Radiohead Diss

Radiohead is definitely one of my favorite bands. They were also my favorite set at Lollapalooza last year.

On the other hand, I’m not a fan of Miley Cyrus at all, simply because I’m not into her music. Nothing against her. As for Kanye West, I dig the music, but don’t dig him or his attitude.

So why am I talking about Radiohead, Miley Cyrus, and Kanye West? Well, a feud has emerged between them. Both Kanye West and Miley Cyrus both wanted to meet Radiohead at the Grammy Awards last month, and Radiohead snubbed them and said no thanks. Miley and Kanye both have gone public with this snub, and regrettably I would have to side with them. It kind of upsets me that Thom Yorke and his band couldn’t take a minute to meet them, no matter who they are, or what they think of them. I’m starting to sense a Coldplay-esque “we are the kings of the world” aura that is radiating from Radiohead. I hate that crap when big namers put themselves on a pedestal.

Here is an article from the squabble…

Radiohead’s Thom Yorke Schools Miley Cyrus & Kanye West on Humility

When Radiohead refused to meet Miley Cyrus and Kanye West at the Grammy Awards last month, the starlet threatened to “ruin” them and the rapper refused to stand for their performance. Now the In Rainbows band is fighting back.

Cyrus kicked off the feudin’ during an appearance on the Johnjay and Rich radio show and rambled on for more than six minutes about how the band dissed her after she begged her manager to set up an introduction.

“I’m like, these are the people I really want to meet,” she said. “I’d freak out. They’re my rock gods. These are the only people that I would cry over…My manager asked and said, ‘Miley’s really obsessed. And they were like, ‘We don’t really do that.’ ”

She continued on in disbelief about the Thom Yorke band’s lack of interest in meeting the Hannah Montana, admitting she was so disappointed about the diss, she left the show early.
“I left ’cause I was so upset,” she said. “I wasn’t going to watch. Stinkin’ Radiohead! I’m gonna ruin them, I’m going to tell everyone.”

The three-time Grammy winners responded by putting the teen in her place…

“When Miley grows up, she’ll learn not to have such a sense of entitlement,” the quintet said in a statement.

But the Radiohead beef buck doesn’t stop there.

During the taping for his episode of VH1’s Storytellers, West complained that Yorke snubbed him as well.

“When he performed at the Grammys, I sat the f–k down,” the rapper said.

The British “Creep” singer, already in full retaliation mode, concluded a blog post on the band’s website with a wink and a nudge to both stars. “Wish us all a safe journey if you still like us and you’re not one of those people I have managed to offend by doing nothing,” Yorke writes.
