Thanks to Xenia and you (and Jake, via <A HREF="http://members.fortunecity.com/mistybz/j_view.html" REL="nofollow">Misty</A>, via WDW and JW), I just drove back and forth from my appointment while singing along exuberantly to <I>The Bends</I>. I don't think Thom <I>is</I> a "whiner," just that there is sometimes a whine in his voice. And no, based on the few instances I've heard Jake (campy "Land of the Lost," western and drunk "Water Walking Jesus," falsetto "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going," and falsetto "Night Fever"), there is definitely no whine in his singing voice. Just a lot of clever obfuscation. Hmmm...that gave me a great idea.Cheritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08185196623271672158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305595870249739387.post-86320232897376259992007-08-28T12:13:00.000-04:002007-08-28T12:13:00.000-04:00You def need to bust out the Radiohead cd's. My fa...You def need to bust out the Radiohead cd's. My fav album was The Bends. Thom Yorke isn't a whiner, he's just a very sad man.He sounds like he is anyway. As far as Jake's voice, I don't find him whiny. I think he has a beautiful voice. He could sing to me anytime.BirdGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12936600787347418353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305595870249739387.post-79266858364062175382007-08-28T10:57:00.000-04:002007-08-28T10:57:00.000-04:00Thanks, Ged!

I welcome everyone to experience the zen of Jake as I do, in addition to whatever other sources they choose to seek their daily dose.

So you're telling me that Xenia has just suggested that Jake sounds like yet another whiner? ;) Now I really have to listen to some White Stripes to get to the bottom of all this.<BR/><BR/>Xenia, I didn't see where you and I disagreed about Jake, but yes, I do think Thom occasionally sounds a bit whiny. It's pretty subtle, though, so like I said, it's never bothered me, and he does have a terrific voice. I used to have <I>Pablo Honey</I> on repeat for days at a time. I haven't listened to any Radiohead in a while...time to go dig out those CDs and put everything on the computer, like I've been meaning to do for a couple of years now. I'm such a procrastinator!Cheritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08185196623271672158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305595870249739387.post-77795385667866850162007-08-28T08:30:00.000-04:002007-08-28T08:30:00.000-04:00"Why are you sorry?"

Sometimes the greatness of the music overtakes the voice.

I just said I didn't like him, either. Just that his voice has sex. That doesn't mean I <I>like</I> it. It's rather whiny to my ears. :x<BR/><BR/>Now, Thom Yorke's voice is also somewhat whiny, depending on the song, but it's never bothered me. (I can listen to entire Radiohead CDs, but don't own more than the one song by Maroon 5, if that tells you anything.) However, I cannot picture Yorke's voice coming out of Jake's mouth, either.<BR/><BR/><I>I dare to suggest a Jack White's voice resemblance</I><BR/><BR/>Here's how old and out of touch I am: I had to look that name up. :p I can't remember if I've ever heard a thing by the White Stripes, though I've certainly heard <I>of</I> them.

Now that should be 'sexual'!! :)Xeniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06765946694633468339noreply@blogger.com
