The Timeless Grandeur and Ineffable Genius of Radiohead
I’ve loved them for ages, but this is by far the most brilliant live performance I have ever heard in the history of rock and roll — possibly in the history of recorded music.

Hilarious . . . if I saw that on the street, I’d assume it was an insane homeless person.

No insult to insane homeless people, most of whom are better singers than that.

Oh right, Radiohead. Veritable Paganinis of musical ideas.

I really liked that guy’s work on the comedy noise box. I’m a sucker for “boing” sounds.

You know, that’s weirdly compelling. Also hilarious, but weirdly compelling.

Very recently, I had a conversation about how it is okay to just not “get” all of Radiohead’s music. To this video, I say yes. Yes, thank you…

Should everyone be let in on the joke?

By no deliberate choice, I remain utterly immune to the charms of Radiohead.

OK, never mind, I should have known that was just a joke overdub. The real video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8e59Z949Pq4&feature=related Not bad.
