Today's Music That Is Pretty Cool is The Eraser, from Thom Yorke. I guess this Thom Yorke guy has done some music with a group called the Radioheads that was used in a movie about churches or something. So he got to make an album that was done by him and some sort of sexy computer.
Well, anyway, this album sounds kind of like the leftovers from Kid A. More precisely, it sounds like songs that might have been conceived or even recorded around the same time but weren't quite bleak enough to fit that album. It's very much a Radiohead album, though, electronic and sparse in its sound, though the prevailing mood here isn't so despondent and cold as Kid A. It's not exactly easy listening, but it's definitely mellow. Overall it's a pretty enjoyable album, though not anywhere near as important as Kid A or OK Computer. (It's basically unfair to compare most of anything to those albums, though.)

- Bones of an Idol
- Professionally, I work in information technology for a school. I do a little of everything: support, training, database, website, purchasing, strategy. My job appeals to my love of challenges, solving problems, and helping people.
Outside of work, I enjoy exercise (I used to practice capoeira, but largely run and lift weights now), writing short fiction, and playing the guitar. I am a largely self-taught guitarist and generally do not rock very hard.
I am currently enrolled in the MBA program at Drake University. Focusing on my coursework has curtailed my 'hobbies' somewhat, but I plan to graduate in Fall of 2013.
I am partial to travel, cats, black licorice and peanut butter.
