Remix Nude For Radiohead

From Radiohead’s blog:

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 is at www.radioheadremix.com/information.

You can buy the stems at www.radioheadremix.com/buy

You can upload your finished mixes at 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.

If you go to iTunes you can buy each component of the song for 99 cents, also check out the nude remix by holy fuck-nude remix

On a sidenote I saw Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks at Bowery Ballroom last night and they were great. Malkmus is a guitar god.
