It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Really ironic that Yorke and Jonny Greenwood are Zionists since OK Computer was influenced by writers like Chomsky.

Honestly I just grew up listening to them and singing them. I'm a hobbyist singer and Thoms vocal range and tone fits my voice perfectly. I've been singing Radiohead songs in my car and living room and in karaoke bars for like 15 years. It's not gonna be replaceable unfortunately.

I'll have to go back to everyone thinking I'm a weirdo by singing They Might Be Giants songs instead. NOBODY RUIN THEM FOR ME TOO FFS.

People make fun of me for being a DJ but EDM is all I've got left after the bands I grew up with keep getting rightfully cancelled kitty-birthday-sad

TMBG are pretty explicitly communists, so you're good there

If you like them and RH, there's a good chance you'd like some of King Crimson. I was trying to think of a useful comparison and I think you should check out their song Dinosaur to see what I'm getting at. That is, unless what you really like about Yorke is the wailing, in which case go right to In the Court of the Crimson King.

In the Court of the Crimson King is one of the albums tbh, most people will at least find it interesting.

Saying that, I really like King Crimson. I haven't listened to every album yet, but I like Three of a Perfect Pair and THRAK quite a bit, despite them being albums that aren't often talked about. I need to listen to Larks Tongues in Aspic, because I quite like parts III and IV from ToaPP and The Construkcion of Light.

Red is also a fantastic album!
