Since their breakthrough hit ""Creep"" in 1993, Radiohead has continued to make waves throughout popular and political culture with its views about the Bush presidency (its 2003 album was titled Hail to the Thief), its anti-corporatism, its pioneering efforts to produce ecologically sound road tours, and, most of all, its decision in 2007 to sell its latest album, In Rainbows, online with a controversial ""pay-what-you-want"" price.

You know the feeling you get when reading a book, and thinking the whole time: "I am definitely going to read that again?" - That's exactly how I felt while reading this.
Let me say that the only reason I purchased this book was that I am a huge fan of Radiohead, and I had a bit of an interest in reading accessible philosophy essays. However, what I got from it is much more; I grew interest in topics I never knew existed or even cared about.
Radiohead and Philosophy was not only about philosophy and some band, it was about politics, economics, technology, society, music, and a lot more. It was about life, and death. It certainly opened up new doors for me, and I learned so much from it already. And as Yorke sings in Last Flowers: "It's too much. Too bright. Too powerful."
I really feel sad that I didn't keep track of the amazing things that kept me up for days, but as Byron Hawk said: "Radiohead and Philosophy is not something you analyze, but something you experience, like sitting back and listening to Radiohead."
