Can't believe there is anyone who doesn't already know this, since it has been reported everywhere from Pitchfork to Radio 4, but it is worth saying that Radiohead's tribute song to Harry Patch is worth £1 of anyone's money.
Despite being written, recorded and released in a very short space of time, it is on a completely different level from most music I have heard this year. Managing to sound haunting, sad (it almost reduced me to tears on first play), defiant and angry at the same time, it sounds orchestral and beautiful whilst describing the futility and tragedy of war.
Anyone who downloads this from somewhere non-official without paying for it, or even just listens to the stream should hang their head in shame. All proceeds go to the British Legion and as I said, this track is worth far more than £1.
