Prompted by Radiohead Week, a raft of re-issues from, erm, some record company or other and the shameful knowledge DiS awarded Kid A
a scathing 4/10, way-back-when. It’s time to make amends. -
Kid A was born in 2000, towards the end of New Labour s first term.
Kid A parents were quietly thinking about religion (and whether it looks unfashionable these days), but mostly about which young and upwardly mobile people to invite around, and which shirts showed sweat during important meetings.
Kid A would grow up amid ever-escalating tests that made school un-fun, but new media all the more exciting.
