Pitchfork

Forget Pynchon. From here out, W.A.S.T.E. stands for, um, Web Amblers' Social Togetherness Enclave, or something like that. The Radiohead merch clearinghouse has fully embraced the "You" age with the unveiling of a social networking site of sorts, W.A.S.T.E. Central.

Folks who sign up for W.A.S.T.E. Central can, free of change, upload a profile picture, post photos and video clips, invite friends to join too, geek out about upcoming Radiohead gigs, collect virtual "friends", send HOTTT VIAGRAA & XANAX OFERZ to the Thom Yorke avatar, and, um, not much else right now.

But patience, my friends! As a posting from a W.A.S.T.E. Central admin promises, "We'll be adding plenty more bits and pieces in the coming weeks and ironing out any wrinkles or annoyances the best we can. Hope you find something interesting to play with."

Speaking of upcoming Radiohead gigs, there are quite a few of those things lined up right now, with even more-- including a very likely Lollapalooza appearance-- to come. Let's hope they play all of their Best songs.
