Whats next? Rage? I bet they will be there in less than a week.
That would be AWESOME!!!
wouldn't it? And what would be the chances the don't play: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APmUWC8S1_M ?
Unfortunately, they block out YouTube here at work. I'll have to look at the link at home.
Take the power back.
I'd love to but would get fired, and I can't afford that right now (just bought a house). But.... I can get to it on my phone!
There you have it, Tom Morello on the ground.
keep fighting
I have their bear, the deathbear, tattooed on my wrist. Taking the day off of work? I think so.
Not sure how it's a surprise when you're posting about it on the internets.
Still, tis awesome no doubt.
But I'll hold out hope that Rage Against The Machine reunites for this... A kid can dream
its a surprise for the system, not for us.
Air Supply will be playing at 4pm.... and ty lur is opening for them
Damn i can't leave work until the stock market closes. I might be a little late but hopefully I can still catch some of their songs. My company has a private car service that I can take over there. So where exactly should tell my driver to bring me does anybody know? I'm not too familiar with the downtown area because I live in the Hamptons. Any advice would be helpful. If anybody needs a ride from uptown on Park ave let me know my driver can take us.
Maybe they'll give all the proceeds from their $500-and-up-per-ticket shows at Roseland to the Occupation. Wouldn't that be lovely?
Why no media coverage! News about playmate insuring her fake boobs for a million bucks though. Good thing starving people and unemployed got that bit of crap news!
Hey, just tried to see crowd on Wall Street via earth cam app but it is blocked. Can see other parts of NYC but not wall street. So much for freedom, stupid GOP followers! Freedom my ass!

Looks like the news is coming hard and fast on this...It just might be true that Radiohead management doesn't want thousands of people down there http://gothamist.com/2011/09/30/occupy_wall_street_says_radiohead_s.php
Radiohead says they aren't performing http://t.co/fGIkB3If
surprise
they need to play 'the amazing sounds of orgy'! i want to hear thom sing "the day the banks collapse on us" on wallstreet!

wallstreet journal is saying this isn't happening. Is this just disinfo?
well over 50% probabilities, they are shitting their pants, they would do anything not to have 30k+ people there.

?
Sweet! Roger Waters of Pink Floyd fame should be doing this as well, God knows he's been singing about this B$ for years.
Their spokesperson says this isn't true.
surprise

WSJ vs Gawker??? OKKKKKKKKKAYYYYY
No, this is their manager: http://twitter.com/#!/NastyLittleMan
surprise
Oh, and Javier? I'm here in NYC, and I can see for myself that there's no band setting up downtown, and that this false rumor is not going to help gain support for the occupation.
The cops wont let them set a tent, do you think they would allow them a stage, how idiotic can you be?
Would Tom Morello do?
[Deleted]
Ha! Honestly, I hope it's true. My partner is still down there, and I know he'd love to see them. I have to get on my bike to ride back to my job as a double-agent now, though.
(this media-op gig doesn't pay enough for me to take the bus)
it doesn't surprise me that they exploit you for crumbles.
Occupy Wall Street - listen to these lyrics about wall street and main street, particularly the last verse! search for News Blues Revolution performing "Blue Revolution" on Facebook or Youtube
too bad it's not fugazi.
Oh My Freedom
this is everyones fight not just the fight on wall street this is for all who have been wronged and kept down and whos life has beehn taken like mine. i love you all
Ah! If only I lived in NYC... it's great that such a big artist is supporting this.
whereabouts will they be set up, do we know yet?
in the park
Air Supply will be playing at 4pm.... and ty lur is opening for them

i hope this wasn't an attempt just to get people wanting to see radiohead out to wall street to form a big crowd.

Stop peddling lies, guys. This only makes us all look like jackasses. Radiohead should NOT be the reason why people come to this.

nope sorry .
http://blogs.wsj.com/metropolis/2011/09/30/no-radiohead-serenade-at-wall-street-protest/
nope sorry .
sweet. i work on wall street so maybe i'll see if anyone here wants to check this out. are there going to be too many filthy, unemployed loser around to be able to enjoy it though?
Are there going to be some wallstreet traitors for the jobless to unload some overdue rage on? If you are going, please make sure you carry a sign that says "TARGET".
multiple sources now saying radiohead is not playing...what's the deal?
what are the multiple sources?

