Re: Why I prefer Van Halen to Radiohead

Yes, I saw that documentary .. Meeting People Is Easy .. and I also though that they came across as deeply self-important, a bit affected.

As I mentioned before, rock bands who think they're somehow 'better' or above, say, tap dancing poodles are profoundly mistaken. That's why whenever I see rock stars embracing causes or speaking out about some issue, I chuckle quietly to myself. Chris Martin is uniquely vacuous in this respect. A man who shows his deep commitment by drawing marks on his hand with a felt tip pen. Thom York speaking out on whatever cause du jour is another case in point.

Also, while I'm in Radiohead rant mode, I would humbly suggest that an average Cardiacs song contains more interesting musical ideas than that band's entire back catalogue.
