Clay, Tres, and I were once again rocking out on a fine Thursday evening when we all spontaneously began playing a strange calypso groove. None of us had ever practiced or played calypso in our lives but our minds latched onto it like steel traps and we couldn’t stop even if we wanted. [...]

Radiohead has a new album out. Normally this wouldn’t be so terribly newsworthy…they’re a prolific band and even though their music is sweet, it’s usually not so earth-shattering as to be reported on kirkhamdotcom.
