I thought you'd like her because she collaborated with Coldplay
That was the moment I gave up on Coldplay for good. That song might be the worst thing in recorded music history.
Anyway, my point being that it shouldn't really matter how many people like Radiohead. They do what they want. I have a feeling that this album will be seen as an all-time great album, but maybe people will love it less than me.

I swear I went to highschool with a hundred little proto-Rihanna hoodrats, and they all sounded just like her.
Hmm, is this racist?
Not racist, per se, no. "Hoodrats" can be any race. Sexist and "slut-shaming" perhaps. But not necessarily racist.

For what it's worth, Radiohead still has a pretty big audience and surfndestroy's comment was a pretty strange observation, but this is the same guy who once insisted history wouldn't remember Bob Dylan (or some similarly ridiculous argument).

One of these days I'll listen to this album. Probably once it's available in some sort of physical form. I don't know if I want to just download it.

I never said they were sluts; I claim no knowledge of their sexual activities.
Umm... it's inherent in the term you used.

Oh, yeah, and an orchestra on tour would be cool, too. I guess.

I've read your post a couple of times, surfndestroy, and I can't figure out what your point is. The two sentences above in particular are complete head scratchers.

I'm having a tough time keeping up with Jorge's RM standings today. Is he a hero or a heel? This will have bearing on any potential apology I may deliver.
The platypus is the alpha and the omega; he's all things at all times to all people.

24 hours after the RH release and someone's having to apologize to platypus for being a hoodrat. This is a new level, even for RM.
