Waste :(

Yesterday, Waste held a pre-sale for all the June Radiohead shows. Before I even knew it existed the bloody thing was sold-out. Most of the shows go on-sale Friday & Saturday. The Canadian dates are insanely priced. With the exchange rate at levels not seen since the 70s this makes no sense. $70+ CDN for Canadian shows while all the American gigs are around $40 USD. $1USD=$1.10CDN. Crazy. Pitchfork reveals openers for the tour. I'd love to see the Black Keys followed up by Radiohead. I don't know who Willy Mason is and Deerhoof would be alright. Friday & Saturday will be interesting.

RHCP album leaked yesterday. Flea isn't pleased. In today's world, if your at a level that the Peppers are at and your album only leaks a week before it's supposed to hit stores you should be thanking your stars.

I got my hands on some great tix for Dashboard. I had great Wilco tickets in my shopping cart through the pre-sale but, I couldn't bring myself to pay for $23USD in shipping & service charges. I'll wait till Friday to go through Canadian TicketMaster where I won't have to pay as steep service charges.
