Has anyone received a pre-sale link for Radiohead tickets for their 2018 North American tour? I've never seen them and am really hoping to be able to purchase tickets today for the pre-sale. THANKz
RAdiohead (207)
Hey there, to whomever reads this. I´m really angry right now.
I´ve been waiting a lifetime to see Radiohead and I always told myself when the moment came I´d do it right.
When the venue was changed for this concert I was told my ticket could be exchanged for a Front Standing Ticket or I could have a refund instead. Given that I was offered the Front Standing Ticket I decided to go for it instead of the refund. However, if I had known the possibility existed of getting a seated ticket by selecting this option, I WOULD HAVE ASKED FOR A REFUND. I´ve been in the Cricket Ground before in Manchester and being seated is the worst possible sound and concert experience I´ve had in my life.
But this wasn´t said to me. I am so frustrated and so angry. Now I can´t even resell my ticket at face value, get a refund, or see the concert the way I wanted to see it.
I am so sad, frustrated, and angry. I have no where to go and nothing I can do. Bought my train tickets which no one will refund either. Man, it´s just a matter of making the front area slightly bigger in order to fit the 40/50 of us that have the same scenario where we were supposed to get Front Standing but instead we´re now seated (Eventim mentioned I was one of the very few that had to be seated...) . Below is a screenshot of the email where I´m offered a refund or the replacement ticket. I was promised one thing and given another one, in any place in the world that is unfair.
Please help somebody? Is anybody in the same boat as me?
Dear Radiohead band,
I live in Mexico, in a small town called La Paz, very near from Los Cabos, but very different of it. Well, last Saturday on April 22th, five good local musicians presented a tribute to Radiohead. 20 months ago, this project united them just because they wanted to study and play your music, the favorite music for this five. Well, it was a great night, was the first time in the city that we watched a show like this.
I’ve been in your concerts in Mexico City, on 2009 and last year. I can tell you that I felt the same vibe, feeling and emotions in the tribute last saturday. Radiohead’s heart was here that night and it felt so great, even some people who didn’t know about your music, they enjoyed that moment a lot. (You know, like moms, dads and grandparents).
I learned something about that night: your music is beyond yourselfs, is not Thom, Colin, Jonnhy, Ed Phil… it’s Radiohead, and Radiohead can be anywhere, no matter what. So, thank you so much for inspire people, for inspire us. In addition to the concert, this tribute event inspired different local artists to create graphics, videos, take pictures, write about it, etcetera… all around your music, celebrate it, honor it.
We love your music, so much.
I Hope you can watch and listen what we lived that night, in a small theater, of a small town in Mexico… very far far away from the big city, but close to the sea.
You are here, forever.
Greetings from La Paz, Baja California Sur, México.

In visual arts, lots and lots of artists, especially in the movements of romanticism and Realism, have tried to depict loneliness and it's effects on normal human beings:
Mostly you see desperate and tortured faces painted on canvases, as if this condition is hopeless and lackluster, but one painter is special for me and that's EDWARD HOPPER. Because he does not depict loneliness or sense of depression as this inevitable destructive force that cripples us all, like Goya did back in his days, or some realists did in their works. I think Hopper shows us, that loneliness and overall condition of unhappiness is a choice of ours. He has a lot of paintings, where there is a character placed in a building, surrounded by huge windows frames. His characters look completely drained, but in all of those paintings, the window frames are not covered, they don't even have glass put in them. As if there is an escape, but the character does not really want to save him/herself. He/she does not want to be happy in the long term.
Slavoj Zizek, modern philosopher has the same view about happiness. in one of his videos, he brings an analogy of a married man, with a nice circle of friends, great job and overall good life, has a mistress. This man really loves the woman he has affair with and wishes that his wife leaves him. And one day, dreams come true... He gets a divorce and goes on to live with his mistress, but eventually the man realizes that the love for his mistress faded away. This "love" only made sense when he had a wife.
So, should we always be in pursuit of happiness or dreams, if we'll still end up lonely?.. I think the answer is yes, however futile everything might seem... Loneliness is not something one should fear... It is something, that must be embraced.
There is a painting by Hopper called; Room in New York. A man reads the newspaper and a woman sits across the room, playing notes on the piano. For some, this might seem as a very pessimistic canvas, but for me it is full of hope. Yes, both the man and woman are lonely, alienated, isolated from each other. But they both have each other, so they can share their pain. Pain of loneliness... The most ancient curse of mankind.
I feel too old for festivals.
