Description:

A message from Green Plastic creator Jonathan:I rarely check site visits and logs so I have no idea if anyone still visits this site. For those of you reading this, you may have noticed I have changed the look. I wish I could say that this was done out of some motivation to get things going again, but truth be told, the WordPress theme I was using no longer worked. So, I switched to the default theme*.A screenshot from 2000This site had a good run from 1997 to around 2012/13 when life got a bit too hectic for me. With the rise of social media and sites like Reddit, who foster communities and fans much better than I ever did, it felt like this site no longer served a purpose. So I stopped updating and it s been sitting frozen ever since.My old links page. Where did everyone go?I periodically would think about updating, especially when Radiohead would release an album. The OK Computer mini disc hack earlier this year sent me into a spiral of nostalgia. I started this site in the months prior to OK Computer s release and can still remember the excitement and build up. I even had thoughts of bringing the site back in some new form, but just as before, life got in the way.Screenshot of an early page with Real Audio (!) downloads.So, as we begin a new decade, I wanted to start thinking about a new way of pumping some life back into this dormant place. I m not interested in trying be a source for the latest Radiohead news. There are plenty of other places for that. But I would like to find some way to honor the history of this site while still being an active member and contributor to the Radiohead community.If you have any suggestions, I m open to hearing them. Please feel free to leave them in the comments.News page from 1998. Yikes.Thank you to everyone that has ever visited this site.*In updating the theme to a modern one, there are pages that are broken. Please bear with me as I attempt to fix.  Radiohead announced today that they will be releasing a limited edition 7 record of Burn the Witch and Spectre to independent UK record stores tomorrow, May 13, and to select stores internationally soon.We ll keep you updated on the international release.

Let us know in the comments. After an Instagram tease this morning, Radiohead released a new music video for a song called Daydreaming moments ago. The video was directed by Paul Thomas Anderson and features Thom Yorke wandering around, entering and exiting different environments through doors.It was also announced that the still unnamed new album, their 9th, will be released on May 8th at 7 PM BST digitally.Here is the music video for Daydreaming :You may also purchase the single here or here.More info to come It s been a while, hasn t it?After deleting their entire presence off of the internet yesterday, Radiohead released two teaser video on their Instagram earlier today. This all led up to a full-length music video for a new song called Burn the Witch , directed by Chris Hopewell, who also directed the There There  video back in the day.Without further delay, here is the video for Burn the Witch :Stanley Donwood posted some behind-the-scenes photos as well: Hi everyone. As you can see, this site has not been updated since July of 2012 and you may have been wondering if it was ever going to be updated again. At this point in time, after 16 years (!) of running this site, I haven t had the time or resources to give it the love it deserves.The world has changed a lot since I first started this site. Back in 1997, there was no social networking, no Twitter or Facebook. The fansite was really the only way for fans to get the information they wanted about their favorite bands. Today, people can get push notifications and immediate aggregated updates on anything they want from all sorts of sources. This leaves a site like greenplastic.com a little less useful, especially when it s not updated as frequently.Green Plastic is not going anywhere and the site will remain online for a long time to come and I do hope to be able to return to posting regularly. In the meantime, you can visit our still active message board to interact with other fans.I appreciate all the love and support over the years.We ll talk soon,JonathanPS. Check out Thom s Dazed and Confused mix!