how strange, WSJ reporting on whether radiohead goes to OWS or not?
yeah.. funny. isn't WSJ owned by Fox News now?
Yup, technically it's News Corp, the parent company of Fox and WSJ.
Radiohead may not be members of the 1%, but they're close.
thats why they are dangerous
Anyone who has worked for a major record label should be intimately familiar with the concept of economic slavery. The fact that Radiohead went indie immediately after fulfilling their contract with EMI suggests that even they were getting screwed.
Yes, I'm sure the band members are all fairly well-off (especially now that they're out of their contract) but it's not wealth itself that is being fought; the real issues are the concentration and subsequent abuse of power that extreme inequality of wealth enables, and the lack of opportunity for those not already in the 1% club. I can think of few places better than the music industry for finding examples of wealth being used to keep talented people poor, and the "pay what you want" experiment with the In Rainbows album looks like a good case of bypassing the system and achieving wealth without greed.
If Radiohead does show up, it will be interesting to hear what they have to say.
The 1% is not about how much money you have but how you earn it. If you earn your money by screwing over the nation then you are 1%
Ugh... who wants to listen that musical heroin?
Isn't that during the NYSE closing bell anyway? Screw Radiohead!
What's with the hate? Need more love in your life buddy.
Yep!
Radiohead is playing during the closing bell march. I just hope people are smart enough to leave Thom Yorke and his band of weirdo bandits alone in the park.
Yes by all means let us shun those that would grant us higher exposure to march on the people that haven't decided to stop laughing at us yet.
They've stopped laughing and sent their minions to distract us.
Oh, please. They will easily gather a crowd of thousands. If you want a disruption to wall street, as well as exposure, this is it. The crowds will gather before 4PM undoubtedly.
What the hell are Radiohead fans going to do? Tell everyone there that they should be afraid of their own shadows.
Guess where they are playing on Monday night? The Jimmy Fallon show! How establishment!
Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good, riethc. There's no such thing as bad press at this point. Our objectives and objections are shining through. Take friends where you find them.
Don't let the media mold the message. That's what happened to the Tea Party.
I do hope radiohead has the right idea about what the movement is about - better they just play music, though.
I'll stay vigilant. But seriously dude enjoy yourself a bit.
Why is it that often the same people who get angry about the lack of mainstream media coverage, later complain when groups that support us go on mainstream media to support us? "Establishment" ? Grow up. It's coverage!
Coverage which represents the movement is what we want, not celebrities telling us who we are. Besides that, Radiohead is extremely depressing music.
you have no tactical sense
wow dude you sound like the biggest idiot ever.
Hmm, are radiohead fans not good enough for the protest?
When they aren't fawning over Radiohead I'd say they could protest.
peep this elistist saying that only the chosen ones are allowed to join the protest...
Elitist? Follow the thread I've been writing. I have concerns about the timing of the performance (4pm, during the closing bell march) and their music (uber depressing, post-modern and fearful).
timing is just right
It is stupid little disagreements like this that divide us. Besides, what's wrong with celebrity support? Remember Rock for Darfur? Well, this is rock for the 99%!
I'm sure it will also draw a lot of music fans, and curious people too. Music really draws people together on these things (like the movements in the late 60's). Who knows, maybe they have some opening bands too?
Nothing I can do about it now. I'm just trying to get you guys to think.
And we're trying to get you to think. Negativity is the last thing we need at this point.
That's what I'm thinking, keep it positive! Have you ever listened to Radiohead?
but radiohead is super political... hail to the THEIF? what do you think that's about?
What I remember about Hail to Thief (and most Radiohead albums, for that matter) is an intoxicating, drug-like music peppered with Orwellian references and nonsensical gibberish.
Next you're going to be telling me Tool is a deep philosophical band that speaks to the human condition.
They are Just look at the lyrics to Ænema
http://www.lyricsmania.com/aenima_lyrics_tool.html
Just because a band has fun with their lyrics and is not always political does not mean they are bad.
look music like a lot of things in life is a matter of personal taste example in the playlist I have going right now I just went from Rob Zombie, to The Verve, to Johnny Cash, to Moby. Get some diversity.
I really don't care if you think you are musically eclectic. Listening to Anglo-American rock music of the second half of the 20th century does not make you musically diverse.
That was just the last 4 bands, if you want a more inclusive list of all the music I have.. I don't have the time or the inclination to type that out for you.
My point still stands music like a lot of things in life is a matter of personal taste grow up and let people listen to the music they want to listen to.
I'm saying that having Radiohead play at 4pm during the closing bell is a distraction. I'm not telling you what to put on your personal playlist
