I posted a “Friday” comic yesterday. If you missed it, HERE it is.
Radiohead are calling their nontraditional bundling of “things” and “stuff” with their new record the world’s first “Newspaper Album.” I have no idea what that title is supposed to represent, but I support the idea that all future Radiohead releases be named after dying industries. How about the “Dial Up Album,” “The U.S. made Automobile Album” and “The Rigid Airship Album?” Maybe it’s like a newspaper because you have to rifle through a bunch of other shit to find the thing you want, and all these little cards and pieces of paper are likely to fall on the floor while you’re searching. Or maybe the “625 pieces of tiny artwork” are just coupons for Tide and Del Monte Green Beans.
More Radiohead stuff: ALL Radiohead fans must acquire and enjoy “Rodeohead” [by @nerdist and @phirm]. One time I covered a Radiohead song and put it up on the Yourtubes.
Oh, and yes that is a Machine Of Death reference in panel 3. The slip of paper says “Stabbed By A Dog.”
- Radiohead Release New Album ‘The King of Limbs’ One Day Early
- Radiohead‘s new album, King of Limbs, ready for download Feb. 19

Commenters: What other package tiers and prizes should Radiohead offer? What other bands would benefit from this type of distribution and what would their offerings be?
Wow – A New Yankee Workshop reference… I never would have guessed. (grew up on the show, unfortunately)
Did I catch a Machine of Death reference as well?
yup.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
However, I would pay the $106 to have the album on an Edison wax cylinder!…
+1, as my parents actually have a victrola to play it on…
One of the guys I work with does a show on early recordings. I'd love to slip that cylinder into the program.
i want that tote bag.
For $358 they should have all that mentioned, a lock of Norm Abram's hair in the tote bag, a cup of chewed up sunflower seeds, and a Girl Scout Daisy Vest slightly torn.
Abraham Lincoln and George Washington's wooden teeth would be a cool prize for the Ultimate Radiohead package
You also get Carl Kassel's voice on your home answering machine.
Eff yes, you do. You win, sir. And now our celebrity guest will lamely attempt to read the Will-Shortz-related prizes you get for putting up with Will Shortz's bullshit.
It's funny; I'm in the process of devising incentive packages for my own album launch campaign. These are some great ideas!
I want all that junk! Especially the spazdance dvd, Thommo's moves are so phenomenal the late Ian Curtis would be jealous.
Additionally I'd really like Thom's t-shirts that say YES and NO and then one that says DEFINITELY MAYBE.
And cheesecake!
They need a bundle with a decoder ring, so that members of the Radiohead Secret Society can decode Thom Yorke's latest secret message.
Maybe they've been wrong about Radiohead all along. Maybe they've been confusing musical genius with bat-shit crazed lunacy. Art for art's sake my black ass.
I want to bargain to buy just Step Up 3D audiobook as read by Sir Ian McKellan and the Edison wax cylinder copy only.
From what I can read on that paper whoever's receiving this is going to be stabbed by a dog.
Ah, radiohead. Once again revolutionizing music distribution by doing something that other, less well known artists have been doing for years. Buncha useless nonces.
For $756.42, you get the cd and Wil Wheaton wrapped in a pink bow, with a post-it note signed by Beck stuck to his forehead.
For an aditional $81.32 on any package you can get a limited edition number flask of the bands urine.
For an additional $312.43 plus one 'alf-a-penny, Thom Yorke will surgically cross-activate your visual cortex, lateral sulcus, and temporal lobe thus granting you synesthesia. You may now see, hear, and yes, even taste the music as it was truly meant to be experienced. Also, you get a lolly-pop.
Didn't Radiohead do this with some of their previous albums? 'Cause you ought to see this: http://www.cracked.com/article_18896_10-mind-blow…
And Joel, how long have you been a Radiohead fan?
You can Torrent it for free, which allows you to sneer at how Radiohead's "sold out" to "The Man" while you swill down another PBR.
Does that death fortune say "STABBED BY THE DOG"? Perhaps "STABBED WITH A DOG"? or "STABBED TO A DOG"?
Ugh, I see the answer was right there for me. That will teach me to post before reading the accompanying blog.
"Stabbed With A Dog" is the name of my Dogstar tribute band.
