Further proof of my life's synchronicity (although I realize I have yet to offer any) comes from the Radiohead biography link on the Capitol Records site. Describing the new song "The Gloaming," Colin Greenwood says:

"Then towards the end of the record I read a 'Murakami' book called "Wind-Up Bird Chronicles" and it all fell into place in my head."

All the pieces, falling into place. I like it.

"Sometimes we bring heartache upon ourselves."
