Radiohead Rush

The anti-Arcade Fire:


I love how in this video, Thom Yorke is a marionette
whose strings are being pulled by the music.


These guys are otherworldly. They do what every dopey indie-rock band wishes they can do but can only pretend to do.

Hey Look everybody! A band that actually possesses vision, artistry, unparalleled musicianship and amazing sounding recordings! Novel, ain't it?! If you go obnoxiously around saying how much you prefer "Lo-Fi" recordings, you're just belying your misguided affinity for rudimentary recording equipment and terrible engineering.

I can't believe I live in a world where Radiohead has never won a Grammy for Album of the Year, and the much lesser band, Arcade Fire has.

Way to go Grammys!!! -- Getting it right since Jethro Tull won over Metallica for best metal performance! I mean at least they've been nominated, right? For instance, Radiohead's Kid A was nominated for Album of the Year in 2001, but they unfortunately lost ... to Steely Dan.

STEELY DAN!

Oh, and in case you were wondering, I'm far from finished with this topic…
