By now you've likely heard that the old-media version of In Rainbows limped into the top spot on the Billboard album charts, with a paltry 122,000 copies sold -- less than half of what Hail to the Thief did in its opening week (in 2003, back when 300,000 pieces wouldn't even get you the #2 slot), and an even smaller fraction of the number of copies that were estimated to have been downloaded when the band unleashed its online pay-what-thou-wilt model.
Now for the good news: Radiohead's publicists have released the band's North American tour markets -- no dates or venues yet -- and Boston made the cut. In case you need your memory refreshed, here's the review and setlist from their last Boston appearance, at the Pavilion in June of 2006. Back then, Bradley's Almanac posted the mp3s but has since taken 'em down; Ryan's Smashing Life still has Bodysnatchers up, though.
From the inbox:
