I in no way benefit from this post -- which is extremely annoying to me -- I'm just doing it out of the splendor of my incredbile goodness and heart. You're welcome. Yesterday there were increasing whispers about Radiohead announcing a new tour, and this morning they have -- sorta. It's several shows in Europe and the U.K. and you can see them in the new artwork above or you can see them here along with an extremely complicated process for securing said tickets. No U.S. shows and no current plans for them -- honestly I'd be shocked if they come to the U.S. at all while our current President is being such a bitch but I suppose we'll see. So if you live in one of those cities or if you're wealthy enough to travel -- and hey if you're that wealthy you're wealthy enough to pay for a plus one who lives in NYC right??? -- there's your info. What I care about and why I'm really doing this post is the new artwork that Radiohead's usual artist Stanley Donwood has created for the tour -- I'm a big enough Radiohead nerd that it must be documented. I had been thinking it might hint toward a new album, this new artwork, but Radiohead member Phil Selway's comments this morning on Instagram make me dial back my expectations on a new album being imminent; here's what Phil said:
"Last year, we got together to rehearse, just for the hell of it. After a seven year pause, it felt really good to play the songs again and reconnect with a musical identity that has become lodged deep inside all five of us. It also made us want to play some shows together, so we hope you can make it to one of the upcoming dates. For now, it will just be these ones but who knows where this will all lead."
