According to the Stephen Malkmus site SM & Jicks will be opening for RH in the US in Aug/Sept. He mentions some cities, but doesn't get too specific. DC was mentioned, by the way.

you can listen to the new radiohead on mtv.com

The announcement on the SM site has been removed. Probably at the request of Radiohead's PR machine.

The same PR machine that recently sent letters from attorneys to anyone that had Radiohead lyrics or tabs on their site demanding that they take them off or face legal consequences?
Is Radiohead turning into Metallica?

I wonder if Malkmus will feel the wrath of the machine?

Well concidering half of Pig Lib is Smashing Pumpkins covers, I'd say he's lost his fighting spirit.

Just a bit. But as he made a big deal of criticizing a band who was very self-indulgent, then making songs equally self-indulgent seems kind of funny.

Radiohead 8.20.03 -- Merriweather Post

Oh, no!
It's partially outdoors.
It's a very, very wet year.
Should we hire some Indians to perform an anti-rain dance?

I already have some on the payroll.....

thank whatever deity made it so that i have nothing to do with that radiohead gig.
-
ugh..i hate merriweather
-
Looking forward too it... saw them last week at that monsoon fest in Jersey... seeing them open with "there there" is worth the price of admission at Merriweather, Nissan, or wherever. And based on this wonderful weather pattern we are caught in right now one can conclude that either: we will never get out of it and RH will never again play in the area, or the weather gods will be done weeping by the middle of the summer and the weather will be great by august.
-
Yeah, I was just coming to post about the Aug 20th Merriweather date. I'm not crazy about that venue. I've seen several shows there (NIN, Metallica) and I feel there's something wrong about its acoustics. If you can't get a seat under the amphitheater, you're screwed. And yes, this being the wonderful soaked summer that its being, the whole thing might turned to a rainy, thunderstorm-y fiasco.
They're playing 2 days earlier at Tweeter center in Philly. That might be a better place to catch them. :cool:

Sorry about the length. This is from a friend in Manchester:

Well I'm excited for this, and it seems to be an ideal situation. Radiohead comes to town, plays at a nice outdoor venue (I think Merriweather has character w/ trees etc. and have grown to love it since Nissan opened). Of course, an earthquake will hit the DC area at 5:00 on August 20th, and due to some mix-up at the hotel, Radiohead will be forced to stay at thatguy's place. That sounds like the next logical step after lightning striking fans in 98 and biblical rains and floods in 01.
-
From Pitchfork: "...the band is planning a second leg of American dates in late September, with Supergrass rumored to be opening." Of course, those dates probably won't be around here.
I did notice that there is one day open between the Philly and Merriweather dates. Think there's a possibility of a second date being added when the first sells out?
-
Damnit! I'm going to be out of town on the 20th! Ugh.

that kicks ass, because i am going to be in Toronto from 8/5-8/18!! that means i can go twice :) I couldnt see them for 5 years, now i can see them 3 times in one summer. when it rains it pours (see field day festival)
-
holy crap!
not only that, but i will be in Seattle on 8/31 for Bumbershoot!!! haha, it gets better every minute!

So they are going to try to go up against Bumbershoot?

Well, I'll be in St. Thomas and odds are they wont be playing there. Sigh. Oh, Bull Run. . .
But I am listening to the new album as we speak. It's fantastic! Small consolation. . .

Assuming I can get tickets I see them in DC AND Chicago. YES!!

I dont really think they are going to "go against" Bumbershoot. They will sell out that pavilion whether Bumbershoot is there or not. And I just wont go to Bumbershoot for that evening :) Radiohead > Bumbershoot

I have already made these plans to travel this summer. Looks like they are following ME around!
-
booo! :(

MCI would have been nice and I'm pretty surethey would have no problem selling it out. It appears they like playing outdoors a lot now. That coupled with the fact that they have both the DC and Baltimore markets taken care of makes it a good venue. I agree with you though. Acoustics are less than ideal but the only acoustics I would prefer would be that of 930 club :D Bull Run would have been nice too for general admission but I think they learned their lesson since it is completely under the mercy of mother nature. Just try to get tickets under the pavillion and you should be fine.

