Radiohead Amnesiac Playbacks Tonight

If you thought the promotion of Kid A was downright sneaky, here comes Amnesiac to confound Radiohead's uncommercial No Logo stance. For a band whose urgent lyrics in their song "Idioteque" moan "mobiles working, mobiles chirping, take the money and run," it seems obvious that they dislike cell phones. But it seems that they've resigned themselves to the fact that their fans use those little annoyances.

That's because now you can sign up for instant Radiohead updates through text messaging on your cell phone or two-way pager. If you're bound to your computer for the day, you can also add GooglyMinotaur to your AOL Instant Messanger or Yahoo Messanger list. Googly will be able to answer any Radiohead related questions in the near future.

And if THAT'S not enough, and you want the warm, tingly feeling of making new Radiohead fan friends, get yourself down to one of these Famous Players at 11 p.m. (except Calgary, at 10 p.m.) to hear the album. It's also your chance to win prize packs — including the chance to win tickets to Vancouver, Montreal or Toronto live shows this summer.
