Good Friday afternoon in New York City, where $73 will get you into this Radiohead "experience." 
Here's what else is happening: 
Elmhurst locals want the MTA to reopen the neighborhood's old Long Island Rail Road stop. 
Andrew Giuliani, the head of the White House Task Force on the 2026 World Cup, defended FIFA's decision to charge more than $1,000 for tickets to the U.S. team's opening match, arguing "we don't really believe in price controls." 
They're saying the New York state comptroller's race is getting spicy. 
We're getting a Manhattan outpost of a Japanese sushi conveyor belt chain. 
I'd eat one of these skinny burritos. 
These run clubs are doing it the Ethiopian way. 
The new Lykke Li album is fantastic. 
And finally, ticklish: 
No matter how many times you've watched it, Max the dog playing with his duck friend Fred never fails to make your day pic.twitter.com/n4zPLrYZiC
