"Artists need to make money to eat and to continue to make art. Artists used to rely on middlemen to collect their money on their behalf, thereby rendering themselves innocent of cash-handling in the public eye. Artists will now be coming straight to you (yes YOU, you who want their music, their films, their books) for their paychecks. Please welcome them. Please help them. Please do not make them feel badly about asking you directly for money.” -Amanda Palmer

This strip is relevant to me and my interests.

If I had a few thousand bucks it wouldn't touch the sides of my problems except I could buy a casket to lay down in and start getting rotten(er).

Did I say last week's strip was the best of the new ones? I was wrong, it's this one.

I think the correct thread title though is "at least Radiohead has a car."

I would have gone with, "the same thing as not listening to Radiohead," but to each their own.

That's why i went with "fig skivvied dreamers", altogether less controversial.

Seems to be a lot of Radiohead backlash lately.

I have never gotten that into Radiohead, but yesterday someone mentioned Hail to the Thief. That brought back a lot of memories. It was the first CD I bought without knowing what the band sounded like-- I just knew that cool people liked Radiohead, and I thought the cover was awesome. I remember being totally blown away by how good it was.

This is bizarre, because in 2003 I was in 9th grade. Had I really not bought any cool new CDs before then?

That is a great cd. I think it might be the last cd they've made that the public at large has liked at all. They've veered into more challenging territory since then that even a lot of their former fans can't get into. I however, still find them very much worth listening to.
