I’m not sure if I should file this under ‘Conspiratorial Artistic Genius’ or ‘Hobbyists In Need Of Hobby’ but, some intrepid Radiohead fans have begun peeling back the perceived layers surrounding the release of In Rainbows and its (supposed) relationship with 1997’s Ok Computer. From Puddlegum:

Radiohead: 01 and 10

Ten years after OK Computer shocked the world, Radiohead released In Rainbows on October 10 (10/10). Though no one was expecting the album to be released until 2008, Radiohead announced In Rainbows just ten days in advance. In Rainbows, which consists of ten letters, has ten tracks, and would be downloadable from a rumored ten servers.

Degenerate “rocker” Gary Glitter has been sentenced to three years in jail for child molestation in Vietam. Why such a light sentence? He paid the families of the girls $2000 each to drop the rape charges which, in Vietnam, carry a penalty of death-by-firing squad. Yuck. I feel like I need to wash my hands after typing about this creep.
