I was a pretty big fan of "OK Computer" for a couple years in college. Not so much these days, but I've got nothing against Radiohead -- I can't think of anything they've done that I really disliked.  I just think that at some point, I subconsciously asked myself, "all right, Erik, are you going to keep up with this Radiohead thing?", and subconsciously answered, "oh, I don't know, it seems like a lot of effort."

That's pretty much my Radiohead story.

As for what I'm listening to?  A lot of Yo La Tengo.  I somehow managed to avoid all of Yo La Tengo's louder/faster songs until a few months ago, giving me the impression that they just played a lot of soft slow music all the time.  But no, it turns out they also have a lot of loud music with distortion and whatnot.  ("Blue Line Swinger" = Erik's favorite song of all time, circa April/May 2008.)  I'm also listening to more Bob Dylan than usual.  I got a haircut last week, but that's not music. 

My birthday went really well!  If you were there, thanks for being there!

A couple updates on my blog of March 22: No second date occurred.  I did watch Ghostbusters, though.
