Radiohead deserves it, though. Even if a few of you thought we were a bit too hard on their last album (and came to our houses and threatened our families, duct-taping us to chairs and dementedly pontificating at length on every element in the In Rainbows "discbox" collector's edition - no hard feelings), we still love 'em and will continue loving them forever. No matter what the cost, every couple years when they deign to step on American shores we make sure to catch them. This time around, they are playing The Woodlands (aka Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion) in Houston and we are so totally there. Tickets prices are a bit steep, but then again, life is short and if you die without having seen the Oxford wunderkind yours is a wasted life indeed.
You'll know us when you see us: we'll be standing next to you holding up a lighter and weeping openly like a heartbroken grandmas during the climax of "Fake Plastic Trees". Oh wait. That's going to be EVERYBODY.
Call us crazy, but Jesus, Mary, and Joseph on a space-corndog, we're giving away free tickets! Fill out the form, fanboys-girls, after the jump.
This contest is now closed - congratulations to our winner, David!

up $500 dollars a ticket?
are there people that rich that enjoy music?
...it makes ACL sound like a steal!
exit music would make me cry my eyes out.
I'll look pretty silly if they don't play that song.
What am I talking about? I'll look silly if they DO play that song :)
I love It's A Shame About Ray too, but c'mon, Evan Dando?
Definitely on the Mount Olympus Of People Who Have Smoked Crack, tho.
'Twas a joke, dear reader.
Although IASAR was pretty badass. I'm must of listened to "Confetti" 100 bagillion times...
I guess this is number four for me -- third time at Woodlands. See you there.
Dallas kicked ass too.
