radiohead, freshman year at ohio state

i used to be a huge radiohead fan in my freshman year at the ohio state university in columbus ohio. the year two thousand and three the month was september and i was just moving into my dorm room named morrison tower on eleventh avenue on the ohio state university campus designated primarily for first years also known as freshman. i had two roommates, but over the course of the year, many left, and were replaced, and left. mark and rem were the first generation, and then as they both left i had a large football player. following him was a drug dealer named eddie and finally a thai gay former restaurant worker Oui. that rounded out my year. i myself was involved with drugs as im calling alcohol now, and many new faces and sounds. it was a year of discovery and destruction.

but much of my time was spent at my desk facing my computer screen listening to various bands one of them being Radiohead. i was recently turned onto torrenting and i had managed to pick up every album by the band and was just listening through years worth of work. these guys began their odyssey in the 90s and even earlier if you count the years before they were famous. so for me to pick them up in 2003 was to take a look after a great deal of work had been done. but i was hooked, and i listened quite a bit to their music.
