Right now, hundreds upon hundreds, nay - maybe even thousands of people are queueing up to see a very very tiny, very small - miniscule, Radiohead gig. It was originally going to be in the Rough Trade record shop, but has since been moved to a nearby venue, 93 Feet East. This is probably due to safety reasons, but I'm preferring to think that someone phoned in a bomb threat, and the decision was made to move the band because the relevant authorities are more than happy to let Radiohead and their fans die horrible in a blazing inferno, but didn't want any Sonic Youth import B-sides albums to get any blast damage.
One of the most exciting events of last year was of course, Radiohead making the notably un-revolutionary decision to release their latest masterpiece on the internet. I personally found this twice as exciting as it meant scrawny Radiohead fans stayed indoors reading the Shock Doctrine and feeling very happy indeed with themselves for liking such a revolutionary band. The lack of radiohead fans on the street all I had to do to have fun was to turn off the internet and enjoy a brisk walk in the great outdoors.
