These Are My Twisted Words

So, I visited the Radiohead website a few days back and once again, Jonny Greenwood has notified the public that a new song, "These Are My Twisted Words", has been completed by the band. Unlike their pay-what-you-want album, In Rainbows, this song is free and officially available for download from W.A.S.T.E. , the site which manages all goods Radiohead and such. Along with the song, the zip file also provides you with artwork designed by Stanley Donwood and Tchock (which they advise you to print it out on tracing paper), a front cover picture, and a text file stating the folder's contents. The artwork consists of ten or so pages of eerie dead trees in a grey scale which both Stanley and Tchock advise the listener to print it out on tracing paper. The track itself, I feel, sounds as though Weird Fishes has undergone a Kid A phase.

I don't want to put any of their stuff on my blog post because I don't have permission to do so and I respect the band enough to not do such a silly thing and post in such an open place like the Internet. If you want to listen to the song, go to their website, Dead Air Space (the address is available on the right side of the blog), and download it yourself. Or just download it from some other website like Stereogum or something. Then if you don't like it, just dump it in the Recycle Bin. That's the beauty of computers, no? There's no physical waste involved and I think that's how Radiohead would like it :)
