radiohead are all dads or wannabe dads for mother gaia and thom yorke keeps getting up in the middle of the night to pee and thumb through his old copy of no logo from 1999 that's been sitting next to his medication cabinet gathering dust since he bought it. he is animated only by concerns for his lawn and the vague idea of doing something cool in a leather jacket on the bbc once but he can't remember what and is too embarrassed to ask his personal assistant in case it's a proto alzhiemic hallucination and not an actual memory.
johnathon grenwood the 3rd is only capable of mustering enthusiasm for buying new shirts in top shop which he's been doing for almost 30 years. it started as an attempt to look like thurston and signal that he was cooler than the standard alt guitar wank he really was but didn't realize that dressing like thurston is exactly what loser mainstream alts did because they didn't realize how mainstream thurston actually is. being all fey and experimental got him this far and shitty wes anderson movies will get him through another few years until the lanky fuck eventually disintegrates into plastic wire hangers in a box in top shop and everyone including the spouse and kids he may or may not have instantly forgets he ever exists.
the other guy got lost in b&q and ended up a member of staff there.
i think that's all the members of radiohead except matt bellamay. anyway, who even cares?
real dads do things like earn money and raise kids but you guys are just sad dadz and there was a whole simpons episode detailing what has become of you you fat jamaican narcs. |
im on this guys side. this is far more unintentionally unfunny but true than it should be.
anything that's played on guitars is dad rock now. i lernt tdis in 2005. dead_battery did too, that's why he reads books only now and occasionally listens to post post post no-wave bands.
