Radiohead tour machine roars to life with European dates :: Music News :: Articles

We've reached the point where even complaining about the excessive amount of Radiohead news items here at Paste is cliche, so let's just give it to you straight. Radiohead really is touring (in Europe), dates and locations are starting to emerge (slowly) and Paste just might have to bump In Rainbows down a few slots on our Top 100 albums list if this Radiohead news spamming continues. Listen up, you arty Brits: you're on notice.

All dates are available here, including the two German festival dates we reported yesterday. In typical Radiohead fashion, it's cryptic stuff, with most of the engagements only listed by city and month. Included in the trek: Dublin, Paris, Barcelona, London, Glasgow and Amsterdam.

In other Radioheadlines, "doing a Radiohead" has officially become a music industry slang term for releasing an album digitally. Sounds pretty nasty when taken out of context, doesn't it? That said, nobody appears brave enough to jump into the treacherous waters of Web distribution just yet (Saul Williams excepted). Among those denying they'd ever hawk their tunes over the Net: Morrissey, My Bloody Valentine and Oasis.

Aww, c'mon, guys. Give it a shot. Just think how many Paste news items you'll land if you do!
