So word on the streets is that Thom Yorks mini disks from the OK Computer days were stolen and now someone is requesting 150k ransom for the music. So in one of the coolest moves EVER the Oxford, UK bred band is releasing the full 18 hours for fans to hear. And let me tell you from what I have been able to dig through there are some real gems in there. Gonna take some time and cut out my favorite joints, buts its 18 hours so no telling where this goes. Thank you Radiohead. Here’s a note from the band:
“We got hacked last week – someone stole Thom’s minidisk archive from around the time of OK Computer, and reportedly demanded $150,000 on threat of releasing it. So instead of complaining – much – or ignoring it, we’re releasing all 18 hours on Bandcamp in aid of Extinction Rebellion. Just for the next 18 days. So for £18 you can find out if we should have paid that ransom.
Never intended for public consumption (though some clips did reach the cassette in the OK Computer reissue) it’s only tangentially interesting. And very, very long. Not a phone download. Rainy out, isn’t it though?“
