Can't help with your Confucians, Carlo, but Radiohead says "Call the Karma
Police"--and thank you, Dom, for that most interesting screed on them. I've
just been listening to their just-released AMNESIAC. And a very lugubrious
work it is too (if that makes it more avant-ye or behind, me, dunno). Miss
the wit that was still there in the quite innovative _Kid A_ (right on, Dom,
about "Idioteque")--and the swoony, sweepy orchestral riffs of "National
Anthem" make for right smart music politically, but that was already the
case way back when with "Creep." So I do wonder, where are you going, Rh,
where have you been?
