(CNN)A group of men attacked fans at a Radiohead listening party Friday in Istanbul, apparently angry the fans were drinking during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

Amateur video -- reported to have been live-streamed on Periscope -- appears to have captured the incident. In the video, the unidentified attackers enter the store shouting "close it, close it down" aggressively as attendees were listening to Radiohead's newly launched album "A Moon Shaped Pool."

Alternatively, it could have just been people with good taste in music.

You would say that.

Would I? Why? Lol. Radiohead is extremely overrated. Give me musicians who didn't spend 20 years telling everybody how much they were 'experimenting' any day.

Who do you like

I like a lot of musicians. As I get older, I am developing a taste for old jazz/crooner music. I've spent the last few months going through Frank Sinatra's catalogue.

I like some Sinatra, he did some great stuff.

I've gotten into jazz in the last few years, Coltrane, Miles Davis kind of stuff. Those guys were probably too experimental for you though, lol.

Probably the same kind of people who attacked Paris at all rock concert. Real dullards. They think kids are supposed to spend all day bent over in a mosque.

Well, you'll always have your RuPaul cds, since no one else wants em. :lamo

I do not have them. You offered me yours, but I turned them down as I like music.

I don't travel to Islamic countries. They don't impress me as welcoming places.

I have never claimed to be? Lol. Apparently, you have as much trouble quoting right as you do with gifs.

Ahhh, old hatuey up to his old tricks. Back to the Malik Obama thing, right?

I quoted you at least twice, then you tried to redefine what the word "above" meant.

I don't think you understand how to properly quote somebody.

Please show the post where I did. I don't think you understand what considering yourself above somebody else means. It' understandable, English does not seem to be a language you care much for.

Ok, tell me, in your own words, how you're above Malik Obama.

Then we can both be done with the topic.

For one, my irrelevant quotes about Obama aren't used by alt-right conspiracy theorists trying to prove that Obama is a secret mooslum.
