Radiohead Launch North American Tour

Rivaling the second coming of Christ in popularity is 2006's first North American coming of Radiohead, which, by the way, kicks off tonight at Philadelphia's Tower Theatre. Thom Yorke and the 'heads will play two-night stands in cities across the continent, meeting up with both the Black Keys and Deerhoof on the way. eBay ticket prices are approaching Virgin Mary grilled cheese status, but you knew that already. The band is also scheduled to appear at a handful of festivals across Europe come August.
