Editor’s note: So the new Radiohead record, In Rainbows, was released today as a download only. I couldn’t access the site (here’s another site that discusses it in great depth), but these two dorks persevered and succeeded, and below is their alarmingly joyous analysis of the album. If you are not a Radiohead fan, you might be a little weirded out (or, frankly, bored). But if you are a fan, pretend you’re in there chatting and giggling right along with them.
