Wanna Be In My Gang?

... What is far more fascinating is the way true fanatics can see aesthetic consistencies within the seemingly unremarkable. Until glancing at these photographs, I had never realised that the defining quality of a diehard Radiohead fan was the wearing of a diagonal strap across one's torso. What does that even mean? What do these people hear on Bodysnatchers that makes this visual determination so self-evident? It's not like this extraneous strap is some kind of widespread youth trend that lead guitarist Jonny Greenwood is spearheading; this is not like thousands of teenagers getting Beatles haircuts because that's the style of the time. It is not a look that will spill over into conventional society.

This personal choice has something to do with proving that you are not like a normal person, and it suggests you understand something about Radiohead that the average citizen cannot see or hear or feel. It goes to the nucleus of why pop music matters - at its highest levels of achievement, rock'n'roll is supposed to serve as "lifestyle music". It should have the potential to inform every single decision about being alive. And for these photogenic goofballs, it obviously does.

Thank you for posting this. I had no idea about this look. Call me old and out of touch. I would stick out at a Radiohead concert.

Or you could put you put your mouth around the exhaust pipe of a travel bus.

Dalton, come on. You know that's out of line.

 

[RedRocksU2]

That's me on the far left.

 

[lazarus]

And hey, there's MadForIt on the far, far right.

Not talking about the picture.

I would stick out at a Radiohead concert.

You could join joyful and me in the hot and gorgeous section.

That is a wonderful idea.

Well, I had nothing to say, so I'll just post:

Optimistic and Idioteque are grrrreat!

 

[cobl04]

Hey. I enjoyed the hell out of that movie. I think Oasis suck balls.

 

[Dalton]

Nearly

I dont know why you guys keep bringing that up
I stand by what i said - bad parenting = in kids turning to knife crime
Kids in UK have lost the plot for 2 reasons

1. Bad Parents
2. The Labour Government

Knife Crime has been around a LOT longer than the Labour Government.

GREED is the knife.

Yep, that lineup definitely needs a collective punch in the mouth.

Judging people on how they look

and climbing up the walls as the worst okc song. Hell no. That ending is out of this world. Easily my favorite radiohead song.

It's official: my favorite Radiohead track now is The Tourist...

It's been some time since I felt like this hearing a song.

I'm so disappointed in you, Laz.

 

[MadForIt]

i think 15 step has moved into my top 5 radiohead tracks

Actually, I judged them first for being big Oasis fans. And they looked exactly like I expected them to.

 

[impy13]

First you reel me out and then you knife the string.

[Dalton]

First you reel me out and then you knife the string.

If by knifing that string you caused injury to anyone or damage to property not belonging directly to you, then it was a KNIFE CRIME!

In case people spot Lazarus and his awful driving skills...

You're reaching with this one.

And I like the fact that the bottom right of the license plate is in the Coldplay font. A nice juxtaposition with the name Lazarus.

 

[lazarus]

Ironically, I lived in New Mexico for a year.

But no vanity plates...

 

[joyfulgirl]

I swear to God, I'VE SEEN THAT PLATE.

His son's taking him on a sensual journey. Give the guy a break.

Radiohead in auto-pilot, I find it a very disappointing song. Got tired of it quickly.....

Tracks through 2 to 9 are pure heaven.

 

[lazarus]

Uh oh. Looks like we're gonna have another knock down, drag out Gallagher brother brawl...
