On your marks ...
In August, it'll be official: my transformation (mutation?) into a full-fledged Radioheadhead - the kind of geeked-out superfan who follows the band around on tour.
I'm sticking to just Cali stops for the oodles of superfun, but here are all those West Coast dates, announced Monday, for completists' sake:
Tuesday, 8-19 Vancouver, British Columbia - Thunderbird Stadium
Wednesday, 8-20 Auburn, WA - White River Amphitheatre
Friday, 8-22 San Francisco, CA - Golden Gate Park (Outside Lands Festival)
Sunday, 8-24 Los Angeles, CA - Hollywood Bowl
Monday, 8-25 Los Angeles, CA - Hollywood Bowl
Wednesday, 8-27 Chula Vista, CA - Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre
Thursday, 8-28 Santa Barbara, CA - Santa Barbara Bowl
Some partially Aussi, fully badass dudes called Liars will open the shows ('cept Outside Lands - we wouldn't want to taint the $225 hippie stinkfest with another good band, would we?).
Get set ...
A presale through Radiohead's Web site is scheduled April 9, U.K. time - a.k.a. anytime my time, a.k.a. no sleep 'til presale.
Everyone's five favorite performers (aren't they the best?) also recently recorded a spanky live version of "Bangers & Mash," unveiled Monday (but I still can't get into it; kinda sorta really the least developed track from the batch of new stuff that reveals they are, in fact, fallible).
The performance was part of the launch of Pitchfork Media's foray into boob-tube territory, the new music video site Pitchfork.TV, which also aired a live performance from Liars, footage of Man Man lighting fireworks (and recording their new album) on the streets of Philly and an entire documentary about the reunited Pixies. So ...
Go!
ahead and rot your brains at Pitchfork's new site, updated daily with lots of goodies. Yum.
