Radiohead gets hacked. Donates to climate change

We got hacked last week - someone stole Thom’s minidisk archive from around the time of OK Computer, and reportedly demanded $150,000 on threat of releasing it.

So instead of complaining - much - or ignoring it, we’re releasing all 18 hours on Bandcamp in aid of Extinction Rebellion: https://radiohead.bandcamp.com

Just for the next 18 days. So for £18 you can find out if we should have paid that ransom.

Never intended for public consumption (though some clips did reach the cassette in the OK Computer reissue) it’s only tangentially interesting. And very, very long. Not a phone download. Rainy out, isn’t it though?

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

oh wow, legends saving the Earth  

why does this sound so familiar that happened to -you know who- a few years ago 

Spoiler

the real LG5 might have been held for ransom

It sucks that they got hacked, but this is a really great response from them: removing the power from the hacker and saving the planet all at once
