Not to be a dick, but I called pop albums as fine art even before filesharing. Imagine walking into an art gallery, putting on a pair of headphones, listening to the most heartwrenching pop song you’ve ever heard and never hearing it again. Or being the guy that bought the Velvet Underground acetates on EBay a year or so ago. I support everything about the new Radiohead album and I might even shell out the $80 or the boxset after I donate for the internet release next week. Our Sgt. Pepper’s? More details here.
Up there with Damian Hirst’s “For the Love of God” as the artwork of the millenium.
