And really, why is this news? I love Radiohead but do I care if someone dislikes them? Nope. Perhaps Mr. Friedberger is a bit jealous?

They'll always have a solid fan base, but it's not like these guys are swinging around their egos like Kanye West, or even Matt Friedberger. Even if they were taken out of context, Matt's barbs sound rather petty, not to mention unfounded (when was their last "chartbuster?" 1997?). What's ironic is that Matt accused RH of being pretentious. I used to find Fiery Furnaces entertaining, but their empty pretensions really get on my nerves now. Forced alliterations, cheap noodling synth solos, prog. pastiche, etc., all designed to obfuscate the fact that these two don't have anything to say except that they're so damn clever. They could get by as a fun, silly band if it weren't for this penchant to show off, and this recent incident with Matt only solidifies their reputation as insecure, stuck-up hipster assholes.

It doesn't help Radiohead that a host of wimps squeal every time someone expresses a negative opinion about these saviors. Talk about making music more important than it already is... sheesh.
