OK - typical LA story....this morning i find out that Thom Yorke from Radiohead is playing a warm up show to his 2 sold out gigs next week with flea at this teeny tiny shitty club in hollywood. tix on sale @ noon. i got 4 other ppl online trying to get tix. the SECOND the clock hit 12, we all click...shit sold out immediately! THEN we find out that there is a release party upstairs from this teeny tiny club for the muse. evidently, there was never ever even the slightest chance that anyone was going to be able to buy tix tonite. i'm sure they are all going to industry people, label weenies and the like.
granted, i have had a full life of radiohead experiences - but that's an entirely different blog, all together - so i can die happy and satisfied, really. but i really would have liked to see thom do some of his solo stuff live at an intimate little club like that. (even if flea is shitting all over it on bass) it's just something about living in LA that you can't just have anything to yourself. EVERYONE is into EVERYTHING you are into. comics, movies, music, art - everything has a crowd and everything sells out in minutes. (except, oddly enough, virtually every band my x ever played in)
and as far as muse are concerned? they can suck it! they've always been the poor man's radiohead - the band that people say...i used to like radiohead before they got all art-y, now i like muse. fuck those guys. fuck that guy for trying to sound like thom yorke. if i had one person say to me: you like radiohead, you should like the muse, i had 10 people say it to me - and they can suck it too! how typical for there to be a party at the same place thome yorke is playing - how bloody original...be the promotional genius who thought that up got a big bonus.
the only other think i'd like beside seeing thom yorke play some solo stuff in a small club would be to sit down and have dinner with him. then i could really die happy.
