Looking at the cover for Radiohead's best of, I realised that it was strangely similar to something else I had seen before.
It was a homage to cover of 'Wish You Were Here' by Pink Floyd. That's what it was.
I know they aren't exactly the same, but there is no way in hell Thom Yorke wouldn't have seen this album cover.
On another interesting note concerning music, I read on wikipedia that Liam Gallagher (lead singer, Oasis) is good friends with Richard Ashcroft (lead singer, The Verve), and that it was Ashcroft that helped Oasis get started in their early days. However, I have not yet had the chance to go through the music of either of these two bands.
Now, you may know about the 'battle for britpop' way back in 1994, when Blur and Oasis were at loggerheads with each other over popularity, one which Blur won.
As I was reading about Damon Albarn (lead singer, Blur), he is good friends with Robet Del Naja (3D from Massive Attack). I really like both their bands, and it got me thinking. Should I ignore Oasis and The Verve simply because I like Blur more, or should not care about their personal issues here? (here's looking at you LIAM)
Liam Gallagher looking stoned
VS
Damon Albarn getting his balls squeezed
Well, the answer is obviously the latter, I just like britpop ^^
But are there people out there who would ignore a band just because their favourite band tell them they suck? (please avoid humiliating yourself by not mentioning east coast vs west coast trash here).
Oh and just for the heck of it
*you didn't tell me there was a mousetrap in there*
