The English composers Radiohead are having a brief residency in New York.C'mon Alex, they're a band, a rock band, that loosely remind me of Pink Floyd, and a rather dull one at that.

But about the only cut that I enjoyed was "Fitter Happier".
Now it is entirely possible that I am as dull-witted as those early critics of the Beatles I was just trashing; after all, they sold 4.5 million copies of OK Computer.
