This Is Really Happening

NPR has Radiohead's 8/28 performance at the Santa Barbara Bowl in its entirety. Trust me, after seeing them at Lollapalooza, this would be 2 hours well worth the time.

These guys write great songs, and sometimes you can even sing along to them, but what they do better than any band is create a sonic adventure — a soundscape which, at its best, stretches time and allows the mind to wander and rejuvenate. I think of it as resetting the synapses. Creativity breeds creativity. When the music was over, I felt unboxed and changed and pretty darn happy. Drugs are overrated; music is underrated.

Indeed.

You can also get it by subscribing to NPR's All Songs Considered Live Concerts podcast. Nice.
