In addition to a new full-length Gorillaz album, a new Klaxons EP, an awesome Nine Inch Nails live HD video, and a few other little stocking stuffers sure to turn up, we just unwrapped a big one: A complete video of the benefit for Haiti Radiohead played at the Henry Fonda Theater in Los Angeles in January, available for download (in DVD and 1080p MP4 formats), for free!
The multi-cam video was painstakingly put together by a group of fans, with Radiohead’s blessing and the support of Oxfam America. As the fans said:
It was a SPECIAL show with a SPECIAL purpose – to raise badly needed funds for those who lived through the devastation. And it seemed only appropriate that the DVD should carry on some of these goals. So on the behalf of our little team of three, I contacted the band/management to tell them about our project and asked to name a charity of their choice – so that those downloading the DVD could donate some money to it – however much they can (‘cause we trust Radiohead’s choices don’t we?). We were thrilled to hear that Radiohead supported our efforts :-) and named Haiti to be the ‘beneficiary’ of such donations.
So you can pick up the video from a number of different places, via direct download or torrent, all listed here, and if you’d like to show your appreciation with a donation to Oxfam’s Haiti Earthquake And Recovery Fund, you can do that here:

Hallelujah.
