I have read an article somewhere (new yorker?) saying that radiohead 
really have their shit together when it comes to playing their more 
electronic material live. it sounded like they go full on with analogue 
synths and stuff. sounds like a commendable effort to me. not that i'm 
endorsing this kind of behaviour (pop music and "aesthetics of 
failure") in general, heheh.
