is there a point to this?

That's odd.

okay.

don't care.

NEW SONGS!!!!!!!!!!

yeah, probably not. but I'm hoping

What is this band doing

"what is this band doing"

um..no one ever fucking knows..

Wut

Music in the newspaper?

seems pretty pointless to me. I love Radiohead but they're putting me off, the fuckers!

two things come to mind: 1) physical copy of king of limbs is wrapped in newspaper, 2) last song on King of Limbs said "If you think this is over, you're wrong".

i like i like.

No, they've registered a website for it, it's not up yet though.. Ever heard of download codes?

These guys have been smoking some shit, I swear.

"Guys, guys.. you know what'd be cool.. if we did a newspaper, oh my God."

It looks like some dude sold a copy of the newspaper on eBay. In the description of the item it says, "Along with this you will be given a coupon with a unique code and what you can do with it."

Hwhat.

uhh

this band

Hopefully this is actually cool and doesn't turn out to be a universal sigh.

Is the name a reference to everybody sighing at the lack of a second part?

lol radiohead

They just straight up left the Middle of the US out.

What's wrong with newspapers? You all need to get your head out of your own ass

So does this have anything to do with the newspaper edition of the album?

Dey be toyin' with us...

"So does this have anything to do with the newspaper edition of the album?"

website says no

I want that newspaper to feel all rebellious and shit

april fools?

will contain download code for part 2

Has nothing to do with the newspaper album, well, the site says "This newspaper IS NOT the newspaper that accompanies the Newspaper Album version of The King of Limbs."

My money is on there being more music. When? Who knows. Hopefully soon. The chieftan mews stuff has been ****ing whack.

Actually, the W.A.S.T.E. store has new shirts with lyrics on them that don't appear on any released albums. Im officially
excited.

lol they should stick to music and stop trying to be "visionaries"

it's a marketing stunt. they're giving out cool artwork as a newspaper to people for free so they might buy their album. it's no big fucking deal.

I thought the newspaper reference was them poking fun at a dying medium...

I kind of want to pick this up just to see what it's about, but I'd have to take a three hour trip to get to the newsstand. Being on an island sucks.

I'm freaking out a bit here.

IT'S

NOTHING

CHILL

no, you chill.

who the fuck cares

I like Radiohead pretty good. Creep is an awesome song. I slayed it on Rock Band.

"I like Radiohead pretty good. Creep is an awesome song. I slayed it on Rock Band."

dude hell yes.

"will contain download code for part 2"

more than likely.

i pre-ordered the "newspaper" album. if i recall correctly it comes with the album in vinyl aswell as
a bunch of artwork or somethin. im hopin theres more tracks in it too.

edit: it says on the website that it's different from the newspaper album so i dunno what to expect.
ill be grabbin a copy tho!

Radiohead are good at making me care about them even less than I originally did.

how can you not care about this

i mean i dont even like king of limbs but even im massively intrigued as to what shit theyre pulling

also april fools is a good shout.

Sounds interesting. I'm from Melbourne so I might pop in to the record store on Monday.

I just have never enjoyed the band is all, so the fact that they're pulling all these shenanigans only interests me enough to post about my disinterest - True story.

^ But here you are anyways, posting.
I want newspaper. If it turns out to be complete and utter crap at least I can use it as a spread for when I paint.

Shut the fuck up, Thom Yorke

the king of limbs is in fact an EP and the universal sigh is the LP release.

-me rationalizing why the last album was a let down

If there is a part 2, I seriously hope it's better than the King of Limbs. I love Radiohead and yet that album almost put me to sleep.

the king of limbs is in fact an EP and the universal sigh is the LP release.


this actually could be plausible, but i like the part 2 thing better, i doubt they have given us all of the album

Once again, Radiohead continue to snub Michigan.

"Once again, Radiohead continue to snub Michigan"

Haven't played in our state since '93...

Yeah, it's kind of bullshit. I hear that it's apparently because they like playing big outdoor venues, and all our big outdoor venues are corporately sponsored or some shit. I don't know exactly how true this is though (whether this is their actual reason and whether we really don't have any non-corporate sponsored outdoor venues)

shut the fuck up michigan, our whole continent gets two fucking distributers

The universal sigh will not be an album title. From Bloom, "Open your mouth wide, the universal sigh".

I'm thinking the newspaper will do what newspaper do: reveal news, as in something new will be announced through the newspaper.

what the fuck Radiohead, what are you even doing?

I think they are trying to send out the message that we can run this world on our own without a higher order controlling our media and thoughts. The world is ours and we should all be properly informed.

Hopefully new music, but this seems pretty pointless to me.

interesting

I don't think they're that pretentious Wolfgang, but ya, who knows...

Thom spoke of a new "revolutionary" release method for this album... I'd say this fits the bill.

News title has Radiohead in it? Brace for 100+ comments.

Also, I'm pretty sure the printed word is on the way out.

Radiohead know exactly what they're doing. Even if this is meaningless (which i doubt it isn't) it was intended.

yeah..

No alarms and no surprises please.

They should release a blog instead of a newspaper
That's what's in right now, right?

People still talking about part 2 wow

The retail version is out and there is nothing new on there, sorry

AngelofDeath: At least printed word doesn't give off radiation.

Johnny Blaze: Maybe not, but it shouldn't be considered pretentious to want to inform humanity or even help people grow as a whole. The sad thing is that when we think of someone doing that and we consider what they do to be pretentious it's usually either one or two people out of billions. Instead, it should be the entire world that makes the effort to help. Making the action a constant and consistent one. We can't just rely upon individuals to save humanity.

You will need to solve a radiohead crossword puzzle for the code to part 2.

lol

I wonder what the standard of journalism will be. They better have Sherman's Lagoon in the comics I swear to God.

thom yorke still thinks newspapers are relevant

You guys have it all wrong. they're next album is just a reworking of the musical The Newsies.

"me rationalizing why the last album was a let down

"last album was a let down"

That's funny.

i'll have my home boi in NY pick one up for me and i'll read that shit like the weekend cartoons

"don't care."

You actually clicked the news link just to say that you don't care?

'The retail version is out and there is nothing new on there, sorry'

i refuse to believe this

Yep. Delusional or not, I think a new album is dropping. KOL left a sour taste in my mouth.

Wow everyone here is seriously butthurt over the king of limbs... just compare the comments from when they announced their new album to these lol

So has anyone here actually seen the newspaper?

yeah here's a pdf
