“In celebration of November 5, Jonny’s birthday amid bonfire and fireworks in the UK and the dawn of a new era in politics in the USA, I humbly donate a remix of ‘Harrowdown Hill‘ that was finished ages ago during the band webcasts, a small reminder of the dark days of Bush’s,” wrote Yorke on his website.
