Reassessing Radiohead by Sasha Frere-Jones
The New Yorker, June 26, 2006
. . . “OK Computer” is this generation’s “Dark Side of the Moon”—complex and catchy songs surrounded by wobbly, atmospheric music that suggests that the band is up to more than fans will ever figure out, even if they listen to the album every day.
joyfulgirl said:Wow, I really don't get your beef with the article at all. I found it intelligent, not pretentious, and honest, and very favorable towards the band even after establishing upfront that she had not been previously been a fan. I did not find the quote you singled out in the least bit offensive, not to fans nor to the band. I interpreted it as meaning that she recognizes the band has a lot of depth, so much so that a fan can actually hear something new everytime they listen to Ok Computer. I'm actually not all that interested in reading only rave reviews about any band I like. I like constructive criticism. I appreciated the time and thought she put into listening to and trying to understand a band that all her friends were into but she hadn't been able to get into until now.
Also, The New Yorker is above all else a literary magazine. Of course its writers are not going to be your standard rock critics and I appreciate the fresh point of view.

Bono's shades said:I thought the article was saying that Radiohead's music is so complex that if defies understanding by anyone, not just fans. I think the word "fan" was used because those are the people who are going to be listening to the albums every day, not people who hate Radiohead or are indifferent to them.
angelordevil said:The thing I like about the article is how the author was apparently prepared to hate the band, but in the end, was completely convinced of their uniqueness. That was my impression, anyway. She's a little brazen at times, and the Grateful Dead comment had me rolling my eyes (it seems every band and their dog will eventually earn the GD tag if they stick around long enough - i.e., Pearl Jam, R.E.M.)

FitzChivalry said:Does anyone know where I could find, or else you have, the last show of the recent tour . . . the one at the Greek Theatre in L.A. I know it was on a Friday . . . I think it was June 30th.
My friend just gave me Bonnaroo, Boston June 4, Boston June 5 and Copenhagen May 6.
But I would really like the show I went to, if possible.
Any info would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Interferencers!
