SubscribeIn a perfect world I wouldn’t even be aware of Radiohead.
Like everyone else, somehow I have a copy of OK Computer on CD. Unlike the rest of the world I think it’s a piece of shit. I have no idea how I ended up with the CD, but then again I have no idea how I ended up with a large brick with the word ELECTRICY written on it either.
Over the last few years I’ve found it quite easy to avoid mediocre crap like Radiohead – I don’t listen to the radio and avoid buying anything from quality music outlets like Tesco or service stations.
Long story short I don’t care about their fucking stupid new album and the ‘innovative’ way they released it.
Now I can’t turn around without hearing or reading about it (small mercies, I haven’t heard any of the actual whining on it) which seems to me a little unfair.
But I have a solution.
On their website you need three options. One button that says ‘Download and pay fuckall because I have a low IQ but I’m not THAT stupid‘, another button that says ‘I’m a moron so I’ll download and pay something I feel is hip‘ and a third button for people like me that says ‘We’re sorry for annoying you. Please press here and we’ll deposit $10 in your Paypal account for the inconvenience caused by our parents and their fear of contraception‘.
Someone drop me an email when it’s done, ok.
I feel the need to confess. I’ve downloaded this album, paid a whole penny for it even (plus the 45p charge), but to be honest I have still to unzip the file and listen to the damned thing. Can’t be arsed now…
What is ELECTRICY???
I soooooo agree with you.
Radiohead are the ultimate boredom generator, they are a killer machine built to smash human testicles and unleashed in the wild.
Although being targeted at a completely different kind of rotting moron they are the single mainstream band… no, wait, they’re not mainstream, they’re an… an… INDIE BAND OOOWWW HOW CUTE, well, they are the mainstream indie band that goes closest to that flock of brainless fucktards that goes by the name of “extreme metal scene”: just think about it, have you ever tried to mislabel all of your friends’ True Black Methaaaaargh (TM) CDs and see if they notice any difference (they won’t, by the way)?
If not, it’s definitely something you gotta do before you die.
And, well, same happens with Radiohead. Oh, at least, their output is steady.
And excuse me for my shitty English, there will surely be some inconceivably bad mistakes, but I really nhave no intention whatsoever to read through the whole post again.
