Fridiohead

Running from February 22 – April 12 2013, Fridiohead was a weekly Internet listening party for Radiohead’s studio albums. At 11 AM Eastern time I’d tweet a signal to start listening, and participants would all post about a given week’s album using the hashtag “#fridiohead“. I collected all these tweets afterward for a post-mortem on each album. It was a fun experiment to see whether distributed listening could be as enjoyable as sitting around a stereo together, and I think for me it was – especially for week 3 when we covered OK Computer.
