MUSIC NEWS FOR THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19TH

* On this day back in 1980, AC/DC played their first show after the death of lead singer Bon Scott...
* And it was in 1991 that OASIS played the Boardwalk in Manchester, England. Why is that significant? Well, it was the band's first gig with a new guitarist by the name of...Noel Gallagher.
Your news for this Thursday...
* Imagine these words for a second: "RADIOHEAD will never tour again."
Pretty scary stuff, right? But it's a possibility...sort of. Frontman Thom Yorke has been venting his frustration over the amount of Earth hurting toxins his band kicks out during a typical world tour, and he says it's forcing him to reconsider the whole idea of Radiohead hitting the road again anytime soon.
But before you accuse old Thom of being a stick in the mud, he's quick to make fun of himself for being so difficult.
"It's daft," Yorke says. "When you discuss it you feel like a prat because you're saying I'm not happy with that I want to do it another way.
"I'm actually trying to figure out a way of getting to Japan by train. I quite fancy the Trans-Siberian whatitsname...but apparently, it's a bit scary."
C'mon Thom. Hop a llama. Ride a dolphin. Hijack a blimp. Just get back on the road...the world news Radiohead.
* Finally today...sure, it's not quite music news, but hey, it's a slow day.
The Fifth Annual Portland International Short Short Film Festival (yes, that's PISS Fest for short) kicks off tonight over at the Hollywood Theatre. 50 films, all 10 minutes or less. It's the musical equivalent of a Guided by Voices album...which means, of course, it's awesome.
