FOR THE TRUE HEADS

i don't give a FUCK... RADIOHEAD is the shit! if you don't know what the deal is, get hip quick. because if you ask me, this is THE MOST IMPORTANT BAND IN THE WORLD TODAY. not the largest. that's Bono and the boys from U2. and not to minimize the altruistic work of Bono, or the music ("The Joshua Tree" is fly 'cause "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" and "All That You Can't Leave Behind" just for "Beautiful Day" alone), but actually pushing the boundaries of music forward, in composition, in arrangement, in technology, in business, in the lead, is Radiohead.these dudes make the type of music that catches you off guard, but it's not...
