goddammit, i knew it. the limited amount of waste tickets on sale for the US radiohead shows are already all gone. i guess i'll have to try my luck with ticketmaster like the rest of the rubes. even then, it's likely i won't be able to get a ticket, and then i have to weigh how much i actually want to see them. tickets are approximately $50 as it is; is $100 worth it to me? $200? i guess, it's sad to say, at this point, that's doubtful. it seems likely to me that there will be three distinct radiohead periods in my life: my youth and theirs as a band, where i saw them a dozen times for minimal amounts of money; their inevitable popularity and acclaim where tickets are still somewhat reasonable but always sell out too fast too buy and my income doesn't allow me buy scalped ones from evil folks so i won't see them live for years at a time; and their slow decline where they'll start doing stadium shows for hundreds of dollars (face value, mind you!) but i will be old and rich and eager to relive my rock glory days that i will pony up. it seems we are currently in the second period.

I'll give it some thought.

Dude. "Against your better judgment"? You'll "give it some thought"? I don't think you want to tease Catherine, and especially not with Radiohead tix.

I was more than a little bummed about this whole Radiohead tour thing. The fact that they are not coming to D.C. is sadness. I might have a shot at one of the L.A. shows if my friend can score tickets.

Given the fact that they are playing smaller more intimate venues, where do you think they would have played in D.C.?

Also, I'm wondering if they'll have a second leg of the tour later.

And when the hell is the new cd coming out?
