Is this a cleverly crafted Radiohead album launch, a protest, or something else?
Radiohead's internet presence is disappearing. As Reddit users noted, their website slowly decreased in opacity until it went entirely blank. It appears that tweets and Facebook posts from their accounts have been steadily disappearing. Update (5/1, 2:00 p.m. ET): There are no longer any tweets or Facebook posts on the band's accounts. Their profile pictures and cover photos have gone completely blank, as well. This comes one day after fans of the band received mysterious flyers with the words "Sing a song of sixpence that goes/Burn the Witch/We know where you live." It's unclear what it is, but something seems to be happening. Update (5/1, 2:28 p.m. ET): Now, it appears Thom Yorke has deleted his tweets. Update (5/1, 3:18 p.m. ET): Their Google+ page has now gone blank.
In the age of Napster, the band has been forward-thinking, so it could be anything.

FMD - it's significant to me - I think I just officially became old. I don't have any soshal meedya accounts, so for me 3 May 2016 was the day I was so far behind that I became cool again! I need to lookup my haircut before I become retro and trail off into fashion oblivion only to be revived in Simpsons parodies of Gen-X ..
Fark, I better do what my parents did, and tell my kids how cool I am when I pick them up from school .. lol .. so oooold .. What's Duran Duran doing at the mo?

What's worse is even the reference is dated.
