RADIOHEAD Hit ICE For Using Their ‘LET DOWN’ Song In Video

RADIOHEAD have shared a brief statement addressed to the US’s
Immigration and Customs Enforcement who killed two American civilians,
after the Department of Homeland Security used a choral rendition of their
song LET DOWN (an absolute standout track from their standout 1997 LP
OK Computer):

“We demand that the amateurs in control of the ICE social media account take
it down. It ain’t funny, this song means a lot to us and other people, and you
don’t get to appropriate it without a fight.”

Also, go fuck yourselves.”

RADIOHEAD – Better Late Than Never

27 August 2025

What? RADIOHEAD at the top of the
Billboard Hot 100 with Let Down,
28 years after it came out?

I love it. Let Down, is one of my absolute favs from their 1997 masterwork
OK Computer. And I’m not alone in this. It has more than 337 million
streams on Spotify, that’s 100+ million streams more than lead single
Paranoid Android.

It should have been No. 1, 28 years ago too, but hey, better late than never.
