daft punk.  i'll get on a plane to anywhere to see them (unlike smackie, apparently)

That's where you're wrong.  It's in my marriage contract that I get to go anywhere in the world to see them at the drop of a hat, no questions asked.

we are pleased to hear that the re-negotiations went so well!

Why wouldn't/couldn't you see Radiohead again?

I just feel like I never will. They only play enormodomes. It costs a billion dollars to get good seats. They haven’t had a good album in a decade. In theory, I’d love to see them again — they’re one of the best bands of my lifetime — but in practice, no I will probably not schlep to Philly to see them play a bunch of King of Limbs songs.

i guess this just as good a jumping point as any:

"Radiohead.com has always been a) infuriatingly uninformative and b) surprising. The most surprising thing to do next, therefore, is to suddenly become incredibly informative. So that is what we have done.

We present: the RADIOHEAD PUBLIC LIBRARY, an online resource containing everything we have ever done… well, more or less. Videos, music, artwork, websites, merchandise, and assorted ephemera."

pretty much what is says on the tin: online content organized by album (use colored squares at top right to jump between albums).


EDIT: from NME, 10 things in the new Radiohead Public Library that are getting fans very, very excited

Dude, Thom and the boys are so afraid of losing the Julian’s America vote. That was quick.

You’re all welcome.

Hatch did you see the Rollins Band played Black Flag show at the club a million years ago?  That owned…even had Keith do a couple of early numbers!

The highlight of that show for me was right after Keith's mini-set when Henry came out with Ian MacKaye and did Rise Above together, fucking great.

Not holding my breath for it to fucking happen but I'll travel anywhere in the world for a Cocteau Twins reunion.
Also I wish Richard Hawley would do a goddamn US tour already.

for bearman: Aphex Twin.

I'd go to that one.

I'm grateful I got to at least see that one…

It's hard to think of any current artists I haven't seen but still perform. I guess I'd like to see the current Misfits thing. Neil Young. The House of Love (whichever lineup Guy Chadwick is putting together). David Byrne. Hole (sounds like the classic lineup is rehearsing).

Bands I wish I could see if I could time travel: Joy Division, Husker Du, the Doors, Bryan Jones-era Stones, Motorhead (no Sleep Til Hammersmith era), The B-52's with Ricky Wilson (Wild Planet era), Pylon, the Gun Club, the Cramps, Minor Threat, Black Flag w/Chuck Biscuits on drums, Circle Jerks w/Chuck Biscuits or Lucky Lehrer, the Jam, Bowie circa Station to Station, the Who circa Tommy, Big Black, the Smiths, the Fall.

Bands I'm glad that I saw while I could: The Stooges, Red House Painters (when Gorden Mack was still on guitar), Cocteau Twins, Galaxie 500, Heatmiser, Elliott Smith, Nirvana, Lou Reed, Material Issue, Lush, INXS, the Germs (okay, Darby wasn't there, but that show was still insane and incredible), the Buzzcocks, Beastie Boys, the Ramones, George Michael, RUN DMC, Grant Hart, AC/DC (though I guess a version of them will be touring soon), Rush, Soft Cell.

Different negotiating partner.

Would be cool if Mclusky played again. Glad I got to see them originally

mr. bungle
tool (only half joking… they just announced additional dates, but nothing near me)

Uncle tupelo

With you on Mr Bungle!

Pearl Jam apparently… got bumpkiss in ten club lottery, like an idiot didn’t sign for the presale and watched the website apparently crash during the regular sale..

Am seriously considering letting my ten club membership lapse, seeing as how infrequent they do full scale tour’s anymore

Yes I’m in full on whiny mode at the moment

Sucks kosmo… Every Ten club member I know scored tickets but the general onsale was a bloodbath.

I'm sure they'll do a massive tour this fall… Not that tickets would be any eaiser but two east coast dates with one of them being in a tiny arena doesn't make for easy tickets.

Are you saying this was a natural DC show?

Kate Bush

Wait no longer.

Filmed by the UK's Granada Television channel in April 1979 and originally intended for broadcast as part of the 'On The Road' tv series, this concert was performed as part of Kate Bush's Tour Of Life. However, due to live technical problems at the time and some flaws in the performance, the video tapes were archived and remained unbroadcast for the next 40 years until their discovery in 2019.

This is the complete show. It includes raw and unedited camera angles, backstage chat between technicians, band members and Kate Bush herself.
