Radiohead
decklin:
*titters* you people are funny. Well OK, just that one guy with the dictionary.
Seriously, though, I think this area of criticism/culture is fascinating. So true story: I was killing some time before the BSS show last night in Raven (used books) and I found Eisenstein's _Film Form_ and _Film Sense_. Fantastic stuff. The critics of montage! It blows the mind, today. Now I have a better touchpoint whenever I hear someone spit something reactionary toward Radiohead. This is not to elevate them to the same *level* as Mr. Sergei himself, but it is truly something to be able to trace this whole meme further and further thru time: theorists who have an impact primarily thru art, artists who have an impact primarily on theory, people who are both, or vice versa, or... etc.
Like I said, I like what I like. You find fewer people who begrudge you taking anything as more than aesthetics/entertainment in film than you do in music; that (apparently) hasn't changed. ;-)
[I am tempted to make a Gang of Four reference here, but, I'll leave it...]

This is one of the most masturbatory things I have ever read. How long did you search through the thesaurus before you found the word "parochial"?
--- End quote ---
And you complain about "parochial"? WTF?
sjbrot:
Damnit, MilkmanDan, it makes sense it context!
--- Quote from: decklin ---but I read it as a transfiguration of/commentary on/reverse concordance to/cryptogrammatic reconfiguration of the phenomenology of Kid A (and the surface of all this that it managed to scratch at points)
--- End quote ---
Wait, no, it really doesn't.
MilkmanDan:
Oh yeah, when you add in "reverse concordance to", the whole sentence is suddenly a briskly-flowing mountain stream of sparkling clarity and unobfuscation. Though I just used the word "unobfuscation", so I guess I'm not really in a position to critisise.
