With any other band, we might be feeling a bit stifled by now, a bit overwhelmed by all the attention that its members have been lavishing on the public, a bit scurred by the fact that their images appear around every corner of the Internet. We might have been tempted to file a restraining order, if they were any other band.
However, Radiohead is not just any other band, and regardless of the fact that good ol' Thom Yorke and Co. just. won't. quit. our love affair with them continues, and will probably continue until eternity and beyond. So, here we are, reporting Radiohead news once again, and here you are, reading it. The world is as it should be.
The latest from Radiohead follows suit with the last we heard from the band (a whole two weeks ago)—the open call for fan-created videos apparently began a new trend, because now the group's back with a new contest/interactive activity. They want you to remix "Nude," the latest single off of In Rainbows. Fans can buy any of five (or all five) components of the song off of iTunes, then splice and dice them to their hearts' desires.
Individuals can then upload the tracks onto RadioheadRemix.com and vote for their favorites. The current leader is a remix by the Toronto-based experimental band Holy Fuck, and it's pretty awesome—but don't just take our word for it. Check it out and then create some of your very own music magic.
And for the truly obsessed fan looking to meet other truly obsessed fans, consider a visit to w.a.s.t.e. central, a Radiohead social networking site (yes, it's true!) that contains the latest touring news, photos, and more.
