Know Your Enemy
"Like most creative musicians, Matt Friedberger is not a fan of Radiohead and most of their chart busters ... Matt has not heard the Radiohead song about Harry Patch, but if he did, he is sure he wouldn't like it. No doubt Radiohead and their fans can ignore his opinion of this matter and continue with their triumphant artistic interventions. Matt would have much preferred to insult Beck but he is too afraid of Scientologists".
Matthew Friedberger of the Fiery Furnaces publicly reiterates his dislike for Oxford's finest, while talking about himself in the third person.
Although I haven't yet got into I'm Going Away, I'm a big fan of theirs, and so this all seems a bit silly and unsavoury.

I refer to the Chris Hoy quote about talking in the third person which essentially goes: "When Chris Hoy starts referring to himself in the third person, Chris Hoy will realise that he has disappeared up Chris Hoy's arse".
Spoken like a true knight of the realm.
