Thom Yorke has posted a free remix of “Harrowdown Hill”, from his solo album The Eraser, on Dead Air Space, the band's blog, as Barack Obama celebrates winning the US presidential election on 4 November. Yorke's note, dated 5 November, gives three reasons for it.

The birthday is Jonny Greenwood's; the spelling is Yorke's own. Of the track he says only that I humbly donate a remix of 'Harrowdown Hill' that was finished ages ago during the band webcasts², and that it is a small reminder of the Bush years. He signs off with a kiss.
