I am so pissed off right now. I was there (online) the SECOND the tix were made "available"...and nothing! They were all "gone". Of course, I go to craigslist and voila! There are thousands of tickets available at at least 5x the original price.
Believe me, I am not a cynic. But I do know this can be done better. And at least some of the blame, even if it's a tiny amount, has to go to Thom and the boys. Yes. They're way past the point where they need the system. They don't need the system. And they're supposed to be against the system, anyway.
And BTW, how in the world did some of you get pre-sale tix?? I visited waste-central and radiohead.com starting on Wednesday religiously and I never saw any tix available. Where the heck were they?

From : "Consequenceofsound.net"
"Like an itchy character in a Stephen King novel, Thom Yorke keeps coming back. This time, he spoke with Rolling Stone, where he laid one bombshell piece of news: Radiohead will record in December and January.
“We can get things together quite rapidly at the moment,” Yorke said, name dropping a new track titled “Come to Your Senses”. “We have this version of it. It’s a five-minute rehearsal, but it has the essence of what we need.” He stated they have a “few of those”, and added, “It would be fun to have them ready when we go to play next year. I don’t know how we would release them. It would be nice to make it all part of the flow and just enjoy it – not think about it too much.”
Speaking of touring, Yorke explained that putting the The King of Limbs material on-stage was harder than they imagined. He digressed on working with additional drummer Clive Deamer, adding: “In ‘Bloom,’ when Clive goes from the electro pads to the live kit, and my guitar shoots up an octave, I’m like, ‘Wow!’ When we came up with that, it was like, ‘OK, we got it.’” Deamer is a crucial key in bringing Limbs‘ lush recordings to life, but also one of the reasons the band hasn’t toured yet, due to his commitments with Portishead. As Radiohead’s manager Chris Hufford explained, “He wasn’t available and it’s why we couldn’t go out on tour until next year.”
On the topic of Atoms for Peace, Yorke insisted that there will be an LP before the end of the year, though he also added, “It’s not good enough yet.” The magazine reached Nigel Godrich for comment, who reiterated, “The idea was to generate the music, then record the band. We did that. Some of it worked. We also went back to some of the electronic stuff. It’s still in flux. We’re waiting for the lightning bolt to strike.”
So to recap: Radiohead will record in two months, Radiohead will tour next year, and Atoms for Peace will put out a record. Okay, now are you happy?"

A quote of one comment on YouTube (the video was "Street Spirit (Fade Out) live @ Glastonbery 2003" and I lost the link). Honestly, I'm crying my heart out listening to this song (figuratively, yeah)
Actually, according to him, this is what he feels while playing THIS SONG, in front of "a crowd" :
"It drains me, and it shakes me, and hurts like hell everytime I play it, looking out at thousands of people cheering and smiling, oblivious to the tragedy of it's meaning, like when you're going to have your dog put down and it's wagging it's tail on the way there. That's what they all look like, and it breaks my heart."

listening to The Doors' Alabama Song I was looking through the Net's dictionaries (the most popular from Russian Internet-resourses is Lingvo.Yandex.ru) when I found this:
Translations of words Johnny, Green, Wood
ooh! It made my day! :D
Well, according to these lists of translations
Johnny means:
- 1) больничная сорочка с завязкой на спине - a long white shirt that is worn in the hospitals. Has anyone seen "Dr. House" or "Scrubs"? :D or smth like this. It also has strings on the back. (and I imagine that it made from polka-dot fabric, blue on white.)
- 2) брит. разг. презерватив - in informal British it means condom
- 3) = john - having gone through link I learned that it has the meaning toilet except detective or Chinese
Green means not only the color, but inexperienced, immature, fresh, new, naive, youthful. Well, it's not so comical and funny as the previous one.
Wood is used for describing something made from wood (thx, Captain Ovbiously!) but
one item in the list made me cry: шар для кегельбана - a ball to play Kegelbahn, German game almost the same as bowling, howewer balls have no holes to pick it up.
or it means кафедра проповедника, a cathedra (pulpit) of preacher in a chirch
The word Greenwood means just green_wood, deciduous forest, if you want. Nothing special.
After that I began to joke like Petrosyan and to draw pics in Photoshop (just changing original photos of Johny)
(if someone doesn't know who it is - it's famous Russian stand-up comic, famous for his unhumorous stupid jokes in the way of Captain)
So! Into Russian you can translate Johnny Greenwood as (I'll write in Rus and the sense of it in Eng) :
- Мистер Презерватив Зеленое Дерево - Mr. Condom Green Tree (or Презерватив Зеленый Лес, almost the same in English)
- Мистер Презерватив Зеленый Шар Для Кегельбана - Mr. Condom Green Ball for playing Kegelbahn :D
- and the longest I think: Мистер Больничая Рубашка С Завязками На Спине Неопытный Шар Для Кегельбана - Mr. Long White Shirt With Strings On The Back Worn In The Hospitals Inexperienced Ball To Play Kegelbahn. oh fuck!
and other combinations. I painted the photo of Greenwood playing guitar in one concert illustrating the last sentence but changed inexperienced just to green (color) 'cause I don't know how to show this word in the picture :D see it: link. I decided not to draw a condom because it is not politically correct, yep. :D
I also checked meaning of Thom but found only Tom - an ordinary man or a male of an animal. Nothing out of the way. because we cannot name our dear Thom - An Ordinary Man From Yorke :D because he isn't ordinary, really.
oh, fuck. :D You bastards, you see how we learn English in the classes :D
This Christmas I have such a small Christmas tree (that's because my dad wanted to buy it today when there's completely no trees left) but beautifully decorated. :)
And I just want to wish you Merry Christmas!
