God I just don't get Radiohead. I can understand it's different, it's not the usual dreck, and there's the added satisfaction that you sort of get with jazz (listening to it makes you an intellectual)... but it does nothing for me.

Sorry for raining on the parade.

I'll admit: I didn't "get" Radiohead right away. (No, I take that back: I heard a few moments of "OK Computer" and knew I had to have it).

I've had to warm up to a couple of their albums. However, once you get in the groove -- wow. And they're great with headphones: lots of painstaking detail in the production that you can miss upon casual listening.

I thought the track posted here was exceptional. (Although I do miss the horns from the studio version.)

Radiohead and Battles are really the only two bands worth listening to at the moment. I can't wait until the current rap, rage, punk, consumo-pop melting pot finally breaks. Freakin sick of that garbage already.

Originality is in rare supply these days.

Good post Mac. The videos from that show are amazing.

Denny (and Mac), also check out a band called Black Moth Super Rainbow. You can find their video for "Sun Lips" off the album "Dandelion Gum" on the Youtube.

I'm not holding my breath.
