Earlier today hundreds of fan-crazed Radiohead junkies hit the streets of Los Angeles, CA (and various other locations around the US) to receive their free copy of the bands new take on daily press, entitled The Universal Sigh. For more info on the paper, jump over to our news bit about it here.

If Radiohead wasn’t one of the most talented and uncompromising mainstream music acts since The Beatles, they’d surely be subject to mockery for being more gimmicky than a can of Coors Light.

Oh, and although they’re not accepting any money for the download, the guys in Radiohead are encouraging fans to make a donation to Oxfam to compensate for the whole “not paying” thing.
Well isn’t that nice. . .
