19/365 # Down Is The New Up
The big day has arrived. I’m going to see Radiohead again. Today. In Victoria Park in London. The sun is shining and I’m happy to be alive.
We’ll be setting off in a couple of hours so I’ve done my 365 early today. Always planned to make it Radiohead themed so I used the inner sleeve of my In Rainbows discbox, a very tasty double vinyl/double CD set including booklet of weird artwork.
If you’re not a Radiohead fan In Rainbows is their latest album, the one they released first on the net and let fans choose how much to pay for the album? I paid 10 pence for the download but shelled out £40 for the discbox to alleviate my guilt at being such a cheapskate. I’m looking at it as an investment in the vain hope that one day it’ll be collectable. I’m hoping they extend the honesty box approach of their album to their merchandise, but I’m not holding my breath that I’ll be able to pick up a t-shirt for less then £20!
Funny story actually - the last time we saw Radiohead (Earl's Court in 2003) we got to London, parked up and caught the tube to our destination. Halfway there my mate Jon asked me if I had the tickets I'd been put in charge of looking after . . . one tube ride back to the car later we picked the tickets up from the car, where I'd left them.
I'm not allowed to even see the tickets this time.
Today’s shot came out much better than I anticipated – I did say yesterday that today’s shot would be, and I quote, “a hasty, ill-prepared load of pap shot in the couple of spare hours I’ve got before we leave”. All that is true, but thanks to the brilliance of Lightroom it’s come out OK! Click – take shot. Click – apply preset. Done! Brilliant!
I’m off now to catch up on some commenting, I want to see all the other cool shots you guys have posted before I set off to the capital and witness The Gig Of The Year*.
* Subject to change – seeing The Wildhearts in September!
If you'e wondering what the hell the title of today's 365 means, it's the name of track 2 from the extra disc that comes with the Radiohead discbox. I'm a saddo for irrelevant trivia . . . I can remember things like this but don't ask me what 40 x 9 is!
It's 360, I've just punched it into the calculator.
