This is what studio TLW needs to sound like. Make it sound like a Basinski composition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Radio Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Looks like no Radiohead gigs for me this summer... Three of them will be postponed and I doubt I can go to Berlib twice in one year. I really hope they're going to play in August after the Olympics and before September, otherwise I won't be able to see them unless I get my arse on a plane to Paris. Don't get me wrong, I'm not angry with them and I completely understand the band need to postpone the gigs for their own sake. I'm just disappointed I won't be seeing them as soon as I'd hoped. At least I've seen them already; I can't imagine how those who didn't feel like at this point. Awful, really awful. :( I really really really hope for that too. If I'm not able to see them live, then I'm not going to refund, but give money to Scott's family. (I read on Mortigi or AtEase that this is somehow possible too.)

Ms Magpie Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Do not give money to anyone UNLESS Radiohead or Scott's family specifically asked for that. The gig's gonna be rescheduled for September so don't plan anything for autumn just yet!! :nice: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Radio Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 ^Uh I guess you're right. I'm just really shattered with all these happenings. I still hope that they will reschedule it for August, so I can see them while on Summer holidays. But September's okay too I hope. :) EDIT: And btw, is it confirmed that it will be rescheduled for September? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumbersGirl Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 EDIT: And btw, is it confirmed that it will be rescheduled for September? Not yet (I don't think), but considering they already had most of August/September off on their schedule anyway, that seems to be the most likely scenario.

Gautama Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 That gig was like the one utterly great fantastic happy thing I was looking forward to for a couple of years now (well, not THAT gig, but seeing them live one day), so major, major blow. The drum tech's death makes it very easy to abstain from self-pity though, non? :( I hope they'll be able to cheer up before they start touring again, in celebration of Scott and life and stuff...

Well it's not confirmed but I got insider info that I'm pretty sure is accurate. They couldn't tell me the exact day as they didn't know it just yet but they said it's definitely in September (and I didn't even ask when the gig would take place).

NumbersGirl Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 The guy uses this as the "basis" for his argument:But it has highlighted the band's more ordinary difficulties-and even fundamental disagreements-with the mechanics of live performance. Ummm... exactly how is that unique to Radiohead? OH WAIT IT'S NOT I understand some of the points he's trying to make, but using the above statement as the basis pretty much makes his argument moot imho. Nobody would have been writing stuff like this if the stage hadn't collapsed. If it happened to a different band, people would have been writing the same poop about that band instead. Fickle is as fickle does. The root of the issue as far as that's concerned was highlighted in a different article recently which indicated there are proposed changes to North American ad-hoc stage set-up procedures. Part of the problem is that the support structure is comprised of aluminum because that crap is cheap to transport (because it's so light). Steel supports need to be used instead (which apparently is required to some degree in other areas of the world). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Radio Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Yay! I can go to Udine but I don't think I can swing Berlin. I'll make it to the concert. I don't know how, but I will. :wacky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Rez Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I've always wanted to get more into Radiohead. I've been curious about them lately. The only CD I have from them is their debut, Pablo Honey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Magpie Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I'll make it to the concert. I don't know how, but I will. :wacky:Yay! I hope to see you there! And if you can't make it, be sure to ask for a refund till the end of July, they're only accepting them until 30 July, I think. I've always wanted to get more into Radiohead. I've been curious about them lately. The only CD I have from them is their debut, Pablo Honey.What kind of music do you like? I mean, are you more into electronicky or rock stuff? In any case, I'd start with In Rainbows because it kinda has a mix of both, and then go with Hail to the Thief if you like electronic music or with the Bends/OK Computer if you like rock. Just my 2 cents, though. :smiley: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it might not seem logical from the perspective that it's their 7th album; but that was my starting point when I first started listening to them a year and a half ago. Worked for me. I'm hooked.
