As we mentioned last month, Thom Yorke has teamed up with Bryan Ferry, Mark Ronson, Bob Hoskins, tennis player Andy Murray, and British Prime Minister David Cameron for a silent charity single called “2 Minute Silence.” I made a John Cage reference. People debated the concept. It’s almost time for you to download those two minutes of absence. The track was originally coming out 11/7, aka Britain’s Remembrance Day, but the official release date’s now 11/8. Regardless, on that official release date you’ll receive a link to an MP3 and an official video. Remember, “funds will support serving & ex-serving troops and their families.” Pre-order at silentsingle. Via deadairspace:
“wouldn’t it be great if it was number one”

Your headline is bad and you should feel bad.
I agree! I thought Radiohead had finally released their new album. Not this 2 minutes of silence bs.
any idea what the bitrate is gonna be? I can’t handle my silence in anything less than 320 kbs/sec
I think I saw a FLAC version floating around the P2P sites
Can’t wait to hear this in 24bit!
Judging from some of these comments, people are still missing the point of this experiment.
Isn’t the track supposed to be a moment of silence?
Judging from your comment, you seem to have missed the point of their sense of humors.
Yeah, ’cause undermining the theme of remembrance is absolutely hilarious.
that it is, bucko.
i don’t need to buy silence to remember something.
