Thom Yorke, watch out for that mile-high ice cream cone!

Hilarious story (several weeks old, sorry -- been traveling) about an experiment in which a San Francisco Bay Area 5th grade class listens to Radiohead, then draws what they hear. Some of the resulting images look like they could pass for actual Radiohead album covers. Snip:

"We will play a career-spanning selection of Radiohead songs; the kids, equipped with Sharpies and blank sheets of paper, will simply draw whatever the music suggests to them. We don't even give them the name of the band. They don't know anything about Radiohead, the mountain of criticism, the mythology. Their thoughts and interpretations are pure, unsullied, literally unique.

They are also extremely bizarre. The kids consent to this experiment, if only because [teacher] Mitsi [Kato] tells them to. They do, however, immediately request that we play Sean Paul or 50 Cent instead. 'This is not hip-hop,' Mitsi says. 'I'm not asking if you like it.' She doesn't have to ask. They don't. "
