Are There Any Pop Culture Things You Are Obsessed about?
I have followed Eels from the outset, with 'E's solo stuff included. I love his fearless honesty and willingness to use his own life as a source of inspiration, especially as it hasn't exactly always been very nice for him. Really interesting guy.
I love old sci-fi especially older 60's and 70's stuff. UK Sci-fi like 'Blakes Seven' is brilliant, especially the really awful sets and costumes.
Scandinavian crime novels - Nordic Noir - likes of Jo Nesbo, Camilla Lackberg, Hakan Nesser, Yrsa Sigurdardottir and the daddy of them all, Arnaldur Indridasen. cannot get enough. Currently totally lost in the original Icelandic sagas, but not sure they count as 'Pop Culture'

These are "casual" obsessions because they don't last very much, but they still give me the weird tingly "love" feeling
Glad to know someone else is addicted to Radiohead, I have been obsessed with the band for about 6 years now and have not tired of them at all. Absolutely wonderful band. I often wonder why more people with aspergers are not into them, they seem very aspie to me and Thom Yorke appears very socially awkward in interviews.
For me it's lasted foor about six months now, but I'm still in the honeymoon phase
I actually think Thom has gotten better at interviews, but when he was young he looked really really really uncomfortable (Jonny too of course, he hardly says anything in the interviews I've watched). I empathised a lot with Thom watching "meeting people is easy".
I like to ridcule the mainstream you could call that an obsession , all along I was ridculed growing up for my :" special intrests" now these jokers are all doing it eg video games I was right all along !

Yeah, I can definitely empathize with Johnny as well. I do not know whether that is him being shy or whether he is just rather indifferent to the questions and finds it easier to express himself through his music. He may feel that his fellow band members have more thoughts on the musical process and thus just allows them to answer. I don't know though. Yes! Meeting People is Easy is fantastic and I can empathize a lot as you can it seems- not having alot to say to people in interviews, the depression of living in the city, being surrounded by people who do not truly appreciate the work of your music but listened to creep and became fans after that one 'hit'. Apparently Thom Yorke was very depressed during that era and felt extremely suidical, which I can imagine is the case for a lot of celebrities who have to appear in the spotlight and a lot of pressure is on them to perform on stage and off. To me, meeting people is easy seemed very anti-capitalistic- the desolate shots of trains, people looking depressed on transport. There is one bit when Thom Yorke says the West is a massive Loan shark to third world countries., which I found interesting.

Granted, I was into both of those before they became popular.
you could say the same with gta , 3 being my faverouite, 4 was a turd burger v was a flashy product that will become as fashionable as disco balls in a few years time , I think I'll just stick to Yakuza....
