Verily I say unto thee, that Roy Schestowitz spake thusly:
> Radiohead video released on Google
On Google Code, to be precise (yes, that does seem an odd choice at
first, doesn't it?). Here's the direct link:
http://code.google.com/creative/radiohead/
The choice becomes clear upon further inspection. They haven't just
released a video, they've actually released the source code and data
required to /make/ that video too (or at least fiddle around with it).

Good goat! Major music artists not only releasing free music, but even
Free Software. What next, can we expect to see Thom Yorke's name in the
Linux kernel's changelogs? How about a Radiohead Linux disto?

No kidding.
And I though NIN's "remix" site was cool.
Looks like NIN have some catching up to do.
