Radiohead: the Zeros & Ones...
A recent post on Puddleglum.net has stirred a bit of buzz. Check it out before you read the rest of this, as I'll be developing on some of their ideas.
My friend Jason Silverman AKA fflook e-mailed me earlier with an interesting discovery.
Very strange indeed. Also take a look at the content page of industriassafor. I can't read (what is presumably?) Portuguese but I get the feeling that this is not related to Radiohead at all. If it is, someone could do some digging in the site, perhaps a translation would be nice!
Not being convinced by this result I googled 01010101010101010101010 and found some links I wasn't comfortable clicking, like hackermaster.da.ur for example. Anyone who wants to take the plunge and surf these links, please report below.
It also occured to me that In Rainbows and Ok Computer are the same number of letters. I spliced them alternatingly in a few different methods to arrive at 1. "oikn rcaoimnpbuotwesr", 2. "ionk rcaoimnpbtoewrs", 3. "oskw ocbonmipaurt enri", 4. "sowko bcnoimapru tneir", 5. "irne truapimnobco wkso", and 6. "rient urpamioncb okwos". All of which is a bunch of nonsensical gibberish. It turns out I over-thinked the entire thing, since only the first means anything to google.
sorta...
In fact, the first returns a google suggestion, "Did you mean: on rcaoimnpbuotwesr". Um... yeah sure? But surprisingly there is only one result... and it somehow links to a radiohead video on youtube! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vnN9TbMUDkM. Try it yourself. I can't figure out why it links to this.
I haven't listened to the combined In Rainbows/Ok Computer mix yet, but I will soon. I still think there must be more to it.

...I put together the alternations of the tracklisting (assigning 0 for OK and 1 for IR) and got 0101010101001010101010 . I googled this and got this page: http://www.industriassafor.net/logo.swf . I posted the find on both ask.metafilter and puddlegum, but check it out, it's a weird site with a pulsing flash splash page and that's it. weird huh?

hi, i just look at the site http://www.industriassafor.net
and in fact, is spanish. It is a company from spain (barcelona) which gives services for industrial kitchens.
it seems nothing related to RH.
have u conver to decimal numbers the binary code?
that's a good idea, but the binary is "010101010101010101010" which is considered malformed binary.
After listening to every combination of In Rainbows and OK Computer suggested (forward and backwardly spliced), I feel the albums were definitely not produced to be mixed. Perhaps layered? But certainly not mixed.
The production values are not even similar. I've produced over 3000 electronic tracks, so I think I could spot if they were really lead-ins. The differences are so striking, and the notes that are supposed to lead-in from one to another are coincidental.
If there are similarities/messages they are cryptic, not directly sonic.
the youtube hit on google is because this site:
http://forum.rekordsrekords.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=47272&st=30&start=30
links to the youtube clip.
thanks Chops.
how did you deduce this?
