to the full post above but I truthfully just want to ask something. Don't you, from a logical point of view (religion aside), think that the idea of a talking snake, a man walking on water, the existance of giants and other mythical creatures, turning water into wine, making a loaf of bread feed more people than it realistically should, a man parting the sea is kind of farfetched? If someone claimed that they were witness to any one of these things, don't you think they might be a bit crazy to think that? I think that it is an interesting debate and I have enjoyed discussing and reading your posts on this. :) I guess we can agree to disagree, being that it seems neither of our minds will be changed.

I agree. Did anyone look at that interview I posted on the other page? I see more possible speculation to more music.

wow! That's amazing! how did you find that? You can definitely see how they are now hinting towards more albums in that video to build to that video I found this on atease: http://steveleeds.wordpress.com/2011/02/21/interview-chris-hufford-radiohead-manager/ I find it strange there's no live plans on the horizon, and also there's a chance for something on Record Store Day

HOW TO GET TO HEAVEN WHEN YOU DIE
I'm sorry but they way that you talk about a lot of these things I can't take fully seriously. I do think that religion can be good for some people and help them through difficult times. It has been and always will be a sense of comfort, though part of me feels it's false hope at times. In terms of evolution I don't feel I need to. I have learned a lot about it in school, and also people that have wrote about and talked about evolution have studied it and devoted so much time towards it. Of course it's theoretically a theory, but all the evidence we have is so strong. I mean just go to a museum and look at the bones or fossils of older apes... They have a striking familiarity to humans... I wonder why :thinking: Even from a logical standpoint evolution just makes sense. I think it can be explained in a very simple way. We come from the genes and dna of our parents. Their genes/dna came from their parents and so on. As time progresses each increasing generation is evolving and changing based on what dna was combined. It's the same thing if you look at our anatomy. We all have tail bones, gall bladders, and tonsils that are of no use towards us now. Now if god created us, what would be the point of giving us such things as above? It makes more sense to me that overtime our species evolved and adapted to climate and we no longer needed those organs. I'm also not being close minded with those parting of the seas and 6 days. It's just reasoning behind it. Moses was a human being, have you ever seen a single human be able to perform such a feat like that? It is simply impossible. It just sounds like a fairy tale to me. Also another thing is that the stories written in the Bible were written like 2-3 decades after Jesus lived. So I'm sure that overtime that the story changed drastically. Now in terms of Sins this is a point that I think of. Jesus "saved" all of us from having sins and giving forgiveness. So then what happened to all those millions of people before he arrived? I guess I'd imagine they went to hell. It doesn't sound right to me that those people are punished because they were born at the wrong time. Hitchens though makes an interesting point. Why would God wait so long to intervene and send Jesus? If humans were around so long, why would he wait and also why would he send his son into a remote part of the world where most people were illiterate? What he talks about the being dirt is a metaphor. He's talking how in religions they say we were created from dust, a clot of blood, and that essentially it's to mean that if we were created from that that we are that. The one question that I have for you is how can you think you are so right, when there have been so many millions of Gods over the course of time? Were those people idiots and misguided? Also what about other religions? Are those people completely wrong? I just don't understand how you can make yourself be so sure that the bible is the truth, especially when from a logical thinking person the stories don't make sense. I think this is the biggest problem is that people think they know what god wants just because of a book, yet there are so many different gods. If there is a god clearly someone is wrong. Which also leads me to believe that if God wanted to make everyone equal and love each other why would he have made so many different religions that eventually clash and have killed so many people in the long run? There's just so many contradictions. For example on the stance of same sex couples. The church and religious people think it's completely morally wrong. But if God apparently created us, and since homosexuality is something that you're born with, why would he make people to act that way if his teachings go against it? It'd be like having a fitness trainer telling someone not to go to McDonalds because it's bad, but during their break they go and get a big mac. Also I went to religious school on Sundays for 8 years, so it's not as if I don't know about this stuff. Let me just ask you this one question. If in some really poor part of the world today, where there was no media coverage and someone said or wrote down that 20-30 years ago there was a human that could walk on water, part the seas, cure illness, and also that there was a snake that could talk... would you honestly take them for their word and blindly believe them just because a story said so? Would you really take it seriously? Religion in itself is in my eyes a way to control people, but also to try and set a standard of guidelines of morals to people who have none or are misguided. It's good that it's not taught in schools because it doesn't belong since it's a personal belief and people have different views on it.

What do you think the unrest in the Middle East will result in?
^you make very convincing arguments nick. I agree in that a lot of these people in Washington only really seem to care about the short term consequences of our actions. I mean looking back in some sense the whole fear over communism was stupid in the sense that our country could be communist, but of course more of a reality in terms of nuclear weapons. But now countries that we aided to fight against the Russians are now our enemies (aka. Afghanistan). This especially goes with energy. If we were to find alternative energy and get rid of our dependence on foreign oil, there wouldn't be much of a reason to be in countries that we are in. Also we know that the supply of oil will run out, so why not invest in energy like solar or wind or water that is unlimited? Once again it's our shortsightedness towards the future. Our country should be more forward thinking in our actions, and what possible consequences might occur from them. From what you are saying I do agree that we try to force our beliefs on others. I think it's wrong because many times these people that we try to change don't want to adapt our way of life, so why should we force it on them? Of course it has to do with other interests. At the same time I feel that this country is great in what we can do and the amount of freedoms we get compared to many other countries. However that said, we should have more freedoms in the sense that I think that certain drugs (like pot) be made legal (it would limit the amount of money put into incarcerating people and the drug war, plus could be a beneficial tax to help the deficit), also allowing same sex couples to marry (i don't understand what the big deal is, it shouldn't matter who you love based on gender). Unfortunately as history has shown all great empires fall. It seems our country is no longer the biggest in the world and has been taken over by China in so many fields (education, innovation, economy). I think that our attitude needs to change and we should stop being the police of the world. It is not our place many times to do what we do, and I could see why much of the world hates us.
