LOL. When did I say I DIDN'T like the album, and I DIDN'T like the
performance? I do. My email was in response to what someone said about
radiohead using a casio and a theremin. LOTS of people do that, but because
Radiohead did it on national TV, people SAW THEM, and they get recognition
for it. Don't be such an ass. You're so defensive, lol.
<<this is the best part - that somehow other people using a theremin is
cool but when radiohead do it the technique becomes some sort of
strategy towards hipness that they're employing ... god! think about it,
man! >>
When did I ever say that Radiohead is not allowed to do it? I think it's
great that they were doing that... But once again, you completely missed my
point. My point was that people think "wow, i never thought of using a casio
and a theremin live, and Radiohead did. They're so cool." When in fact
people have been doing it for years, it's just not as visible. god! think
about it, man!
<<or is it that you resent the lack of success that more obscure artists
have found when they've employed techniques which, in this instance,
have further contributed to radiohead's press coverage and record sales?>>
Nope, not at all.
<<at any rate you aren't evaluating music and success in any sort of
rational way.
quoted 1 line>>
When did I ever evaluate the music and success, I believe my post never
mentioned anything about that.
Anyway,
