Interesting.  I'd heard that you can play Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon with
2001: A Space Odyssey (the film) simultaneously, and that the band timed the music
that way.  Let me reiterate that I am not making that claim here about Radiohead and
those parallels to BotNS.

I also wanted to say that I should have dictionaried 'collusion' before I used it as
my subject.  I didn't intend it in the sense of 'connivance' but merely in the sense
of 'hidden colloboration', which it might not even have.
