Music Monday – “Time came a-creeping, oh, and time’s a loaded gun/Every road is a ray of light/It goes on, time only can lead you on/Still, it’s such a beautiful night”

(Belated) Music Monday – “Abandon all reason/Avoid all eye contact/Do not react/Shoot the messengers”

I forgot to do a Music Monday post yesterday but it worked out okay because this video showed up in my News Feed today! Most people figured a new Radiohead song/album was imminent as Radiohead, already known for very unique albums releases, had done something very unique in the past few days.
