Another puzzle piece has fallen into place for North American Radiohead fans about their upcoming tour. No dates or venues have been set, but the band has confirmed the cities they’ll be playing in 2008.
The list of cities is after the jump!
Apple has posted the trailer for Martin Scorsese’s Shine a Light, the director’s delayed Rolling Stones concert doc that is now set for release on April 8, 2008. Following No Direction Home, this new musical doc looks like another must-see film this Spring. Also makes one really anxious to see Scorsese’s upcoming take on the life of George Harrison. I’ll post the trailer for Shine a Light below, but recommend heading over to Apple to view it in beautiful QuickTime.

I’m very excited to introduce my good friend and first-time Hypeful contributor Brian Rhea to the site. Brian is an art teacher in Carrollton, TX and blogs with his friends over at Those Awake. After checking out Iron & Wine’s show in Dallas earlier this week, Brian was awesome enough to pass along his review on the show:
If you’re going to an Iron & Wine concert (or just about any hipster concert for that matter), you can bank on a couple of things:
1: Someone in the opening band will be sporting one of these.
2: There will be a pleasant abundance of wool in the audience in the form of scarfs, bags, and straight-out-of-gramma’s-closet beanies.
3: Vegas puts the odds that you’ll be standing in front of two gearheads analyzing the bands’ equipment between sets at 2:1. This is a safe bet (and remember, always double down on 11). For extra fun, take one drink every time you hear, “Dude, I don’t know what that is, but I want one!” Two more drinks when the counterpart gives an answer.
These pseudo-requirements were all present and accounted for when the folk rockers recently rolled in to Dallas, and after the show it would be safe to add:
4: Concert-goers will have a deeper appreciation for The Shepherd’s Dog and will likely listen to little else in the days and weeks to come.
Here’s a fun list - Billboard has ranked and put together a gallery of the 25 Best Rock Posters of All Time. Coming in at the top spot is a poster for Jimi Hendrix, John Mayall, and Albert King. Thankfully, the list isn’t all old-school - the poster for the 2007 Coachella festival made it to number 4!
Like a shot and beer chaser, Hypeful is always keen on the boozey combo of Pete Doherty and Amy Winehouse. Babyshambles brought their first arena tour to a close in Glasgow over the weekend and Doherty used the opportunity to give Winehouse a shout-out. Doherty dedicated the song “Albion” to Winehouse saying, “She is a really nice girl and this song is for her. Keep the chin up”. After one of Winehouse’s shows last week, her dad allegedly assaulted Doherty for being a bad influence on his daughter. So, it seems gentleman Pete decided to return the hit with a hit of his own - “Albion”. Check out the video below.
