So once again Radiohead have pioneered a new and interesting model for distribution

To celebrate this week’s single release (we still have those in England) Radiohead have broken up the song ‘Nude’ into pieces for you to remix.

For those of you who enjoy this sort of thing, you can buy the separate components or ’stems’ (bass, voice, guitar, strings/FX and drums) and remix your own version of the song. You can do this by adding your own beats and instrumentation or just remixing the original parts. More information here: http://www.radioheadremix.com/information/

You can buy the stems here: http://www.radioheadremix.com/buy/

You can upload your finished mixes here http://www.radioheadremix.com and be judged and even voted on by ‘the public’.
You can also create a widget allowing votes from your own website, Facebook or MySpace page to be sent through too.

Hope you enjoy it

For those of you who aren’t that way inclined, Nude is also available in its entirety on CD and 7 inch (UK release) at the usual retail outlets.

Watch Steal This Film Part 2, for everything you ever wanted to learn about copyright. . . but were afraid to ask! It was downloaded 35,000 times on the first day it was available online which is pretty damn good. As an added joy you can watch it on the Shooting People website which you should definitely visit if you haven’t already.

We will be posting more on this soon but in the meantime check out the film itself.
