up to june 8.......a long time

well, well, well....it's been a while .......so here's a short one to ease us all back into it....i've written quite a bit but never sent anything...........................it feels a bit like that letter you never dared send ....the one you've just written but you don't entirely trust it's very words......so no point inflicting those words on anyone else.......i'm sure we've all been there......of course i realise that that conflicts with the very nature of this 'diary', but it's all about confidence...some days are better than others. actually the truth is that at such a crucial time of the album........tracklisting, rehearsals, titles, arguments and full on fist fights......i probably haven't been at my most objective........there is however one cert in my mind....i fucking love this record now........and that's not me attempting to whip others into a kind of mass marketing aren't we great type frenzy...........it's the god's honest truth, governor..........but before i can write anymore i'm going to conflab with the others so that we can get our story straight.........here's an idea............... it looks as though alastair campbell has made a few errors in judgement over the handling of his pm's media engagements recently and might want to seek further employment elsewhere in an effort to save some of his rapidly dwindling credibilty......and maybe, just maybe he could add some 'spin' to us radiohead fellas...........that would be ace to see 'al' doing interviews for us............tight-lipped, stern and fending off the press .............."listen sonny if you ask this lot another question about why they always seem such a miserable bunch of bastards i will personally make sure you never hear another record of theirs again...........and for the record meeting people IS easy.................." .................... ah yes that would be just fine..........no more questions as to how you got the name of the band, or what you thought of creep now some 7 years after its release....actually to be honest the interviews done so far seem to be of a different calibre compared to last time round........so consequently they're not or at least have not been so far too much of an effort ...........but that might also have something to do with us and our new-found spirit of glasnost.prost.

will write something more at the w/end. we're off on tour on monday...................
