    Walker Evan's "Luncheon Window, New York" 1929

    A car camouflaged in contemporary colors
    was pulled from the curb by a swatch
    of superstitious workers
    deployed as if from an organized handbook.

    Leaving scars on the dashboard they evict the driver
    from his means of escape. He runs through red lights
    down a flight of steps. His car’s towed away
    like a broken ship ready to sink to keep a secret.

    Lunchtime wanderers can only view
    this man’s life within a diner window frame.
    Even less concerned with the multiple demise
    the red light flashes for a moment.
    Next moment.
    Next moment.
    Next moment.

    Across the street at a public park
    a jump rope slackens.
    Two girls dressed in proper pink
    witness this scene not revealed within the alphabet.

    The parking space refills with only one dink,
    and lunchtime wanderers who never step on sidewalk cracks
    look beyond and to the left of descending steps.
    They consider their hunger coin denominated.

    A construction worker looks up. He looks straight.
    He drops his hammer.

    A man swallows the scene without touching his tongue for taste,
    and inhales vinegar soaked french fries.
    He gulps down the usual drink
    ordered with a the special for an extra 50 cents.

    Another man holds his sandwich like breath.
    He will live as a lunchtime wanderer without means of escape.
    He will teach his son to throw baseballs at the sky.
    He will share stories with his granddaughter about this day’s noise.

    I posted this in the poetry section a while ago. I was listening to Street Spirit and looking at the photograph at the same time.

    Radiohead are working on their new album. Can't wait to hear what they do next.

    As for Tool, are they working on a new album? Can't wait to hear what they do next either.

    I can think of more than one band better than them. I like Radiohead, but they arent near the genius of Zeppelin and the Beatles. Having said that, the active bands that are better are PJ, TOOL, SOAD, Black Crowes, Mars Volta, Rush, The Who, Velvet Revolver. All made up of better musicians and all do what they do better than Radiohead. Mars Volta, Tool, and Rush may be the tightest bands I have ever heard.

    I'm sorry but Velvet Revolver is not better than Radiohead, I usually respect peoples opinions but I'm sorry, Revolver is what everyone expected, GNR sound with Scott's vocals, Radiohead you never know what to expect, just like PJ, good thread they are the 2nd best band in my opinion

    People can like Velvet revolver more than Radiohead,
    but when people start calling VR better musicians than Radiohead,
    they are in need of a very good doctor. Because that is not an opinion, it's a clear lie.

    I'd recommend getting 'The Bends' first - its easily their most accessable album - OK Computer's the best but a lot more progressive so best to start with the Bends - and it should get you hooked!!

    Im sorry to criticise but please no shouts for Oasis!! Liam Gallagher's a complete tosser and they're music is average at best.

    I remember back in the early 90's all the Seattle bands were all over the radio and TV in England - by a mile the best musical era I've lived through and then when it all imploded the only type of guitar music you got to hear in England was shite like Oasis and Blur. They did my head in for half a decade - were where they belong at the Rock am Ring festival a few years ago............tucked away on the undercard whilst Pearl Jam headlined!!!
