New Toll Free number: Hail To the Theif

[MrMacMan]

Dial This right now
1-866-868-4433

Toll Free and the more funny thing I have heard in several days, recently the '1-866' numbers were added and made toll free. if you don't believe my word, here (http://www.uh.edu/infotech/news/story.php?story_id=382)

If you agree, if you disagree, being that this was one of the first new numbers implemented I feel a sense of irony.

When you call you will be given a list of 9 options, dial the number you want to hear:

1) Rotary phone - when chosen, you'll hear a loud long tone until you press a number, at which point you can press # to return to the menu
2) Any option chosen here will let you hear "I Will". Press * during "I Will" to hear "2+2=5"
3) Any option here will let you listen to "Go To Sleep". Press * during "Go to Sleep" to hear "2+2=5"
4) This will read a list of websites Radiohead endorses(like at Radiohead.com), if you press a number while she is reading them she'll ask to you "Please let me finish!"
5) This will just have the lady saying "Cobweb" over and over and over...
6) This will ask you for a 10-digit social security number. Whatever you put in will just lead to her saying "Hail to the Thief" and sending you back to the menu. How clever.
7) This will let you listen to "Sit Down, Stand Up". Press * during the song to hear "2+2=5"
8) She will say "I told you not to press 8." and hang up.
9) This will re-read the menu options
Small addition: Pressing * at just about ANYTIME will let you hear "2+2=5", even on the main menu.

ah, good ol' radiohead. hail to the thief is a pretty good one (i, for one, am happy to see them returning more to the kid a [or slightly before] style of music. things after that started to get a bit too ambient for me to *listen* to. i had to have them as background)


and for those who wonder why i have this album (and have had it for around a month), it was a prerelease to be reviewed for a school paper. if i can ever figure out the firewall issues i am having, you can all listen to it from my itunes.

I couldn't get it to work correctly, got this deafing tone. When the line was answered the lady said, "This is the hail to the thief customer care hotline." :( Decided to try a second phone call, choices so worry less, worry less more, or worry more; then got music. A hilarious phone call experience, thank you for the information! :p

mrmacman, that is a badass poster. that song is one of the scariest radiohead songs i have ever heard... the tone just doesn't match the lyrics; it's so creepy, lol!

baby duck monge: i don't understand what you are saying. Kid A is almost identical in style to their last album (Amnesiac). they were even recorded in the same session. do you mean back to pre-Kid A style? i would agree, i think, that that's where they're going. but myxomatosis and the gloaming are certainly heavy exceptions.

[MrMacMan]

Yes, I thought some might have some fun with it. :D

anyone else find this intresting/creepy?

hm... leaked album on a toll free number, how much better could it get?

edit: wait I forgot about the madonna hacked one, NOW that was killer! :p
