最近在独立呐喊论坛上下载到了Thom Yorke在Bridge School Benefit Concerts 2002上演出的Bootleg专集。没错，是Thom Yorke，而不是Radiohead。整场演出都是Yorke用一把木琴自弹自唱，连鼓都没有用，可见功力深厚。Bridge School Benefit Concerts的背景我不是很了解，似乎是音乐节的性质。这张Bootleg的录音很好，据说是演出的录音师录下来准备自己在家听的，结果不小心流传了出来。

这张Bootleg是双张，分别记录了十月26和27两天的演出。第一天的开场曲是电子味道很浓的Everything in Its Right Place，在木琴的演绎下有另外一种风味。而I might be Wrong、Sail to the Moon和There There等歌和在法国酒馆的现场的木琴版相比，少了Jonny电吉他和钢琴配合，仍不显单调。值得一提的是第二天的收场曲Paranoid Android，这是我第一次听到这个歌的木琴版，原以为这首歌不是很适合木琴演出，不过Yorke赋予了这首歌新的感觉，少了原版纷杂的感觉，

Thom Yorke has announced a new album, Tomorrow's Modern Boxes. In a letter co-authored with Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, he explained why the album is being distributed via torrent service BitTorrent.
Here's the letter:
As an experiment we are using a new version of BitTorrent to distribute a new Thom Yorke record.
The new Torrent files have a pay gate to access a bundle of files..
The files can be anything, but in this case is an 'album'.
It’s an experiment to see if the mechanics of the system are something that the general public can get its head around ...
If it works well it could be an effective way of handing some control of internet commerce back to people who are creating the work.
Enabling those people who make either music, video or any other kind of digital content to sell it themselves.
Bypassing the self elected gate-keepers.
If it works anyone can do this exactly as we have done.
The torrent mechanism does not require any server uploading or hosting costs or ‘cloud’ malarkey.
It's a self-contained embeddable shop front...
The network not only carries the traffic, it also hosts the file. The file is in the network.
Oh yes and it's called
Tomorrow's Modern Boxes.
