Father pondered why anyone would pay for "this garbage" when given the option.
Mother remarked that "for the biggest band in the world they're hardly household names are they? who's the frontman again? Johnny Borrell?"
How does one go about disowning family members?
forget disowning parents
the legal process would take years.
just hire a wood chipper, grind them down, then skip the country.
you can take my car.
Cos it's like totally the normal thing for old people should listen to glitch influenced alt rock, i
OK that didn't make sense but you get the idea.
get the idea but
don't see why our parents generation should be any less likely to enjoy radiohead than neil diamond.
'Father'
'Mother'
'One'
jesus christ.
I'm trying to
distance myself from the situation.
HOLY FUCK
THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE!??!
father will you drive me down to the country club
i said i would meet arabella for a quick game of water polo
ra ra ra ra
I say old bean
sorry henners, perhaps we can make up supping a few pints in the country club dear chap?
No time for prayers
we are talking about Radiohead
yeh we shd totally disown
him from teh internets.
Faintly formal language? On a bigotted little forum like this? Heaven forfend!
Just run to
your bedroom and paint the walls black, because no-one except Thom Yorke understaaaands you.
I played it in the car to my mum once
she got about half way thruogh and I had to turn it off cos she said it was to depressing, she had a point.
She will happily sit thru an Acoustic Ladyland album full of in your face Jazz/rock antics though.
I had 15 Step on in the car and mum said
the drumming is all out of time but I like the little kiddies sheering in it.
I love her quite a bit. :D
It was my dad that got me into Radiohead
He came to see them the last 2 times with me! I've just gave him Animal Collective to listen to, how cool is he?!
Radiohead are pretty boring anyway.
You'll get over it.
Listen to Myxomatosis again
and realise how wrong you are.
Um, no.

How does one go about disowning family members?
Why? Do they want to abandon you because you're plainly a moron?
LIEk OmG my REnTZ ARE LIEK SOOO UNCOOL. Chill out Beavis and Butthead...
hey isthisinteresting
have you ever posted something which isn't needlessly aggressive?
i think you need to work on the breadth of your material. Maybe work something intelligent or amusing into it
kthxxxbi
only joking pal
I love them really. Cheers xxxx
Sounds spot on to me.
My dad hearts it. And now my mum does to.
My dad's fucking cool.
For my mum, though, this is a very random and isolated acquisition of taste.
In Rainbows is amazing.
Haven't gauged my dad's opinion...
I think his last Radiohead investment was 'I Might Be Wrong'
My mum
likes westlife, she will not like Radiohead.
But she likes Vampire Weekend, I think it's cos there quirky and happy.
At least they didn't confuse Radiohead with Coldplay
My Dad said "I like Radiohead, I've got a couple of their albums, you know, the one with Yellow on it". I corrected him and said that was Coldplay, then he proceeded to ask, were Coldplay the ones who adopted the pay what you want strategy for their album...since I moved out, they're not in the loop.
Tell your parents to listen to In Rainbows on a loop for a week, or just play it loudly in your room so they have to hear it :) I defy anyone who can't at least appreciate what a brilliant album it is!
Well my mum loves Radiohead full stop.
But my Dad gave me my headphones back after 30 seconds of House of Cards shaking his head. And then we went to McDonalds.
Classic for starting the thread with "father pondered..."
No-one don't speak proper English no more innit.
my parents..
... came to the south park gig. Hurrah for parents that listen to Radiohead. I've also just realised this means my parents have seen Sigur Ros as much as me.
of course you could
buy Pyramids' s/t album and try that on them
I quote from Pitchfork: 'one ... staffer compared this debut to "someone disemboweling a Radiohead record," '
- if they sit in gobsmacked awe and silent wonderment, you will know that it is them trying to disown you
hahah
:)
my parents dislike most of what i listen to really
they say its unpleasant.
OMGZ SHOCK OF THE WEEK
i randomly got my dad
into the Sleepy Jackson the other day my leaving the Cd in his CD player.
i agree with your Dad: i think it's shite.
