So, word is out: tickets for Radiohead's 'intimate venue' shows are gonna start going on sale this friday; and yes, they are gonna be harder to get a hold of than even those damn Wonka tickets. I'll be sure to give it the old college try come friday morning. But considering they sell out 2 nights at MSG in a matter of seconds, and this time around they're playing the Theater at MSG (a venue maybe 1/10th the capacity), I'm being realistic. (I know the venue doesn't get much blog love, but I saw Franz Ferdinand there last year and thought the place was much better than a lot of the other venues in the city).
If I don't get lucky with friday's ticket sale, there's always the Philly shows on sale the next morning. Hopefully it won't come to that though, cuz although it'd be cool to take a road trip and see them at a venue I haven't been to before, there's just too many other good shows going on around here that night, such as:
Super Furry Animals @ South Street Seaport: A great live band for frees! Can't beat that.
The Stills and Rogue Wave @ Maxwells: Just found out about this through BV. 2 bands I really like on the same bill. Should be a good show.
The Benson Interruption @ UCB Theater: Doug Benson is one of my favorite comedians, and he's finally bringing his L.A. show to NY, with some big guests. And it's at midnight, so if I end up in the city that night, I'll be able to make this and the SFA show.
