for a wonderful night in LA. ~~

thinking of you : )

здравствуйте, любимые.
как же я соскучилась.

A Moon Shaped Pool великолепен.

все эти шаги из хрусталя

ближе чем когда-либо

Клипы, виньетки, фотографии, арты от Стенли.. вы нас балуете))))

как обидно,что в этот раз не получается попасть на концерты.. в этом году - без шансов.

я тут.. нарисовала кое-что.
вернее,я только учусь обращаться с этими материалами, но вроде что-то получилось.

My first Radiohead concert was 15 years ago so I am celebrating by attending shows this summer in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Austin. I bought my vinyl copy of AMSP the night before it officially came out in June because I couldn’t wait until I received my deluxe version in September. Radiohead’s taught me so much about creativity in art and life that I thought I’d try a Radiohead experiment with my extra ticket to their 8/8 show in LA.

Fourteen months ago I moved from Chicago to Los Angeles to change the world of comedy borrowing heavily from Radiohead’s playbook. From the constant tinkering of art, to grassroots use of social media, to selling art directly to fans, Radiohead influences on a daily basis. 

By day, I work as an attorney, but I'm trying to segue into full-time comedy production. If you have an extra job in comedy (full-time, part-time, temporary) and want to trade it for my extra ticket, let's make a deal.

I dim my light so yours can shine
I don't mind, I don't mind.
If you just say that I'm alright
I don't mind, I don't mind.
I get so tired and I don't 
think it's worth the fight
so I don't mind, 
it's alright, it's alright.

Went to a party,
tried to be good
Sat in the corner,
eyes down as I should

Didn't stop you
from wondering aloud
why I can't ever seem
to blend with the crowd.

I sat on the couch
and tried to be nice
'til your high school friend
put his hand on my thigh--

Now how do you suppose you might feel
if every friendship you thought might be real
was a clever ploy to get in your bed?
I'll tell you straight up--it fucks with your head.

____________

Trying to get rid of some brain worms. They keep twisting and turning in my head and messing with my thoughts. I can't bear to look myself in the eye these days. I guess I need better boundaries but I already have a million walls, I don't want to put up another one. I shouldn't feel like I have to.

wishing a beautiful time in Montreal

~~ good good luck for a great night!!!

<3 <3

Best show ever. I still cant believe that we actually saw radiohead im still in shock... 

Great set guys 

I live in Idaho and purchased tickets for myself and my father who lives in LA. I pretty much cried tears of joy when I realized I ACTUALLY scored tickets. Radiohead has been dad and my favorite band together for years. As of last month dad landed himself back in prison. So here I am, stuck in Idaho, with 2 tickets to the years best show. Even if I could make it to LA I wouldn't be able to enjoy the show without him there. It breaks my fucking heart. The insane rules that are in place for redeeming tickets is preventing me from selling them. What the F$%cK DO I DO!!!! I want these to go to another TRUE fan. Help :(

Please tell me, am I too paranoid?

Is it in my head
Is it in my head
Is in my head here at the start?
Is it in my head
Is it in my head
Is it in my head, or in my heart?

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

Like-minded Radiohead fans,

Anyone have an extra pit ticket? I don't mind paying you more for it - the money isn't the issue. I just want the money to go to a true fan who needs the money, rather than some dirt scumbag who resells these tickets for a living. I know the rules are super strict and ID is required with entry/tickets. Do the presale tickets have the purchasers name on them as well?

...........................

Dearest Radiohead,

I love you. I've traveled trains, planes and automobiles to see your shows. My favorite is to binge-you and do back-to-back performances.  You haven't played in LA since 2012 ( i believe - Santa Barbara) and I couldn't score tickets for that  show either. It's probably been 10 years since I've seen you and within that decade, 3rd Party Sellers have severely infected the live-performance industry. Super frustrating when your favorite thing to do is to go to 'a show.' Maddening when that 'show' is your favorite group of musicians. 

The distance is breaking my heart

PS. Bergamo, Italy (Summer of 2003) was when I knew we would always be lovers.

good good luck

Mr. Bloom

A bright splash of toilet water
from the top hat
of late Mr. Bloom.

He had failed to yield at a stop sign,
kept tapping his cane
across Broadway, was run over
by one of those broom-
sweeping vehicles.

The ridiculous length of his stove pipe.
I’d bought it on eBay
for temporary use—first as a fish bowl.
Then, as the weather
drew worse, an aeruginous hole in the ice.

My rod was a vertiginous stick of bamboo
tied to a pink line of telephone cord;
I had hammered a nail into the shape
of something between a ‘j’ and a ‘u’

then stole out to hook a couple piranhas
with a minimal strip of fortune; something
about flying squirrels from last week’s cookie.
Lucky numbers 32, 33, 36, 5, 55, 10.

***

I watched the monstrous pigeons splash
until the next morning woke for me
to unfold his wobbly-legged, jerry-
built ladder, up which I led
a flickering 60-watt
angle, climbing
an Eiger before arriving
beneath the roof of late Mr. Bloom.
It was there that I found the lemon sail ​
of his kite in line with a last bullet
from his postcard–by coffin nail, socked
to a rafter. Its flying saucer shape was
that of a squirrel and quite the dumb show,
hanging dead over a properly labeled box:

Three fly swatters, five yo-yos, two tennis trophies
followed by a grenade of No Replacements Found.

