Oxford's finest killed it last week in Tampa and, apparently, in Bristow, VA as well. Much has been said elsewhere about the horror that was trying to get to the "DC" show, so we'll simply add that Live Nation has proven yet again that they dont give a damn about whether the fans enjoy a given show, so long as we fork over the requisite cash. Anywho, the Tampa show was REALLY GOOD.

Nonetheless, it really grinds our gears, as they say in Quahog, that Thom Yorke & Co. have the temerity to implore fans to use all possible means to reduce the carbon footprint associated with travel to and from each of the shows on this tour, despite scheduling both the Tampa and "DC" shows at venues that are not only out of the way, but also inaccessible via public transportation. Lotta balls.

Our advice to the band is to step off the soapbox, cool it with the sanctimony, and just focus on making absolutely incredible music.
