Thom Yorke Releases Remix For Free

Thom Yorke, singer and songwriter of Radiohead, released a remix "Harrowdown Hill" as a free download on the band’s website. The song originally appeared on Yorke’s 2006 solo album, The Eraser.

The remix comes in celebration of Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood’s birthday as well as Barack Obama’s victory in the U.S. General Election. It is available for download here.

Yorke writes on the band’s website, "In celebration of November 5, Jonny's birthday amid bonfire and fireworks in the UK and the dawn of a new era in politics in the USA, I humbly donate a remix of 'Harrowdown Hill' that was finished ages ago during the band webcasts, a small reminder of the dark days of Bush's..."

Radiohead just wrapped up a world tour and are in talks to play shows in South America in 2009.

Agreed. However I prefer Cedric Bixler Zavala, Anthony Green, and Steven Patrick Morrissey over him. But Thom Yorke is definately in 4th.

thirdeye_15 is obviously a very smart man.

"what a fukin tweed that guy is!!!"

[mdawg24]

I think I'll have to download this right about now...

[Mwoit]

You know, if you think Radiohead suck... just don't post.

[tands]

I like how often you read the words "Radiohead" and "Free" together

[NorCalLos]

Cool-Maybe while Bush is gone, they'll be so happy they'll make another album like The Bends.

[CaptAwesome15]

Radiohead is great and will always be great no matter what people say. Thanks for the free download Thom!

[The_String_Man]

Yay great! more free Radiohead!
unlike those other money-grabbing bands!

[dragen_slair]

I can't say I like Radiohead or Thom Yorke, but does it really need to be a cause for band bashing, in reference to AC/DC, they have been waaaaay more succesful than radiohead, and they haven't changed sound, some people like it, some don't. Deal with it.

[Jordan_9118]

love radiohead but this remix is awful

[Echoplex]

The fact that York is an ******* about politics in a country thousands of mile from his made me loose respect for Radiohead

well thats one of the stupidest things I have read on this site

if tom yorke was bad at golf would you lose respect for his band radiohead? no, what he does away from his band is his own business, radiohead is just a band whos job is to make good music which they excel at

[Confusius]

No more band bashing or flaming. Checked.

[TimboSlice]

You're a wise man Confusius. What's with the S?

Radiohead is a brilliant band. For dragen_slair, a band's greatness is not measured by success. Wealth? Maybe. But sales figures do not reflect compositional value.
Yorke would probably hate this, but, Long Live Radiohead; I'd be a smaller person without them.

[Wakisazhi]

That's quite a bad ass picture of Thom. He needs more awesome pictures.

americas decision's effect brits too

[Ultraturtle0]

So I clicked on the link, and it's prodding me for a w.a.s.t.e. central account. I've got a workaround thanks to Firefox's FoxyTunes, but I can't DL the song.

Actually, listening to it right now, it's pretty dull. Coming from a big Radiohead fan.

why cant he talk about politics in america?
well im downloading the song now

[The_Paranoia]

Harrowdown hill friggin rapes.

[MusicalMinority]

Thom Yorke has to be one of the most brilliant minds in music alive.

[McFoss]

I'm not a fan of solo york. But that has to be the coolest picture I've ever seen of him.

[element4433]

Checked.

[Shred Penguin]

I love radiohead, I also love opeth. But they are completely different bands in every way. Even if they were in the same genre, I still don't see why people insist on pitting everything they come across against each other. You can never prove that one band is "better" than another, just whether you like them more or not. Music is art and it's about time everyone treated it like it.

Thom and Trent Reznor, who I'm guessing you're a fan of, are did the same thing. Hail to the Thief and Year Zero were both meant to inform the public. To be honest, HttT is my favorite Radiohead album.

I used to be like you and wished they made more guitar driven songs. But I've come to realize that if they made more guitar driven songs, then it wouldn't really be "them." They've conquered that area of music, and they're moving on.

On the topic of Thom though, I'm diggin' the remix. I hope he makes another solo cd.

[Lemoninfluence]

checked

Every successfull band in the world? O_O

Also, just in reply to the person that said he didn't understand why Thom gives a **** about foreign politics - are you simple? It's America, one of the most dominant countries in the world, to ignore what they do is unbelievably ignorant.

[nothingman34]

Radiohead changed my life for the better, and i'm convinced they are the most talented band in the world at the moment. GO RADIOHEAD!!

[st.stephen]

For some reason I thought the title said "Thom Yorke remixes remix for free." It didn't really make a lot of sense to me at 1 in the morning.

[atthedrive-thru]

there's at least one radiohead song that a person can like, so i don't think it's possible for anyone to not like radiohead

But a British citizen should be complaining about American Politics? Whats his gripe? His country's involvement in Iraq? Last time I checked Britain had their own government who made those kinds of decisions.

Unless of course he thinks that all other nations are just some sort of subsidiary of the U.S, and are really all the working slaves of our grand Hegemony.

maybe everyones looking into it too deeply and that he's just happy for barack obama.
