saywha? I read that they've recently released a music video, but I see no album on oink or slsk. There is the "untitled (2007)" on some websites, which seems a bit shady to me. That is, what's your source? What's the release news that I'm missing?
It's a gullibility joke if it's so obviously false that only a gullible person would fall for it (or if it's april fools). Jeffery could have connections that I don't, and I've fallen completely out of the radiohead loop, so it was possible from my pov. Thus not funny, just disappointing.
I think the title of the album was the biggest giveaway.
It was sort of funny for me, because when I read this entry I didn't notice the subject line, and I did exactly the same thing you did - scour Wikipedia, OiNK, and Google for any information related to a new Radiohead album. When I came up empty-handed I came back and re-read the entry. This time I noticed the title, and realized that it was exactly what Jeffery just sent me on.
