I love the last guy, who doesn't have time to slow down, yet accurately anticipates the follow-up question, and shouts "I'm paying 2 pounds, 48 pence!" while walking backwards towards his urgent appointment.

I heard for their concerts they’re switching to a Little Rascals economic model and copying that episode where Spanky and Alfalfa put on a play and let everyone pay for it on the way out. If you like the show you pay for your ticket and if you don’t, you don’t have to pay for nuthin’.

I’m too old for them I guess-I could never get over the fact that their name reminded me of a really mediocre Talking Heads song.

FYI that "poor" girl was carrying Whole Foods bags.

Also, yes, I was operating on the assumption (bad! I know!) that the album would be released on Tuesday (today, I guess). Obviously I don't particularly care about Radiohead (except for The Bends). Luckily that NYU boy was nice enough to inform me of my mistake without being too mean. I did feel stupid, though!

Let me break this down for you:

"How much are you gonna pay for the new Radiohead album?"

--- "Oh, probably $12-$15"

"Ok, the camera's off now, no one's around, no one's looking. How much are you really gonna pay?"

--- "Duh! Nothin', of course!"

what the hell is on the girl’s head? is that even a girl? i refuse to watch the video, but it looks like someone pulled something out of the dead cat bag and is wearing it as a haircut.

@mike a: that's what makes it like voting. one generation is expecting the other to pick up the slack at the "polls". when neither one does, the result is a double negative.

if the plan succeeds, it still doesn't matter because we're talking about radiohead. indie bands can't afford to do something like this. nobody really wins except radiohead.

Am I only the person who is just completely over Radiohead? It made me feel like the shit in high school, now I can barely listen to it. Those CD’s have gotten thrown in a case with all my DMB and MxPx from back in the day.

How does this all fit into a “generational” paradigm? There are 16-year-olds and 55-year-olds equally interested in how this all plays out.

I wasn’t going to buy the actual CD, but now that the download is only 160KBps, I’ll probably buy it so I can rip at a higher quality.

Remember when Hail To The Thief came out, and nobody gave a shit? I miss those days.

I’m sorry, I think this whole Radiohead charade…it’s like asking people to turn out to vote. They might, they might not, but either way the candidate will win because it doesn’t matter to them how many votes they get.
