What does it have to do with Harry Patch? Oh, my wife says I am being very rude. She doesn't like me insulting Radiohead. She's afraid they will send their lackeys through the computer to sabotage us. But they needn't worry -- we are a band that sabotages ourselves." 'I'm Going Away' is available now.

Fiery Furnaces' Matthew Friedberger Continues Radiohead Fight
Pitchfork: Latest News —