That should be easy! ;) Has anyone figured out how many seats the Pavilion has vs. what the demand will be?

I say lets have it in Baghdad, the crime rate is less per capita than DC.

Merriweather is 20 minutes from my house :)

AND, more convenient for the Baltimore folk. There is the Virginians of course but fuckem! They get such mecca's of music as Nissan, Wolftrap and Patriot. I'd take Merriweather over any of those places any day.
-
I thought Ocean City was the buttcrack of Maryland.
At least in Columbia you don't have black men getting up in your face asking you for change like you do every five minutes in DC. One of these days I'm going to punch one of those fuckers.

Yeah!! Columbia is really just a yuppie suburb. not much there but the mall and MPP. Its really, i think, an ok place to see a show, and traffic is never bad, and its not in freaking Manassas!!! If its a nice night, it beats MCI anyday, but if not, hope you're in the pavilion! Although, hearing Thom sing "the raindrops, the raindrops" over and over in the rain would be cool.
-
excellent, now the show's at 6:30pm. that's a great time to have a show in the middle of the week right? getting out of the city that day, at that time, will be a real treat.
last time i tried to get up to the pavillion to see a show was back in 96 for the wu-tang/ratm tour. we were stuck in bumber to bumber traffic for nearly two hours. missed wu-tang completely and managed to catch the tail end of ratm, yay! i didn't know zach was one inch tall either. money and time well spent.
:roll:

Don't go if it's such a pain in the arse to leave the city....I'm sure Thom and the boys will get over it.

well for once i can walk to a show -- :) i live across the street - unfortunately they are tearing down merriweather next year (i believe) - can't compete with nissan.

Or by 7:30 (door time) to a show at the 9:30 Club. Not to mention the long drive home.
Sonic, don't you think DC is full of whiners? :p They think it's nothing for us to trek down there every week or so but Heaven forbid that they are expected to come this way once in a Blue moon.

when was this announced? i thought it was 7.30 or 8pm?

radiohead could play a private show in the backyard of each of their fans and pay them for the use of the yard and someone would complain that they trampled their petunias. if you want to see a show enough, you deal with where it is, or how much it costs, or whatever else. if not, don't go. it's really that simple.

Took me a minute but then I got it.
At least it won't be boxed or have a screw top.
I take that back, plenty of screws on top. :eek: Loose ones!

LOL...I don't know what it is about Radiohead, but they really encourage people like me to whine and moan. I'll bet Thatguy would love to personally pummel each of our skinny (well not in my case), vegetarian (also not in my case), pale (blame it on the rain) asses into the ground, and with good reason. I freely admit that I've done my share of complaining around here. But I also think that it's a good place to voice an opinion or thought (isn't that what this is for?), especially in the case of ticket scalpers snapping up all the good seats before any of the fans and then selling them for 6 times the original price and putting them up for sale BEFORE the crappy seats even go on sale on Ticketbastard. For that, I feel like a complaint is justified, not matter who the band is. It's just an unfortunate situation but that being said I'm happy with my extremely far right loge seats because at least I'm going to be there. I'm sure it will be a great (early) show. :)
-
So last night I finally received a video of the Radiohead MTV2 $2 concert in NYC. Did anyone else see it? Mind tinglingly, heart racing good. Idioteque has always been my favorite live song mainly because Thom just goes nuts. And this was the best version of it that I've seen. The new stuff sounds so excellent as well. Stellar show -made me very excited for August!
-
Radiohead has been in full and heavy rotation for me for a couple of weeks now. I'm seeing them at Merriweather and in Chicago...and I cannot wait. I'm excited by the prospect of them playing 2 completely different sets...hopefully in one of them I'll get to hear "Like Spinning Plates", "Karma Police", "Just", "Street Spirit", "True Love Waits", and maybe "How to Disappear Completely". I have to say I appreciate them more now than I did a couple of years ago. This will probably be the concert event of the summer.
