That ends with the unveiling of the Radiohead Public Library. The overall effect has been 'Radiohead' search results that yield random and/or abbreviated shards: songs and album titles unaccompanied by detailed artwork or any additional context, low quality videos preceded by advertisements and shuffled via algorithms, and so on. "Many sites that attempted to provide some measure of service have long since gone dark as well.

"The internet as a whole has never been a reliable resource for detailed or even accurate information re: Radiohead," the band wrote in a statement to Rolling Stone when the archive launched.

The career-spanning tool contains deep cuts, b-sides, and non-album songs alongside the band's collected albums and TV appearances, concerts, artwork from each era and more.

In January, the band launched the Radiohead Public Library as a free collection of the band's discography. While the song's original meaning is lost in the remix, in a 2003 interview with XFM, Yorke called the track "the most explicit protest song on the record." While it's unclear which lyrics are present in the song, the listener does miss the intimidating repetitive delivery that Yorke's original provides, such as the line "Your alarm bells, your alarm/They should be ringing," with Yorke repeating the second line 12 times in a row before announcing "This is the gloaming." It also released 18 hours of previously unheard OK Computer studio sessions last year, following a blackmail threat by a hacker.The only remnants of Yorke's vocals come at the end of the track, cut down to small indistinguishable pieces.

Radiohead has expressed ambivalence of major streaming services, but the band has also made swaths of its catalog available for free in the past - including the pay-what-you-want album In Rainbows. NME writes that band members Colin and Jonny Greenwood, Ed O’Brien, Philip Selway, and Thom Yorke will each serve as a “librarian” for one day from now until January 24th - Colin Greenwood posted a curated playlist this morning with some commentary and a picture of his library card. Check it out at, and see our exclusive photos from Thom Yorke’s solo US tour. RPL also contains scanned newsletters, album art, and a store where you can order dozens of old Radiohead t-shirt designs - they’ll start shipping February 3rd. The band have also added a number of Radiohead rarities to streaming services: the band’s 1992 debut, EP, Drill, the 2005 track I Want None of This, originally from the charity compilation Help: A Day in the Life, and the 2011 TKOL RMX 8 remix EP. You can register for a library account to place merchandise orders, but the card itself is just a downloadable image file - ideally, you should probably print it out, crop an awkwardly shot passport photo onto it, and laminate it for future use.
TKOL RMX 8, an addendum to the 2011 remix album TKOL RMX 1234567, is back online after its original digital stream went down. The four-track Drill was just added to the band’s YouTube channel. The archive launched today, and in a brief introduction, the band describes it as “an online resource containing videos, music, artwork, websites, merchandise, and assorted ephemera.” It’s very loosely arranged by album, and as NME notes, you can find links to work that’s been historically tough to find online. And just like a library, it can point you toward some of the band’s lesser-known work - including its debut album Drill. But the clever touch emphasizes how much the Radiohead Public Library (henceforth RPL) does feel like browsing a particularly chaotic research archive. Alright, I’ll admit it: despite the headline above, a downloadable library card may be the least exciting part of the “Radiohead Public Library,” a new online collection of the band’s material.
