We all know Radiohead is one of my favorite bands of all time. And their song let down is one of my favorite songs of all time. My own little treasure. Perfection, from a perfect record. It belongs to me and no one else.
So imagine my utter disgust when I learned tonight that it has become a new hit, making it onto the stupid billboard top 100, nearly 30 years after its release. and do you know why?
Do you know why????
BECAUSE OF TIK TOK.
These gd bastards. I used to get mad about my beloved songs being in commercials. That seems quaint now. Charming even.
Not tik tok. NOT TIK TOK. not like this.
Lousy kids. stay away from my let down. Stay away! You don’t know what it means you don’t understand it you ?leave it alone. Leave it alone.
Because of this sudden popularity, tho, I’m seeing live performances of Radiohead ?all over instagram now, and that I don’t mind. late 90s early 2000 Radiohead? Sir please may I have some more.
If I had a time machine, forget going back to kill hitler or trump or whatever. I would go back to 1999, maybe 2001, and find thom yorke. That was peak sexy. Absolute peak. what I would do for an hour with him (back then).
I guess the other positive is they announced a new mini tour. In Europe of course. But if they came to the US, I don’t know if I could go. They are all old and gross. It’s hard to see. Especially because that means that I am old and gross.
Why does tik tok have to ruin everything.
