Radiohead Want You To Remix \"Nude,\" While Parlophone Will Issue Best-Of

Radiohead want you to remix their new single, "Nude."

Fans can purchase five different "stems" (components) of the In Rainbows track on iTunes — the song's guitar, bass, vocals, strings/effects and drum parts — and then remix them however they choose. If fans buy all five stems, on April 11 they'll be emailed a code to a file that can be opened using the GarageBand computer program. GarageBand isn't necessary to remix the files, though, as the band's site states that the files are compatible with many music production and remixing programs.

Once fans have finished, they can upload their files to the band's remix site, where they'll be judged by fans until May 1. Fans can also create voting widgets for their website, Facebook or MySpace accounts. Thom Yorke and company will listen to the best remixes, and the present frontrunners are Toronto's Holy Fuck. You can hear their remix (along with others that have been uploaded) here. The single version of "Nude" hit U.K. stores on Monday.

The "Nude" remix challenge comes on the heels of Radiohead's current animated video contest, in which they've challenged fans to submit video ideas for any track on In Rainbows. Radiohead will choose the winner on July 7.

Radiohead went through a messy split with longtime label EMI, which led to them releasing the CD version of In Rainbows through different record companies around the world. Yorke was angered by EMI's allegations that his band had demanded a large amount of money for the album's release.

"That is a LIE," Yorke wrote on the band's site in December. "whAT we WANTED WAS some control over OUR WOrK and how it was used in the future by them- that seemed REASONAblE to us, as we care about it a great deal.

"Mr Hands was not interested. So neither were we. We made the sign of the cross and walked away. Sadly. We are are extremely upset that this crap is being spread about."

Last December, EMI issued a box set of all seven of Radiohead's releases on that label, which angered them even more. EMI subsidiary Parlophone has announced that it will release Radiohead: The Best Of in the U.K. on June 2. It will reportedly be available in three formats: a single disc, a double-disc and a limited edition four-disc vinyl set that's only available for pre-order and will be deleted when the album hits stores.

Radiohead will play Toronto's Molson Amphitheatre on Aug. 15.
