Radiohead | A Moon Shaped Pool

I gotta be honest...the thought of a new Radiohead album does not excite me at all.

It will be objectively superior to Kanye's record in every possible way.

Ha... Ha.

So what does it mean? Well, “Burn The Witch” is the name of an unreleased Radiohead song dating back to at least 2003, and it supposedly contains the lyrics “Sing a song of sixpence that goes/ Burn the witch.” And as some enterprising Redditors have discovered, according to Germanic folklore, Walpurgisnacht — or “Witches’ Night” — falls on either 4/30 (today) or 5/1 (tomorrow), depending on the year. Radiohead recently started two companies, Dawn Chorus LLP and Dawnchoruss LTD, and International Dawn Chorus Day is held on the first Sunday in May, which also happens to be tomorrow, 5/1.

Please release the album tomorrow

What is Radiohead's "form?"

Play a weird chord, then make the same chord shape at different points on the guitar neck and see what it sounds like. Put a bunch glitchy twitchy stuff in the background. Unintelligible lyrics. Maybe some strings.

I'm sorry that you just don't "get" KoL.

I adore KoL, I was just trying to be funny.

Oh. Ok.

I'm glad you guys nipped that one in the bud. This came really close to being a pretty nasty little internet blow-up.

You're telling me. My palms were getting sweaty.

Was there vomit on your shirt already?

I'm hyped.

The radiohead website is slowly fading away

[Mike]

Now it's gone and all their social media presence is kind of disappearing, too.

This band sure knows how to HYPE.

[VinylGuy]

I dont even care about these " events". Just release the album, or say when is coming.

Where's your sense of adventure, VinylGuy?

Where's your sense of adventure, VinylGuy?

Well, with bands like Radiohead, not so much. I mean, i think it would be way cooler to have the actual album than this thing of " we are retiring from social media"

Thom Yorke is such a snob.

[zeb]

You disappoint me, VinylGuy.

That seems like a strange thing to take away from this. How did you even get there?

Thom Yorke is such a snob.

Ditto.

Because they took everything they have on social media like twitter or fbook.

I don't think it's fair to read that as the band "retiring" from social media, though. They've said nothing to that effect and they're clearly using their social media accounts to generate excitement for the announcement.

I think the white profile and wiped posts simply fit in with the "dawn chorus" aesthetic they're cultivating, whether that's the name of the album or whatever. Dawn, a fresh start, a new day, new beginnings, etc.

They're clearly not retiring from social media. Jonny Greenwood's twitter is alive and well.