But then I'm too big a Radiohead fan, and not without complaining I bought a ticket for Lollapallooza Berlin, because I was not able to get any to see them in London. I'm from Brazil and I've just moved to London. I never thought that being here actually made it harder for you to get into concerts.
And then after living for about 6 months in what for my standards is absolutely freezing weather, I was craving the heat of the continent. And Berlin did not disappoint me. This was my second time there and this time I wanted a light-hearted visit, not war museums and educational Wall tours. So we stayed in a residential neighborhood, not the touristy areas, full of cafes and bars. It was hot and sunny. There was music in the air. We felt like if we wandered enough we would reach Copacabana beach. What a good vibe.
And then we went to see FC Union Berlin play football on Saturday, in a 4x0 match against the visiting team. Still not over the World Cup 7x1 Brazil fiasco, but it felt great to be in a stadium where people love football just that much. What a cool match. What great fans both teams had.
We spent the rest of the day wandering the town, tasting its tastes and walking its walks. It was love at second sight.
On Sunday, we ate some dust at the beautiful Treptower park to arrive at the main stage of Lolla, where we enjoyed the sight of young people dancing to some interesting new music throughout the afternoon. I was still feeling a little bit misplaced, but not for too long.
Festival goers in Germany are much more laid back then Radiohead die-hard fans in Brazil, so we were able to find a spot stuck to the rail to watch the show. Then more people my age started to pop up, some of them bringing their kids. When I saw the band in Sao Paulo back in 2009, I wasn't able to see much of what was going on at the stage, so to see Jonny, Tom and Ed all aligned in front of me was really a present from the gods. The music as I felt on my first time sounds even more beautiful live. I could go to this concert every night of my life.
Then Thom asked "how is your weekend?", it felt like a personal message, a wake-up call.
I was dragged all the way to Berlin, but in the end it was such a magic weekend.
You’re right, Thom. I have to get out more. I’m not that old. Thank you.
saw Radiohead both nights at the garden! first night was west ga, and second night i was in the 100's on Ed's side. both days were incredible, and i've never been so happy in my life!!! met some awesome people, and loved the setlists. after a few days, it's getting sad but i'm happy to have the nice memories.
love,
diana

I found out the domain name www.DawnChorusLLP.com was reserved for Radiohead by a Radiohead fan so it was not snatched up and held for ransom.
It will be given freely without stipulation should Radiohead want it.

Never could get through at all. Now sold out for both shows in NYC.
Such a regular occurrence that I don't know why i bother trying anymore.
For laffs, guess I'll go see what the scalpers are selling them for
O Radiohead lançou A Moon Shaped Pool no dia 08 de maio e, desde então, não consegui parar de revisitar a obra da banda que gosto muito. Sempre tem aquelas mesmas músicas que eu não canso de ouvir a vida inteira, mas desde In Rainbows que eu não me envolvia, não me identificava com as coisas que eles vinham lançando desde então. O novo álbum serviu para resgatar isso, minha completa admiração pelo som, pela banda em si, pelas letras, por Thom Yorke. Sempre que penso em Thom Yorke, lembro de uma conversa idiota que tive com um ex-namorado, e talvez seja overshare dizer aqui: eu dizia o quando achava a voz dele um tesão, ele respondia que “um tesão é o meu c****** enorme”. Enfim.
De qualquer maneira, a re-audição das coisas antigas despertou meu lado Radiohead-freak de novo. Me vejo respondendo mentalmente às críticas que pipocam nas timelines das redes sociais e me vejo completamente tocada novamente. A Moon Shaped Pool, dizem alguns, pode ser o último álbum do Radiohead. Se for, é uma bela maneira de suspender a produção: o álbum é cativante, é o que o Radiohead sabe fazer de melhor e isso está de bom tamanho. É um álbum que mostra uma banda à vontade, curtindo seu próprio trabalho sem grande estardalhaço. Minha preferida é a faixa 04, “Desert Island Disk”, mas há grandes momentos ali: “Burn The Witch”, “Identikit”, “Decks Dark”, “The Numbers”, “True Love Waits”. O primeiro show da turnê - e o primeiro desde 2012 - foi dia 20 de maio, em Amsterdã, e está disponível para ser assistido na íntegra aqui.
