I picked up using white gaff tape from a former band member and if I can help it that's all I've bought for 20+ years. Also you can use a normal black Sharpie on it instead of trying to find some white/silver/etc color market to stand out.

I ma on the silver duct tape front here. A black sharpie goes very well with it.

Of the colors suggested, yeah, the old standard silver/gray is still the winner for me.

I can understand why one would want to use a different color to stand out.

As far as Radiohead, I'll have to add them to the very long list of artists that produce music that I like/liked but can't stand (some of) the politics of (members of) the band. Oh well. I didn't have plans to hang out with them anyway.

Duct tape leaves sticky shit all over the place, which is the entire reason to use gaff tape instead!

We don't have that shit in the old Yugo land over here. The duct tape just hit the stores a couple years back.

As always one golden rule always applies: Less in more. The less I know the more I can tolerate in this instance.

J.K. Rowling should join as their interpretive dancer a la The Mighty Mighty Bosstones.

I don't disagree. Anyway, I probably won't be following The Smile anytime soon.

Never heard one song by them in my life. I intend to keep it that way. The later Radiohead phase rubbed me the wrong way. I kinda figured it can only get worse with a new band, although everyone collectively fell into a trans when they played here in Zagreb three years ago.
