This year's "Who's playing at Fenway?" rumors have begun, and some sources are putting the best odds on Radiohead. While they might not seem like an obvious choice, in a lot of ways this does make sense. They're already planning to be in North America around the time that these shows usually happen (end of July) and Boston was on the list of cities at which they'll be playing. Most importantly, though, if they're going to play Boston this year they're probably limited to either this gig at Fenway or the Garden because of their self-imposed transportation restrictions. They've said that on this tour they want to minimize their environmental impact. From a study that they did last year, they found that the largest environmental problem of touring usually doesn't come from the band themselves, but rather all of the people driving to the shows. So, that rules out the Tweeter Center in Mansfield, where they played in 2005 (I think). I guess they could also play at the BoA Pavilion, but even though that's close to the downtown, the majority of people still seem to drive there. I can't see Radiohead going out on a summer tour and playing a big indoor arena like the Garden, so chances don't look too bad for Fenway Park. At least I can hope for it.
A few other things:
Dead Flowers has a newly-unearthed recording of a very early Velvet Underground show, which includes a "new" song.
Write a riff about Magic Hat's Pandora's Box beer, win a psychedelic guitar.
This is my New Favorite Place to waste my time online.
