Tickets to catch up-and-coming indie outfit Radiohead's two night stand at the Roseland went on sale at 10:00 a.m., and it went great/horrible! Don't worry, if you didn't get tickets, you can always learn about the shows the day after they happened from the people who saw them!
One of our editors got two tickets to Thursday night's show almost immediately, proving that it is possible to sexually gratify Ticketmaster's servers for personal gain. Meanwhile, we kept it clean, patiently typing in "Assboal," (the name of the band playing outside the Roseland) until getting a "Sorry" message.
But we're not bitter about it! A few carefully placed bedbugs in Thom Yorke's hotel room will ensure that NO ONE will have fun this Wednesday/Thursday. Our lucky editor says that it's "worth it" to check back later today because some deadbeat's credit card will certainly be rejected. In related news, this guy used to pick discarded tickets off the floor of OTBs in hopes of finding winners.
