MD Plays a Song: Radiohead’s Black Star

For my next excursion, I had planned to hike to the tippy-top of one of the many hills around my stomping grounds. Many of these peaks can afford spectacular views of the valley, the ocean in the distance, and possibly the sprawling LA cityscape on the horizon.

Alas, the climb to the top of this particular peak was taking longer than I had anticipated, and the sun was getting lower. So I hunkered down on a relatively flat spot with at least views of a nice, green hillside. Note: bring helicopter next time.

I’ve had a thing for this song since about the time it used to play on a jukebox at a pizza place I worked at in college, back when there were jukeboxes. I might have even bought The Bends solely because of it, and my perennial love for Radiohead (see rambling post). It’s a sweet album, you should give it a listen even if you’re not sure about Radiohead.

Anyway, enjoy. You can also check out more videos like this at our YouTube channel.

Oh yeah, and you'll want to download my book.
