A Recipe For Radiohead

Here’s a fun infographic presented by the folks at The Daily, Rupert Murdoch’s experiment in iPad-optimized media publishing. The raw data comes from the brain behind @Discographies ( the Voice’s music critic of 2010), so it’s at least as scientific as the USA Today‘s long-running infographic franchise (Stephen Colbert knows what I’m talking about). In related news, The Daily‘s Sasha Frere-Jones-edited culture section has hired the Voice‘s prolific and thoughtful Zach Baron, which is a promising recipe of another sort. But in fairness, if we’re talking The King Of Limbs the above infographic needs at least 7% more dubstep.

  1. “Stereogum has a “Recipe for Radiohead”, including the correct proportions of “refrigerator magnet poetry” and “empty spaces where guitar used to be.” Actually, it’s originally from The Daily but I’m not buying into that wannabe-hipster malarkey. Even if I do miss those guitars.”

  2. refrigerator magnet poetry ha!

  3. I LOLed at “accidentally inventing Coldplay.”

    It’s an obvious (and old, very old) joke, but after listening to The Bends for the first time in months?

    So true. High and Dry and Fake Plastic Trees invented Coldplay. Exit Music invented Muse.

    Radiohead has subtlely aped their own influences (and Thom won’t deny it) but the aforementioned instances are just hilariously accurate.

  4. “things that go ‘bleep’”
