Yeah I remember Roger Waters sending that open letter to Radiohead years ago saying hey maybe don't play in Israel, but Thom completely dismissing it saying 'then we shouldn't play in the US either' which was kinda correct but still it was then I realized Roger Waters is a thousand times cooler than Thom and his band. Really too bad.
I hope Coogan is cool. He certainly seems sympathetic in some of his audiobook and podcast screeds as Alan Partridge (albeit by playing a horribly reactionary Tory)
I don’t have to hope. I know they won’t do any of things to me because 1. I live half way across the world and 2. I don’t support genocide against Palestinians
I've worked with Radiohead fans. They'd play through that whole trite discography and I'd just have to put up with shitty electronic elements and impotent moaning for hours. And then years later I found out they sucked as people, too.
Radiohead is at its best when it's someone else covering Radiohead. OK Computer is a brilliant album and I haven't listened to the original in years. It has songs that Brad Mehldau can turn into 19 minute jazz piano solos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aD-b1j_huxY) and that a cello octet can reinterpret (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FF99S5Y8mV4). The original has all that complexity held back by generic 1990s alt-rock instrumentation. Radiohead is the most boring Radiohead cover band.
i don't think they will, but i appreciate the thought, sharona. i hope your anus doesn't prolapse spontaneously while you are delivering a speech to a room full of people.
