What’s hiding in Radiohead’s album art?
Friday, February 18th, 2011
If you’re an avid Radiohead fan, then you’ve probably already downloaded their latest album, The King of Limbs. You’ve probably listened to it on repeat for several hours, Thom Yorke’s plaintive cryptic lullabies cossetting you in a mournful fug of despair. They’re a happy bunch, Radiohead.
The question is not what you think of the band’s latest opus, however, but rather whether you’ve noticed anything curious about the cover art. Both the MP3 and WAV versions of the album come with a huge 4.84 megabyte bitmap file of the album’s cover; a strange collage of silhoutted trees and eerie alien creatures.
Big Ideas (Don’t get any)

This fantastic video from James Houston was made in response to an online remix contest from Radiohead which invited musicians to reinterpret tracks from their recent album, In Rainbows.
Some of the results were fantastic, most were not. Houston took things a step further than most, hacking vintage hardware to recreate the different instruments in the song.
