shelled out for tickets? they wanted something like Â£73 + booking fee here.

fuck that.

BTW, check the ticekt prices and for the UK tour its 47,5 pounds plus 5 fees. its not cheap but surely not 73+, something seemed wrong

That's what I was told the London show cost. 2nd hand info, admittedly... They aren't playing Scotland so I didn't bother double checking.

Every stupid ass indie fuck is playing a Jag.

To be fair this actually is on the button and only comment on indie stars rather than jag owners. Me and Fran have pointed this out before, offsets are as much a cliche of a certain musical identity as much as super strats and metal.

You were pretty much right actually - London standing tickets were Â£65 plus a Â£6 fee from Radiohead's own website.

I love Jags, just don't own one. Jags and Teles, that's what I'm seeing. Honestly I don't see them much except for Youtube clips and Late night talk shows.

I've been wondering that myself... Arcade Fire's O2 show was about Â£35 for standing tickets and they seem to have like a dozen band members and still gave a bunch of the money away.

I guess the answer is as simple as 'because they can'.

He made regular use of a Clapton Strat back in the day because the gold lace sensors are neutral sounding and take effects well.

Have fun at Coachella, my first festival was Coachella '07. Trying to get within a mile of Radiohead at Outside Lands '08 was impossible though, so I'd get close to the stage about 2 bands before and then not have to piss for a few hours.

that's going to be tough holding my piss. i'll be there just for the music. i don't need the performance necessarily, and i think we'll be able to listen from afar.

i went in '06, and got close enough for bloc party, tool, massive attack, yeah yeah yeahs, etc., and it was fucking nuts being so close with so many people behind you.

massive attack:

bloc party:

this time i'm 6 years older, and definitely feel that way. fiesta and i will be hanging on the outskirts, i reckon. the festival duration will be grueling enough, plus we got the two 3 day passes for $200 ($300/piece normally).
