Who hasn't heard of Radiohead? That little English band which sings "Creep" and dozens of other songs. Unfortunately, or fortunately, they haven't made an album for three years. Three whole years; and it's still mixing in the damn studio.
Any way in? Well, there might. Make the damn album. Not the music, that would be too easy, just slow down laughter 500%. I mean, the album cover and everything.
I'm thinking of this: we make an album cover, and post it on radiohead fan forums, fake a news page. Of course, the amateurish cartoony look of Stanley Donwood will make things easier. Something that looks abstarct is definitely good.
Now, if someone is interested, here are album covers and logos. You can make one for another band's fans you want to fool.

And also - song titles.
Some comfirmed ones are thus:
Open Pick, Down is the New Up, All I Need, "Arpeggi", and Bangers 'n' Mash
The album title and picture are yet to be confirmed, so there's plenty of spetaculation. Photoshop masters, take up the challenge!

Maybe they should just name the album, "Over-rated media darlings"
They could have a picture of wanna-be intellectual twenty somethings stuffing the cash they earned at Starbucks into the band members pockets.

Reference:
In March Thom & Colin talk to NME (published in April) about the new album: Thom: "I got hold of this computer software where you can do town planning," he explains. "You can do this thing where you can draw trees and you have nice little men on bicycles, and landscapes and towns and you just build up a town like Sim City or something. That's what I'm writing about. It's like that "No Town" nightmare situation thing. We had this phrase kicking about for ages, "New Suburbian". It's like a made-up word, but that really sums up what I'm writing about at the moment I think. It's about that anonymous fear thing, sitting in traffic, thinking 'I'm sure I'm supposed to be doing something else'. Interestingly enough, it's similar to OK Computer in a way. It's much more terrifying. But OK Computer was terrifying too."
