FREE DOM AND ETHAN (special guest stars mark bronson), Wednesday, 15 April 2009 16:28 (seventeen years ago)

I wonder if things would change if Beyonce sang about urban dystopias over laptop beats while Radiohead wailed about being crazy about love and Jonny Greenwood was photographed snogging Jay-Z.

As to music, looks, or whom can beat-up whom?

Daniel, Esq., Wednesday, 15 April 2009 16:30 (seventeen years ago)

So: Radiohead, Beyonce, Beyonce (except for that Radiohead drummer, who looks like a fighter).

In the interest of balance I demand a photo of Thom Yorke wearing a brown, glittery bikini and a photo of Beyonce straining to have a dump.

featuring Strawberry and the Shortcakes (Billy Dods), Wednesday, 15 April 2009 16:32 (seventeen years ago)

both artists I enjoy plenty of music by but can't help disliking on some basic level and wishing they didn't hold so much prominence in their respective genres

All 3 beyonce, although I like Amnesiac, Johnny's cheekbones and think Ed could hold his own if he didn't have to look after Thom and Colin.

Abandon hope all ye who enter here

Below is a list of terms and their definitions that are used in this fan community.

Cheesecake: Radiohead fandom's primary term for slash.

Collab: Term that denotes fiction with more than one author, often written in a turn-based manner.

Cakelab: Term that denotes fiction with more than one author, often written in a turn-based manner, that involves sex swings, glittery dildoes, birthing chairs, and John Simm.

Thonny: Term that denotes the slash pairing of Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood, by far the most popular pairing in Radiohead fiction.

Co-Ed: Term that denotes the slash pairing of Colin Greenwood and Ed O'Brien.

Thozzie: Term that denotes the slash pairing of Thom Yorke and Colin Greenwood.

Edny: Term that denotes the slash pairing of Ed O'Brien and Jonny Greenwood.

Thed: Term that denotes the slash pairing of Thom Yorke and Ed O'Brien. Controversial because (as one poster put it), this would be like "a Great Dane fucking a chihauhua".

Phil: Nobody ever writes about Phil. :(

Stanley: Nobody ever has sex with Stanley because he's just too fucking weird, and is usually off painting pictures of vaginas or scary bears. Stanley prefers it this way.

Contro: A subgenre of slash involving situations that may be deemed "controversial." (See Cake Canon #14.)

ZS1983 (Z S), Wednesday, 15 April 2009 17:18 (seventeen years ago)

Vaclav Havel mostly. (Matt P), Wednesday, 15 April 2009 17:21 (seventeen years ago)

[edit] Cake Canon
1. Colin is a dirty little perverted kinkster who likes Victorian porn.

2. What goes on tour, stays on tour, unless you have angsty meetings somewhere secret afterwards.

3. Phil knows all. Don't even try to argue.

4. Jonny is either a) an innocent virgin, b) a horny desperate virgin, c) an innocent non-virgin, d) a horny desperate non-virgin, e) pure unadulterated evil or f) all of the above.

5. Ed has a giant monster cock.

6. The studio, after everyone has supposedly gone home, is a hotbed of illicit trysts. (see also: number 2, angsty meetings)

7. Stipey and Thom? Duh, of course they did. Any time, any place, anywhere.

8. They went to a private all-boys' school. Work it out.

9. Ed only gets high as an excuse to make out with everyone.

10. Stanley knows all too, but he's never letting on, and even if he did it'd be too cryptic to understand.

11. Thom is a wanton slut.

12. Thom is a repressed slut.

13. 11&12 often go hand in hand.

14. Sometimes Colin and Jonny push the definition of what "brotherly love" is.

15. Thom is usually responsible for 14.

16. Ed smells bad, but Colin loves it.

17. When you need relationship advice, go to Colin.

18. If you need relationship advice about Jonny, do not go to Colin.

19. Colin will fuck your shit up if you mess with his little brother.

20. No one pines over Phil. Ever.

21. Jonny's hair is amazing and smells amazing ... probably vanilla, apple or citrus.

22. Stanley = Yellow.

23. Michael Stipe is a conflicted predatory slutmonster, who generally seduces and ruins Thom and then has to pay for it ten years later. And how.

24. Gag reflex? What gag reflex?

25. When dealing with school-aged Radiohead studying a foreign language: French. Always. Don't question it.

26. Need some bad guys? Oh hay Liam and Noel Gallagher!
