You know, I wrote a radio head post about yesterday, Marchman,

0:15.2

and there's no better way of bringing bros out of the Facebook comment framework

0:19.8

than just writing anything about Radiohead? Because he's so

0:23.1

whiny, fuck Radiohead, not rock.

0:27.0

You know how to be a fan of Radiohead?

0:29.0

Don't listen to their shit music.

0:33.2

0:34.9

they're still around. You know, when

0:36.1

I always, I see, to me, Radiohead, even though they, for a long time, they were one of my favorite bands, I always thought, like, I always hated them because they came out with, you know, they were like a one-hit wonder act.

And a couple of years after the Ben's came out, a friend of mine whose, you know, musical taste I was really into who was like, hey, man, you know, you remember that one hit Wonder Band?

2:01.1

Like the Eagles would come out for a reunion tour and I'd be like, you know, can the Jumbotron fall on them?

2:06.6

So we never have to fucking listen to them again.

2:08.6

And now I feel that way.

2:10.6

It's good to know that I hate the acts of my youth the same way I hated the acts of other people's youth.

2:17.7
