RPL also contains scanned newsletters, album art, and a store where you can order dozens of old Radiohead t-shirt designs - they’ll start shipping February 3rd. You can register for a library account to place merchandise orders, but the card itself is just a downloadable image file - ideally, you should probably print it out, crop an awkwardly shot passport photo onto it, and laminate it for future use. TKOL RMX 8, an addendum to the 2011 remix album TKOL RMX 1234567, is back online after its original digital stream went down. The four- track Drill was just added to the band’s YouTube channel. The archive launched today, and in a brief introduction, the band describes it as “an online resource containing videos, music, artwork, websites, merchandise, and assorted ephemera.” It’s very loosely arranged by album, and as NME notes, you can find links to work that’s been historically tough to find online. And just like a library, it can point you toward some of the band’s lesser-known work - including its debut album Drill. But the clever touch emphasizes how much the Radiohead Public Library (henceforth RPL) does feel like browsing a particularly chaotic research archive. Alright, I’ll admit it: despite the headline above, a downloadable library card may be the least exciting part of the “Radiohead Public Library,” a new online collection of the band’s material.
