Media Consumes Me

Because they’re obviously up to something.

Last week, they release this track. Then, Thom does this interview with The Believer, where he says a whole number a things about how they don’t want to release another LP for awhile, and would prefer to release a few EPs first. Then, not even a week later, this “mysterious” track is uploaded to AtEase, the leading Radiohead fanforum, with this explanation:

Those cheeky-bastards! Doomcore? Don’t insult me, Thom, we all know you have the most gigantic lying mouth of all time. I can see right through your “i”’s, you’re up to something.

This section here is most peculiar to me:

iiii that the box is not under threat iiii
iiii however they are set to remove iiii
iiii other boxes iiii
iiii in fact i have the list in front of me iiii

Oh, and this:

Bring on the wild speculations!
