Ugh going through with these ideas would just completely go against the culture and established order of things it would probably be perceived as being really mawkish and nervy people would probably make fun of it to no end. It would be really hard to get it right, to go at it the right way, that doesn’t come off in a laughable manner.

It’s just a really double sided and multifaceted issue ugh it kills me going into such complicated territory.

Radiohead is probably seen as really artistic for a lot of the sounds and notes they use that trademark surreal kind of paranoid bleak English sounding tone they use a lot. It’s almost like what Pink Floyd would do to freaking make Britain look bad they’d probably use sounds like that like in the Wall at the trial scene you know? It’s kind of weird Radiohead does that. But it’s artistic I guess it’s like le holocaust almost. Well mostly I think Radiohead thinks it’s really bad and I don’t wholly disagree with them but I don’t like to focus on it that much.

But anyway, it all depends on how poppy you want to be, but it would probably seem sacrilegious but for example you could play something like blackstar by Radiohead and you could clean it up quite a lot, and take out those surreal notes and change it around a bit maybe and it would sound totally different, you could make it sound really lush, clear and clean and it would almost sound sort of spiritual depending how you went about it.

But the thing is, would it be less or more poppy? I almost want to take Blackstar and do this and then post it online to see what people think.

Going from there I could make an easier judgement about what kind of sound to go for.
