Radiohead released their collection of private recordings made during their OK Computer album. Its a collection of 18 Minidiscs. See below from the website on why they did this. Free to listen online or you can buy it to support the group and one of their causes.
Hey mods if not really a deal post, please move to forums thanks for your good work!

we’ve been hacked
my archived mini discs from 1995-1998(?)
it’s not v interesting
there’s a lot of it

if you want it, you can buy the whole lot here
18 minidisks for £18
the proceeds will go to Extinction Rebellion

as it’s out there
it may as well be out there
until we all get bored
and move on

    Quantity over quality

      One of their only good albums (Along with Kid A, Amnesiac and In Rainbows)

      You've just listed half of their albums.

        Yep. Bends is a fantastic album in particular.

      Have you even listened to "The Bends" album? Just as good as, if not better than, "OK Computer". Still holds up very well today. As Molly Meldrum would say, "Do yourself a favour".

      This shit band only has 4 good albums.

      Alright mate.

      The circlejerk seems to be in the opposite direction actually. Rarely see anyone praise Radiohead, most people just shit on them.

    Minidiscs - sweet memories! I think I was one out of two people in my town who used them, but I loved them.

    • Tejas57 on 13/06/2019 - 09:06

      i had a mini hifi with a minidisc recorder and a portable minidisc player. i remember ripping a cd to minidisc and cutting off the last part of the last song

      Two people. That's a small town.

        I learned something today, thanks (English second language).

          Your English is fine. Cornbeef was just having a joke with you.

    • coxymla on 13/06/2019 - 10:32

      Minidiscs were awesome when the alternatives were full-size CD players and 64MB flash PMDs.

    • hambuger on 13/06/2019 - 19:48

      I still have a ton of them, occasionally use em!

    Radiohead will only stream/sell the collection for 18 days.
    After June 29, the hacked tunes go back into the vault (at least where “official” channels for obtaining them are concerned)

      Karma Police, arrest this man.

    Good work. Easily the post of the week.

  • larryhudson on 13/06/2019 - 10:23

    If you're a fan of Radiohead, and a fan of the environment, it's worth spending 18 pounds (~$33) to own the recordings and support the work Extinction Rebellion is doing.

    • chymb on 13/06/2019 - 10:31

      Am I better off getting these for free and donating directly to Extinction Rebellion? Are Bandcamp taking 10%? Do I want them to?

      • larryhudson on 13/06/2019 - 11:27
        +3

        Good point, I think Bandcamp take 15% of digital purchases.

      • serpserpserp on 13/06/2019 - 21:32

        I like supporting bandcamp too.

        • chymb on 14/06/2019 - 10:20

          OK, since YOU vouch for them I shall purchase through them.

    • jelko on 13/06/2019 - 21:35

      Get the free version. Members of Radiohead have enough money. If they want to support Extinction Rebellion then they have enough money to give to them as well.

      • larryhudson on 14/06/2019 - 17:04

        You're not giving money to Radiohead by buying these recordings.

  • Sage on 13/06/2019 - 12:15

    That album title.
    Were they actually hacked, or is this an official and legal release?

    • omgitzrick on 13/06/2019 - 12:19
      +2

      Both.

    • iDroid on 13/06/2019 - 13:25

      They were hacked, hackers tried to extort Radiohead with threat of releasing recordings.

      Radiohead said stuff that, we'll release them all and give money to charity.

      Win-Win!

      Radiohead rock!

      • AngusD on 13/06/2019 - 14:16

        I wonder if we could come to some kind of arrangement so that if people donate a sufficient sum of money to a nominated charity then Nickelback will cancel the release of their new album? :P

    timestamps for songs here

    • serpserpserp on 13/06/2019 - 22:01

      Thanks for that, makes it easier.

      What are everyone's picks?

    The song poison is interesting as a Paranoid Android/Exit Music work in progress.

    • iDroid on 13/06/2019 - 13:44

      Agreed - some nice tid-bits on there!

  • rhimes on 13/06/2019 - 21:52

    Some of it is interesting. I kinda like the bendsy WIP motion picture soundtrack around 30min mark in MD112 better than the album version,

  • idontpayretail on 14/06/2019 - 09:34

    My fave band of all time! You have absolutely made my day, thankyou!!

  • dealord on 19/06/2019 - 11:08

    How do you "hack" a minidisc? Do they mean they were stolen?
