radiohead of the class

I Love this radical move: Radiohead’s new single “Nude” can be remixed in GarageBand. (Full disclosure: I still haven’t bought the album.) I know…I know.

The separate sections (bass, voice, guitar, strings/fx and drums) are available for purchase iTunes in the same way that you purchase any other song.

Remix galore.

Finished tracks can then be uploaded to the Radiohead site where Radiohead faithful can vote for their favs.

Lather, rise, repeat. Cool!

it's cool to see more and more bands doing this. NIN (trent reznor) has been doing this for a while, putting garageband files up on his website for free. i like that radiohead and NIN are circumventing the labels in the same ways (free albums, downloadable garageband files, user-uploaded remixes). way back in the day, both he and garbage used to put up acid files and loops to mess around with.

it'd be cool if radiohead put the garageband files up for free, but whatevs. close enough :)
