For Extinction Rebellion, too. That's awesome.
You're gonna have to define "hard flex" here for me

Radiohead got hacked... hacker asked for ransom... Radiohead releasing tunes instead
- Thread starter Vanillalite
- Start date
Sure, I was gonna say that lots of artists have probably done the same or similar, but when you put it in perspective 18 hours is really rather a lot
I mean, a lot of it is just songs in development. It's a glimpse into the sausage being made, which is rather cool.
I guess as a musician myself I'm rather impressed by the prolificness. There's a reason these guys are playing for hundreds of thousands of people and I'm posting about socialism on era.
The hacker is a piece of shit for trying to blackmail money for the recordings, but on the other hand if they hadnt done that this probably wouldnt have been released at all. But good on Radiohead for turning this situation into such a positive one with releasing it themselves and giving the money to charity.
and they still release records that chart at #1 and sell out massive arenas lmao
Great move by Radiohead
But to all of you laughing at the hacker for sitting on worthless mp3s... this stuff already leaked like a week ago, so he probably still got money, just not from Radiohead. Sucks to be the guy that took a bullet for all Radiohead fans and bought the mp3s to leak them, though.

Aw man, I thought you were making a meta joke making fun of those idiots who made the same comment about Jai Paul and the unauthorized release of his music back when.
I didn't know you were just being dumb.
full of old people to fulfill their nostalgia & their hit songs from the 90s, sure
their highest charting records aren't even from the 90s....
i was at a show of theirs last summer and the average age was probably 16 - 20 given the lack of 21 or older wristbands lmao
I can see paying for wav and flac files if you got the setup to listen and get the quality.
'people we're going to pay six figures for this stuff. it's tangentially interesting' the British sure do have a sense of understatement lmao
sucks they basically got blackmailed into it but good on them for putting it out themselves while putting some money in the pockets of a decent cause

lol why would I pay for anything radiohead, im not 50
The better question is why are you continuously trolling a thread about a band releasing music and giving all the proceeds to charity?
You have issues where you need to insult those you don't know?
Why are you doing this?
Gave them 20 GBP. Downloading the flacs now. Really awesome they officially uploaded these and are donating to charity.
It's not like they're talking about some obscure band like The Police.
Radiohead are my favourite band.
I can't see myself trawling through 18 hours of material, so waiting for someone to do a "best of mini discs" compilation.

Man, I don't know why, but I really can't stand Radiohead. This is a very obvious setup/marketing campaign.
It's actually a nice casual background listen. I think I'm just gonna throw on one minidisc a day.
I feel like if you actually think that you don't know much about Radiohead.
lol oh we know. Maybe do some growing up during your ban.
Can't wait to hear some of this stuff! Hacker dude probably throwing a fit somewhere lol
On one hand, terrible. I bet these recordings are genuinely uninteresting and they've salvaged all they could for OK COMPUTER re-release. On the other hand, I fucking love demos. 18 hours is a goldmine.
It's a fun listen. The first track on the first minidisc is an early version of Exit Music that has Life in a Glasshouse as the bridge/closing section.
Hey guys I've never heard of this band before but I just read some of their demos from the mid-1990s got hacked where should I start with listening???
There's at least a few hours of "studio" quality stuff. $23 is worth it for Lift/True Love Waits/Attention/early demos that aren't garbage quality. And it all goes to charity.
EDIT: Timestamps from the Google DOC are gonna be a little different/the discs are shorter because they removed a lot of the copyrighted soundtrack/James Bond stuff but it's definitely higher quality than the leak.
