I saw this awful movie called THE BRAVE ONE. Starring Jodie Foster and a bit similiar to Taxi Driver, actually (person in NYC wants to make a difference in their city and decides to become a vigilante). Anyway, this guy steals a girl's ipod, looks through the list, and goes "Radiohead? Bitch, I want you to give me some Radio head." An awful line that is repeated in a dream sequence later.

Well, I've heard a lot of stuff Radiohead have been influenced by, and it doesn't make me like them any less. Shrug. I guess I appreciate the fact that a mainstream (from time to time) band would be creative (admittedly, that's debatable) enough to try and include some more obscure influences in their music. And you have to admit that it takes balls to follow up a record many critics called a reinvention of guitar rock with an almost wholy electronic album. Maybe I'm just not on some relentless quest to have every band I listen to sound like something 100% original...
But yeah, that line does suck.
