Radiohead, Rough Trade, Free Gig….
…and the largest collection of anoraks ever seen on Brick Lane 
Last reports are that there is a line of about 400 people for the 230 capacity gig, do you get the feeling that some people are being more than a little optimistic.

“The deal is the band want to be as fair to everyone as possible. If we had the usual guest list for media, probably half the places would be taken up.”

Half the places? I know EMI are firing a load of people, but in my experience of music industry liggers, they would be able to fill Wembley with industry tickets….actually, having said that, they would be able to give away enough tickets to fill Wembley, but the number of people that turned up would be lucky to fill a phone box unless they get told the tickets are ‘cool’ and hard to get in which case they would be able to give away enough tickets to fill Belgium……
