Looks like tonight's long-awaited Radiohead show at White River Amphitheater in Auburn is going to be a wet one. Reports from Auburn have included hail and a continuous downpour. While Radiohead is one of our favorite rainy-day bands, we were very much hoping not to experience that weather live tonight. But whatever. It is Thom Yorke and Radiohead, and whatever that other local blog says, Radiohead is possibly the greatest band performing today; and rain or shine, it's going to be a pleasure to see them. Just prepare for it, folks: bring a change of clothes for the car, a tarp or garbage bags to try and stay dry, and drinks and snacks for the inevitable hours-long wait after the concert.

Could we be any vaguer? No, but that doesn't mean there's still not any reason to get excited. With In Rainbows making its formal debut atop the Billboard charts, Radiohead is set to cover North America in two tour legs, one prior to and one following their recently announced European summer tour (June 6 in Dublin through July 8 in Berlin).

Seattle-related only in the sense that we are but a minor gathering within the greater worldwide collection of souls who understand why Radiohead is the greatest band ever.