E aí fica a torcida para que um dia eles voltem ao Brasil. Me lembro quando o show foi anunciado, eu estava sem dinheiro para comprar o ingresso na época e (sim) chorei de frustração com a possibilidade de perder. Não perdi. O show aconteceu no dia 20 de março, bem no dia do meu aniversário, e nem estava tão cheio quanto eu esperava. No início fiquei de cara para Jonny Greenwood, mas aos pouquinhos consegui me aproximar de Thom Yorke, o máximo que dava, o máximo que deu. Não tocaram “Lucky”, mas foi lindo. O problema é que minha memória é ruim e eu lembro de poucas coisas. Uma das coisas que eu me lembro é que meu ex-namorado fez biquinho, porque eu queria ver o show e quando eu digo isso, significa que eu estava hipnotizada, olhando para o palco, querendo ver e ouvir as músicas mas o mala queria atenção, queria “curtir comigo”. Não queria respeitar o meu momento. Ele é assim, e como não gostava da banda na época (agora é fã, risos), não entendia que eu não queria curtir nada com ninguém. Era eu e eles ali. Não chegou a estragar, mas está aí a lembrança ruim, contaminando o que era pra ter sido uma noite unicamente boa.
Eu me lembro a primeira vez que ouvi Radiohead. Tinha uns 14 anos, estava deitada no sofá da sala, com as luzes apagadas, ouvindo a Rádio Cidade. E tocou “Creep”. Mexeu alguma coisa dentro doida e logo corri pra conseguir gravar a música em uma fita K7. Depois, comprei OK Computer e The Bends no escuro, nenhum deles tinha “Creep” e eu não tinha me dado ao trabalho de olhar a tracklist. Fiquei chateada, achei estranho, depois descobri que havia um álbum chamado Pablo Honey, que eu nunca tinha ouvido falar e que as pessoas diziam que era ruim. Achei metade das músicas desses discos estranhas, um saco. Mas a outra metade, não. A outra metade falou fundo. Foi “Lucky” e “Street Spirit” e “No Surprises” e “Karma Police” e “High and Dry”, as baladinhas todas, que primeiro me sugaram em direção ao Radiohead. De “Fake Plastic Trees” eu nunca gostei muito.
E daí é de assustar um pouco o quanto o tempo tenha passado rápido. Eu tinha 14, hoje tenho 31. O show foi em 2009, há quase 10 anos. Thom Yorke parece mais envelhecido do que nunca, e tem apenas 47 anos. Provavelmente o divórcio de um relacionamento de 23 anos tenha acabado um pouco com ele, por mais que tudo já tivesse terminado há um tempo. Inclusive os fãs acham que “Daydreaming” e seu vídeo dirigido por Paul Thomas Anderson pode incluir mensagens ocultas sobre a separação: colocaram o clipe de trás pra frente na tentativa de achar pistas. E não é que a maneira como Yorke abre as portas no original se encaixa muito bem com ele fechando no reverso? São 23 portas, afinal. E naquela voz distorcida que ele fala no final, alguns pescaram que, ao contrário, ele pode estar falando “half of my life” ou “I’ve found my love”. Nessa matéria da Flavorwire, eles juntam algumas peças levantadas por fãs para falar sobre como o vídeo parece uma alegoria em que Thom Yorke passeia pelo passado da banda, enquanto reflete sobre sua vida.
“O vídeo de ‘Daydreaming’ acompanha Thom Yorke enquanto ele passa de cenário em cenário através de vários portais, cada um sem conexão com o outro. Enquanto atravessa os espaços, ninguém fala com ele, e nem ele interage com ninguém. Seu caminho e direção mudam constantemente e seu olhar é o de quem procura por alguma coisa. (…) Ele está familiarizado com esses cenários, e está procurando por algo específico. Há momentos em que no rosto de Yorke aparece um meio sorriso aparentemente involuntário. Todos nós já experimentamos isso, o momento em que você revive uma lembrança, e ela te leva a um instante de alegria, apenas para rapidamente desvanecer em seguida. Colocado no contexto de um amor perdido, é de partir do coração.”
E de amor, Yorke parece entender. Em um vídeo de 2013, ele aparece inusitadamente dando (bons) conselhos amorosos a adolescentes ao lado de Nigel Godrich. É interessante que ele fala sobre si mesmo no contexto amoroso, inclusive sobre como sua deficiência física no olho afetou sua autoestima. São 17 minutos absolutamente deliciosos! Aproveitando a indicação de entrevistas com Thom Yorke, a melhor que eu li até agora foi a que ele concedeu por telefone a ninguém menos que Daniel Craig para a Interview Magazine, também em 2013. Craig já começa admitindo que nunca havia entrevistado ninguém, mas acaba se saindo melhor que muito jornalista experiente: como fã de Radiohead e também como um artista acostumado a lidar com o showbiz, entrevistas e afins, o papo entre os dois britânicos é cheio de conteúdo adulto, de política a música, boas piadas, boa empatia e mostra muito como funciona o ponto de vista de ambos. Recomendo fortemente para quem é fã e para quem não é, é uma entrevista realmente muito boa (e longa!).
E daí que revisitando entrevistas, vídeos, shows, músicas e tudo mais, percebo como Thom Yorke parece uma pessoa mais relaxada, mais à vontade consigo mesmo, embora ainda muito sério e sensível. Mas menos altivo. Entendo muito pouco porque as pessoas o chamam de difícil; mas talvez porque eu esteja acostumada a meu cunhado também europeu, que é uma pessoa muito série e muito franca e que não tem a menor paciência para fazer média, socializar e fazer cerimônia. E assim eu vejo o Yorke. Como alguém que não está a fim de jogar o jogo da celebridade e emprestar sua imagem para alimentar essa cultura. E pensando sobre isso, sobre esse aspecto do “não quero fazer parte disso”, eu percebi o quanto me identifico com ele. Sempre fui uma pessoa de transitar bem por todos os grupos, sem fazer parte de nenhum, E, cada vez mais, percebo que não quero fazer parte de nenhuma cena, nenhuma aglomeração - o que, por não ser uma pessoa brilhante como Yorke, me deixa isolada e talvez até atrapalhe profissionalmente em termos de networking. Não tenho paciência para fazer amigos na internet e viver em panelas de Twitter, nem tenho muito interesse em ser amiga das “pessoas de tal grupinho”. Não tem nada a ver com desprezo; admiro muitas dessas pessoas, as acompanho e muitas me influenciam diretamente. De algumas eu me tornei colega ou até amiga e com muito gosto. Não é esse o ponto. O ponto é não querer me fechar dentro de um grupo específico, de ter que me esforçar para fazer parte de algo quando o meu interesse não é fazer parte de algo - é apenas fazer o que eu gosto. Não quero ter que necessariamente ser amiga de alguém para que prestem atenção ou respeitem o que eu faço. Não quero ter que competir com ninguém, também. Não faz sentido. Dessa forma, ter uma referência como Thom Yorke é uma espécie de alívio. A partir de então, secretamente passo a adotar para mim mesma a referência de Yorkiana: é uma bobagem, eu sei, mas acho que diz tudo.
One of the most life changing events I've ever had an opportunity to shoot...
Hi,
i am in the search of some weird fishes to go to Primavera festival. I got my ticket for the whole festival but any of my mates had the chance to get one :(
but then i thought what a great opportunity to meet some other weird fishes like me and share this moment.
Now, you are probably asking yourself who am i?
My name is Maria Millan and i am a Londoner. I am a photographer and filmmaker. I am originally from Venezuela and moved to London 5 years ago. People say i am funny, easy going, chill and over all i have a good vive and a solution minded person.
I am a music & film lover. I love traveling, languages, coffee, cake, tea, DIY, Aliens, the smell of wet grass, the sunrise, the sunset, the moon... and yeah, of course, i am a night owl.
Beside Radiohead, i love David Bowie, Talking Heads, Joy Division, LCD SoundSystem, Tame Impala, Caribou, Floating Points, The Doors, The Strokes, etc etc etc.
I am the perfect girl to go on a festival with, plus i speak spanish. I have a friend in BCN where i'll stay but he has to work so hopefully i find some great Radiohead's lovers.

Radiohead new album 2016.
Google 'dawn chorus'. Access the wikipedia page.
Get this :
Dawn chorus (birds)
"International Dawn Chorus Day
An annual International Dawn Chorus Day is held on the first Sunday in May where the public are encouraged to rise early to listen to bird song, at organised events"
My guess is Radiohead will release their 9th album on May the 1st 2016!
Me and my mate love this album dearly. When we started writing our own stuff and doing a little more than covers in pubs (Jigsaw falling into place was a fav), we kept coming back to this record to try and understand how we should mix things like drums etc. It was all recorded in my mates dining room on a rather slow PC. Lots of fun though.

(The track I'd say is most Radiohead-esq would be January snow. We do not wanna sound like them, and we don't. But I hope you can appreciate the influence that they've had).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PHILLLL!
CHEERS!
HAVE A SPECIAL DAY!
ENJOY!
PHIL HAVE FUN BESIDES OF YOUR GOOD FRIENDS FROM RADIOHEAD!
WE LOVE YOU!
