YORKE CELEBRATES OBAMA WIN WITH GIVEAWAY

RADIOHEAD rocker THOM YORKE is celebrating BARACK OBAMA's triumph in the U.S. presidential election on Tuesday (04Nov08) by giving fans a free copy of one of his songs.
Radiohead made headlines in 2007 after releasing their album In Rainbows online on a 'pay what you like' basis - and now the group's frontman has made his song Harrowdown Hill available as a free download, in celebration of Obama's victory.
Yorke writes on the band's official website: "In celebration of November 5, Jonny (Greenwood, Radiohead guitarist)'s birthday amid bonfire and fireworks in the U.K. and the dawn of a new era in politics in the U.S.A., I humbly donate a remix of Harrowdown Hill that was finished ages ago during the band webcasts, a small reminder of the dark days of (incumbent U.S. president George W.) Bush's."
The song, the original of which appeared on Yorke's 2006 solo album The Eraser, can be downloaded at Radiohead.com.
