Nothing tarted up as nihilism
I had a vague idea for a long-ish post about Radiohead, but I stumbled across this blog entry (and, in particular, the phrase used as the title of this post) which nails them exactly.
The only thing I’d add is that Radiohead clearly do have some musical talent, as evidenced by The Darkness’s metal cover of ‘Street Spirit’ or Brad Mehldau’s drum-and-bass inspired jazz version of ‘Paranoid Android’. Unfortunately, they’ve managed to target themselves precisely at an ‘intelligent’ rock audience that only has room for middlebrow mediocrity.
