Radiohead

Better Than: Talking in maths, buzzing like a fridge.

“This is one from Kid A that we kind of lost sight of,” Thom Yorke told a nearly sold-out crowd (18,000 is my guess) last night in St. Louis. “It seems very pertinent now to us,” he continued, and his band, Radiohead, launched into “Optimistic.”

Pertinent, indeed. In addition to this massive-selling tour, Radiohead oughta feel pretty good about the millions it raked in after offering its latest album for sale online for as much as fans wanted to pay for it, even if that meant absolutely zero quid. I paid £10 pounds for In Rainbows and $61 plus travel expenses to see ’em last night, and I regret nary a pence.
