Pop culture with a hangover

Did Damien Hirst rip off Radiohead’s “In Rainbows”?

I first realized the similarity between these two things ages ago, but for some reason I never posted anything about it. Or maybe I read someone else’s post about it and forgot…if so, I have no idea where. Anyway, while looking through some pictures today, I came across this image of some sort of artwork/flatware made by artist Damien Hirst. You have to admit it there are some similarities between this and the artwork accompanying Radiohead’s terrific album In Rainbows. Decide for yourself:

vs.

in-rainbows-2

in-rainbows-1

in-rainbows-3

Thoughts?

    Er…um…dammit I think you’re right. I was probably off with this post.

    Nope. Can’t see any connection. Is the Radiohead even actually earlier than the Hirst?
