This Isn't Happening: Radiohead's 'Kid A' and the Beginning of the 21st Century by Steven Hyden
2.0
Things I took away from this book:
1. You shouldn't read a book about something you think you know better than the author.
2. I think I know far too much about Radiohead.
3. King of Limbs is criminally underrated and in no way the 'worst' Radiohead album.
4. Everyone else in the world continues to be too enthusiastic about In Rainbows. It's a mess.
5. It is nice to be reminded of things. 'Kid A' (the song) from the 4/7/00 bootleg was such an incredible thing, and this guy gets it. 'Cuttooth' is indeed too good to be a b-side (and is in fact the best song they ever wrote.)
6. Whilst this book strays wildly and aimlessly from its topic and is kind of all over the place, the sort of thesis that 2000 internet was a beautiful thing and 2020 internet is a hellscape is entirely correct.
