Once again, I cannot believe I'm doing this, but...

Part One: The Raindrops, The Raindrops
 
 
This is a small movie...of sorts. I mean, it's a FILM, you see. With Radiohead in it. Yep. As far as I can tell, it's only been released in full by Radiohead's official Youtube site.
 
Well, sorta. I mean, enough of the songs have been broken up that the whole damn thing is probably out there without Radiohead's name attached to it if you look long enough. But no one else has the whole 50 minute thing. So the band has kept that much control over it. Or else, no one else can put it up, beause it's 50 minutes long, and you can't do that kind of thing any more. Unless, apparently, you're friggin' Radiohead.
 
So my question is...what do we do with it here? I mean, it IS here, under the moniker of "added video," but it's not quite a, you know, music video. It's like a music movie. Just released online. So it doesn't have a cover. Is it just a video? Is it a movie? Is this the wave of the future? What do you think?
 
Part Two: Please Could You Stop the Noise?
 
Oh yeah, there's additional tracks on In Rainbows. Some kind of special edition second disc. Or something like that.
 
 
See? Are we supposed to do anything about that? I don't know! Is this thread even in the right part of the studio? I didn't know where to put it. They're both In Rainbows-related, but the first part is both technical and intruiging from the "internet video" aspect. This part's just...technical. And it's a wrap up now, I guess...

This is easy.  The video has been shown in it's entirety on cable.  A new cable channel Current TV played it a bunch of times when it was first released.  There is a special edition second disc.  It came with the super deluxe limited edition of In Rainbows which also had a vinyl version of the album.

If we're lucky both should be made available for purchase one day.  Don't know if there are any plans to do so yet.

Also, if you weren't aware of it check out this site: http://www.greenplastic.com/
"Originally created and launched on March 26, 1997, Green Plastic strives to bring the latest information about Radiohead to fans across the Internet."

They have all of the lyrics and additional information about all of their songs.  Really helped me explore the band when I first took an interest.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
