NEW YORK, September 19, 2011 — Stephen Colbert rocks out with a special one-hour episode of “The Colbert Report” for the first time ever.

The super-sized show will feature interviews and performances by Radiohead intertwined with regular series segments.

The band is set to perform songs from their recent release “King of Limbs” including the new and previously unreleased track “The Daily Mail.”  One song will be exclusively available at www.ColbertNation.com.

Tune in to “The Colbert Report” on Monday, September 26 from 11:30 p.m.-12:30 a.m. ET/PT to watch this epic episode.

“I look forward to meeting the Radioheads and leveraging their anti-corporate indie cred to raise brand awareness for my sponsors,” said Colbert.

Months before, my dick was on and my boner was happy because Radiohead released their album In Rainbows online, which was a huge dick in the @ss to the record industry, but when it came down to seeing them live (which is the best way to listen to music) they failed to FU©K Ticketmaster (which like the record industry, deserves a hard anal pounding). And maybe I’m just getting greedy, onset of course by the liberties Radiohead’s online album release allowed me, but at the same time, maybe it’s because Ticketmaster has been FU©KING their customer’s for the past 15 years. Why should we pay a $15 processing fee and a $5 convenience charge when printing, shipping, and handling all add up to less than $3?

Obviously Ticketmaster gets a large share of this money (if not all), and by Radiohead releasing their tickets to Ticketslave it is a step backwards in their attempt at freeing their fans from corporate musical cockblock. It almost seems contradicting – unless of course the In Rainbows release was strictly for monetary gain (which I like to think is not true).

We all know that if Radiohead had put their tickets up for sale solely through their website, they would have sold out in minutes. And if they put them on sale to newsletter subscribers only (which I don’t believe even exists, C’mon Radiohead) it may have taken them a day, but at least everyone would have been fans. True fans. Not the 38 year old, single moms who listen to Radiohead because they want to “feel young again (actually those types would be at Kanye),” it’s Bull$hit.

Where have real shows gone, and why can’t we enjoy at least one band that enjoys their fans more than the money they bring? Come on Thom – Do not let Ticketmaster control your fan’s (my) lives (or at least ability to see you guys). To countless people you are idols, and the fact that Ticketslave gets in the way of this encroaches on my ability to rock out with my cock out (which, naturally I love to do).

Next time, do it right Thom. Quit giving me Radioblueballs.
