Radiohead's Colin Greenwood has revealed that he was left temporarily deaf while the band recorded their recent album 'In Rainbows', after he used the wrong type of headphones. So, let that be a lesson to all of you.

He told Word: "[It was] a fucking nightmare. It came back, mostly. It doesn't feel like I'm talking to people underwater anymore. For a few months afterwards I'd be watching the telly and suddenly hear these high-pitched whistling noises as more and more high frequencies came back".
