For the first few songs, the kids hardly move, scarcely even changing facial expressions. One girl plants her head on her desk face-first. The "hold your head in your hands and look completely confused" look is extremely popular.

Indeed, wow. I loved "Radiohead: it's about bummed-out dolphins." Stunningly accurate, that.
Maybe we could continue the experiment. Go through the whole shebang of pretentious and whiny music (The Smiths, Pink Floyd...), then finish up with that New Waver album you were talking about. Suicide watch may be required, come to think of it.
(I don't mean to be perjorative with "pretentious and whiny", by the way. I love Pink Floyd. But, c'mon! Have you ever really *listened* to "On the Turning Away"? "Have a Cigar"? "Welcome to the Machine"? Yeesh...)
(And I wonder why they didn't like "Paranoid Android". Apart from "Creep", that's the closest thing to the sort of music they'd probably like they're ever going to hear from Yorke. Plus, it seriously rocks. Even more than "2 + 2 = 5")
wow.
i don't know if i'm more shocked at the teacher's initiative to do this or at the results. the "go to art school now" is quite impressive.
