Not PC, Not High Art

For all you Radiohead lovers who declare that pop has entered the classical stratosphere, let this video be a lesson to you.  If you think this is good, I suggest seeking medical attention.

PS:  My opinion is strictly re: the song, not the performance or arrangement by the folks over at Berkeley in this vid.  Those aspects are both great.  I’m referring singularly to the elements in this Radiohead song.   Even if we resurrected Bach from the dead to score it for these instruments, it would still sound horrible.  Sorry Radiohead.
