Death Magnetic back to back plus a few random bonuses, if you ask me. For those who will go, I really hope I'm wrong.

Bedroom Foos > First demo Foos > Early Foos > Recent Foos > Nirvana (ops, sorry, this last bit is wrong)

I'll be there with an army of mexicans

I saw them at the Camden Crawl. They looked quite unfocused, half ideas here and there, and with very bad sound, in part due to some of them playing incomprehensibly far from the mic. But they're hot :)

London

(Alice Glass loves me, she NEEDS to see me there)

But I must admit I copied

he also snorted Keith Richard's father's ashes

(how's it going with Simpsons' references 'round here?)

Nick playing an in-store at HMV in Oxford Street on the same day? Not enough ironic?

written about castles? People like songs about living in castles...

But on the other side, Radiohead will still publish the cd with a major label, and a lot of people (me first) will buy it that way. So it's fairly irritating reading around that they 'defeated the music industry'.

slightly off topic, but Prince gave away is latest album free with a newspaper. It was just a couple of months ago. He did it without his label's consensus too. And it was the physical object - no crappy-160kpbs-download-with-a-regular-cd-soon-to-come bullshit. You couldn't offer more even if you wanted. But nobody said he was going to save music. Poor Prince :'-(

Radiohead's site crashes for excessive traffic (not so unlikely) and they don't get the album? ;)

Blue album = best album ever recorded (or something like that)

Beverly Hills = worst song ever conceived after "We built this city on rock'n'roll" by Jefferson Starship

he actually meant that having artistic merits doesn't pay the bills

who realized that the first time is for Reading and the second is for Leeds - therefore no such backwards thing? I should be elected President of the World.

An italian guy already did that mirror thing in the 80s. The record was called "Faccia da pirla" (= dumbface, or along the lines). THAT was genius.

I've never been to Alexandra Palace... is sound really that bad? How bad exactly? Is it better or worse than Royal Albert Hall? I'll be seeing Arcade Fire two more times this summer (mostly coincidence), I love them live but I'm not sure I'll be left hungry for more. If the acoustics suck, end of the story.
Please let me know, thanks...