***

Tired of the minimal frill
and luxury
of Bloom’s attic-
space,

I lowered his lemon sail
through a passing flock
of cumulous, descended
the diminished scale
of his ladder’s pike,
proceeded to firmly
plant my left boot
on the mattress
I had placed
to cushion
any little fear of falling
to my very own death.

***

In line with his last request,
I added a flattened fifth
to his postcard’s
minor scale of bullets
and points then folded ​
the ladder back to the cull
of its accordion shape
before setting off
for a great field.
There I would dust
his lemon sail off, patch
what the nail had pierced,
the moths had chewed.

***

The wind’s song came early
with dawn’s pink proverbial
chink of bright key notes.
I made short work
of the lemon sail’s repair—
patched what the nail
had pierced, the moths
had chewed then went
to swap the kite’s spine
and spar with a pliable
cross of bamboo. In line
with his last bullet,
I crept a bleach-tight line
and, in his own sky-
blue suit, thought myself quite
Klee’s Portrait of an Equilibrist—
All the way to the dead
galactic crown of Bloom’s
blue pitch, which he had kept
central to increase the wind’s song.​

***

Adding a crooked pulse
to the wind’s
perse of tremolo,
with a javelin’s toss,
I lent his lemon sail up
a scorpion’s scale,
brightly watched
the ridiculous splice
of pink cord
curl off the spool
‘til the line cut
and the kite’s tail bit
into a puff of cumulous,
which then spread
for Bloom’s last orange
wisp of hair.

With the progressive disappearance of W.A.S.T.E, DEAD AIR SPACE, the erasure of tweets, posts, videos, photographs from the band’s social media accounts, including profile and cover pictures, Radiohead helped solidify the buildup surrounding their ninth studio album, suggesting that through A Moon Shaped Pool’s recording (a stop & go effort spanning two years of “working in limits,” repairing tired tracks through, as Jonny Greenwood cryptically put, the pairing of “very old and very new technology,”) they had found yet another way to shift shape, perhaps rescale the topography of music’s digitized circuitry. While their lesson stopped short of how to disappear completely, the performance piece certainly evoked the cleaning of a slate, adding gravity to the initial pun of New Dawn Chorus LLP–the record company created months before the digital version of the album’s May 8th release. More or less, Yorke and company were announcing that A.M.S.P would pour wax over the idea that, after 30 years of defying caricature and habituation, they had finally cooled off, run out of luck; exhausted all options, channels, mediums which might yield yet another metamorphosis. Especially with a modest portion of the album rumored to comprise recycled tracks that, even if based upon their most recent performances, wouldn’t stand alone, let alone surpass (and then only mirror) the level of invention and influence still hailing from their release of Kid A | Amnesiac, In Rainbows just to name a few. But clearly there had to be some substance behind the calculated gesture, which implied, even after A.M.S.P’s mp3 release, that something remained buried beneath the surface. Like many W.A.S.T.E followers not immediately blown away with the digitized version, I pre-ordered the vinyl unable to refrain from the hope that–somewhere within the grooves of the dated medium–there was something like Maxwell’s Demon at play, still luring. That after the band’s many demurs, a pattern was beginning to emerge–something to do with the mail and how the sound would be delivered.

Before furrowing into the viability of anything singular lurking within the vinyl’s long-playing format, we should attend to W.A.S.T.E–Radiohead’s official website and online store. While admittingly insular, the shadowy acronym, We Await Silent Trystero’s Empire– was first coined by Thomas Pynchon with the publication of his first and only novella, The Crying of Lot 49. The puzzling cipher signifies the distorting counterforce of Trystero–a postal medium that, not lacking clairvoyance, weighs upon the significance of how information is delivered. In this context, Pynchon foresees how the increasing digitization of communication will corrode context and ultimately determine identity itself. Like the many demurs leading to A.M.S.P’s vinyl shipment–the most glaring being Radiohead’s mailing of leaflets to fans who had previously preordered albums through W.A.S.T.E’s website–the original cipher keeps resurfacing through the text–on postage stamps, suburban sidewalks, bathroom stalls, a Victorian signet ring–to keep Oeidipa Maas ultimately lost as she turns through the circuitry of The Crying of Lot 49’s cybernetic moor. Seen in this light, Lot 49’s novel within a novel delivers a respectable framework for why Radiohead would bother with the trouble of engineering something as harrowing as an album within an album. Distributed through such an outdated and therefore decentralized medium, the band would be creating (yet once again) an unfounded experience. Most significant, disseminated specifically through this dated context, the release of the vinyl would generate a singular demand for a sense of texture that centralized, digital formats simply cannot afford. Since the expiration of the band’s contract with EMI, Radiohead has continued to explore formats and methods of distribution to ultimately destabilize the centralized forces that dictate how music is disseminated. While this campaign has mainly focused upon generating exposure to various file-sharing platforms, encouraging other artists to distribute and therefore rightfully pocket digital sales, there is no reason why they would not shift their efforts to a far more decentralized format. What’s more, the band’s seeming departure from this previous standard (allowing A.M.S.P’s digitally to be purchased through i-tunes & amazon) only adds to the delusion that something metaphysical would in fact manifest through the standard service of the mail.

I hear the great news that Radiohead haven't lost touch with anything they've done in the past, but this footage is unendurable. Where's the quality recording, high production values you get in the likes of Austin City Limits, Paris 2001 Amnaesiac - Kid A, or MTV $2 Bill concerts. Bonnaroo 2012. Saitama 2008. Please tell us that Radiohead is going to release their own recordings of concerts from this tour.

Please. Please. Please.
