Radiohead is once again reaching out to fans on the Internet after using it to make the band's latest album "In Rainbows" a chart-topping success. Last year, Radiohead released the album for download on its website and let users decide what they wanted to pay for it. Now, the UK rock act has teamed up with iTunes and GarageBand for an interactive project that involves the fans again.
Specifically, Radiohead is allowing fans to rework the the album's second single, "Nude." Five separate tracks are available from iTunes Plus; bass, voice, guitar, strings/effects and drums. Those who attain all five will be sent an access code to complete the task via the GarageBand or Logic music production software.
Finished mixes can be uploaded to Radioheadremix.com, where fans have until May 1 to listen and vote for their favorite. Earlier this year, the CD version of "In Rainbows" was released, debuting at No. 1 on the U.S. and UK charts.
