Radiohead plays in my head most weekdays. There is always an underbelly of hope in even the gloomiest of their tunes. With The Bends, I have to have to spin until that last lyric:
.iMMerse your soUL in LOVE.

#NowPlaying the masterpiece that is Radiohead's "The Bends" (1995). This is a first pressing I bought in HMV Bath on release day. Worth a bit these days, I understand...

Wonder if Taylor Swift was giving a nod to this Springsteen tune when she sang, “I hit the ground running each night
I hit the Sunday matinée” on Folklore.

The “solutions” look a little dizzy to me!

A Physical Therapy office sign says, “We have solutions for dizziness and vertigo,” but the letters in “solutions” are tilted looking quite dizzy
