I'm starting to think those guys didn't even have radio heads.

marygillis.bsky.social•252 days ago

Before they lied about computer being OK, Radiohead did make the best music video of all time

Wow. I’ve never seen this before, and it’s brilliant. I can’t help but think of Hawthorne’s short story “The Minister’s Black Veil.”

I've only seen them in concert once but I can vouch that at least two of them do.

jamesleejobe.bsky.social•252 days ago

Yes, that's what always bothered me a bit. Their heads are all quite normal.

axialagegamer.bsky.social•60 days ago

Huge if true.

spitandtears.bsky.social•252 days ago

Or an iron lung

adjectivecat.bsky.social•252 days ago

likewise with Kraftwerk: it is in fact, not more fun to compute.

"Fitter happier

devlin1.bsky.social•252 days ago

Oh, I took it as "OK computer" like "OK boomer."

juniperplexed.bsky.social•252 days ago

idk i think it's just being a little paranoid

8bittripper.bsky.social•252 days ago

Nah I think they were saying it like "ok boomer". OK 'puter

jontayler.bsky.social•252 days ago

Turns out the android is quite paranoid after all

delbertgseasons.bsky.social•252 days ago

ACAB includes the karma police

jerrytimber.bsky.social•252 days ago

KO Computer

waihekean.bsky.social•60 days ago

And my head is buzzing like a frikin fridge.

earthpigjohnson.bsky.social•59 days ago

That android do be paranoid, though.

transgirlsurf.bsky.social•252 days ago

OK computer was released in 1997 when (apparently) computers were “OK”. This is no longer the case.

silverskyliger.bsky.social•251 days ago

Windows 95.

Nuff said.

kevidently.bsky.social•251 days ago

Yeah but so was cola and look what happened there

warcabbitmwm.bsky.social•60 days ago

Computer is your Friend.

briantransplant.com•252 days ago

So... My Chemical Romance are computers?

ericgoebelbecker.com•252 days ago

Okay, computer.

twotothefifth.bsky.social•252 days ago

ACAB includes Karma Police.

bisonbison.bsky.social•252 days ago

No way computer

dblexus.bsky.social•57 days ago

It's about compliance with the computers demands

jeffthompson48.bsky.social•252 days ago

Computer suck.

zootius.bsky.social•58 days ago

Karma not seem to catch up with Police. Radiohead fake as plastic tree

finnyus.bsky.social•252 days ago

Just say it like a gay man who isn't paying attention and it makes more sense

iamschrodinger.bsky.social•251 days ago

You misunderstood. They weren't saying the computer was ok, they were saying ok *to* the computer.

Compare:
OK Computer
OK Boomer

redregon.bsky.social•59 days ago

They did predict paranoid androids.

yurei.bsky.social•57 days ago

Computer rebooted in the middle of spreadsheet 😮

datashade.bsky.social•58 days ago

gracedupre.bsky.social•60 days ago

They simply forgot the question mark.

talesfrompurgatory.bsky.social•252 days ago

I think they meant it sort of like “Ok, Boomer”

vafnord.bsky.social•252 days ago

It's OK Computer as in "ok boomer"

delbertgseasons.bsky.social•252 days ago

Pretty sure it’s a Hitchhiker’s Guide reference. Sorry to intrude but I never hear anybody talk about this and it’s unnerving. Paranoid Android definitely is

borninawar.bsky.social•252 days ago

That's what I thought!

clayfox.bsky.social•58 days ago

Ok computer is what you say right before a rogue Boston dynamics robot rips you limb from limb. It’s a complicit final phrase.

lichenglen.bsky.social•252 days ago

doctorbowring.bsky.social•252 days ago

On the other hand, Janelle Monae has been telling us the truth. Computer dirty.

bhryn.bsky.social•252 days ago

Tch next you'll be telling me that Moby was mistaken about us all being made of stars (which would be horrifying honestly)

wildheart-baby.bsky.social•252 days ago

Wait, it wasn't a sarcastic reply to a computer.
