OMG yes! And then like PCU, Radiohead can adopt an endangered species to be their mascot.

Whooping crane.

Also, does it mention in their self congratulating press release anywhere that they don't support EMI's soon to be released box set? Because that would get another one of their points across without having to send out paper.

(you would think that the stench emitted by press releases such as this one would have their own negative environmental effects, but i guess not.) were this not thom yorke and co.'s sacred band engaging in this stunt, i would think people would be a little more likely to roll their eyes at it, but maybe that's just me.

now, let's all sit down on our mats and watch the 'greenzo' episode of 30 rock.

If so, you still have some kinks to work out.

Camera phone would be sufficient I think.

They're playing at a remote suburban amphitheatre that's a bitch to get to, no public transportation, with everyone stuck in cars for hours in a traffic jam on a two lane road. Radiohead's alleged greenness is all style and no substance. Much like their music.

He is affecting only the 100 people in the show's live audience. Everyone else sees it on their TV anyway, so it doesn't matter where it was recorded. I applaud this.

I had no idea they were allegedly choosing venues based on their proximity to public transportation considering we have no public transportation in Indy except for a rickety bus line and the venue they are playing at is in a suburb ten miles beyond town that is impossible to get to any way other than by car.

They take outlandish liberties with the way they steep their tea and light their fags, yet we're the ones who marvel in the million ways we love drowning in their piss and choking on their smoke.

On the radio the other day, they were talking about Serj Tankian (sp?) of System of a Down wanting to do this very thing. I don't think it was because he wanted to be "green," but rather because he wanted all those sweet concert revenues without having to bother leaving his house.

How do I say this ... THROWDINI!
