I'd rather give up the electricity used to play stuff at home than give up the electrickery used to see a band live.
I'm not trying to say that Thom Yorke is a paragon of virtue or anything, I just love the music and think that anyone that's going to portray themselves as all eco friendly etc should come onto the forum and prove their credentials.

And if you are not in the pit,then you might as well wait for the DVD to come out.Some kids queue all night to get up at the stage and most groups fail to notice this.One nice is story is of Glen Hansard who is really a nice guy,he was doing a gig with his band The Frames and he stopped off and greeted every kid in the early queue and signed tee shirts until all of the kids were happy.Thom better sign mine in June......or else
