No surprises, please
What’s going on with Radiohead these days? Four years have quietly slipped by since their last album (if you don’t count Thom Yorke’s solo debut) and the rumors of a follow-up have been vague and unreliable.
The latest piece of possible information is not really a rumor, but rather a website: RadioheadLP7.com. The site appears to be counting down to something, and the countdown will be ending soon. What could it possibly be? Oh lord, the drama of it all!
From Pitchfork Media:
Of course, as far as we know, this site doesn’t have anything to do with the band. Radiohead’s publicist says, “I know nothing of any official site by that name.” So this could still all be a big hoax, and we could wake up Saturday morning to find a LOLcat there or something. But hey, I’m setting my alarm anyway.
Edit: Hoax!
Edit: But as luck would have it, the album actually will be released in a matter of days, in a variety of interesting ways.
