I held off from saying anything here Radiohead-related because I figured as soon as I typed out half a post something new would reveal itself and I'd have to edit and yadda yadda I'm lazy - and anyway, it was the absence of things happening the past couple of days. The band totally erased their web-presence, making their website and their Twitter and their Facebook and their Instagram accounts go white, giving all the headline writers a great opportunity to riff on the band's seminal song "How To Disappear Completely."

Anyway last night I guess they started posting to their Instagram account, and you can see the two videos they've dropped so far right here.The one up top is just bird-song and stop-motion animation, while the one below's more stop-motion and some actual new music. NEW MUSIC! This week's gonna be a good week, you guys.

If you've been keeping track of this news then you've probably already heard this but a mysterious flyer was sent out to some lucky assholes that I hate in the UK over the weekend containing the phrase "Burn The Witch" -- this is the title of an old song that the band's been playing with (but never properly recorded) and so everybody's convinced this will probably be the title of the lead single, if not the album itself. I guess we will see! Soon, one hopes! SOON.
