Which, incidentally makes me feel very old, but is of this moment insignificant. What is significant is that Radiohead is a band so sick, so ridiculously talented and consistently surprising I'm astounded they exist at all in this age of auto-tune and Miley Cyrusness (not that I don't love to get down to "Party in the U.S.A." as much as the next totally awesome straight guy).
It is also a band that my awkward 18 year old ass would've never listened to given my severe musical A.D.D. (which still sometimes rears its ugly head, I am not a fun person to have control the radio in a car ride) and now I can literally not get enough of. I don't care that Thom Yorke probably hates me and everything I stand for, that cockeyed bastard could knee me in the balls and stab me in the eye with a fork and I'd still only mumble out a pathetic "your music means so much to me!" In fact I prefer his blatant disdain for the trappings of music glory; you can only laugh at John Mayer so much after all.

1. Teach my kids how to play baseball and mold them into Hall of Fame Red Sox players (steroids if neccessary)
2. Punch Glenn Beck in the face
3. See Radiohead in concert and flip the crap out
Below is the reason why:
