The "song" I've been hearing on the radio is just heinous.

Thom Yorke's BitTorrent release had over a million downloads in six days
http://www.engadget.com/2014/10/03/thom-yorke-bittorrent-download/
... but we don't know how many of those are just the free bundle, vs. the paid one.
regardless, the economics are better for the artists:
"BitTorrent confirmed to Billboard following Tomorrow's Modern Boxes' release that the company will receive 10% of the money from Yorke's sales -- 5% less than BandCamp or BandPage and far less than iTunes' 30% cut."

Which song was that? I dig the whole album and have listened to it at least four times so far.
Are you a Radiohead fan who only likes the pre-Kid A output?
And why "song" in "quotes"? Because it didn't fit into your definition of a "song"? There is not one specific way to compose music. There is no list of items that need to be in a track to consider it a "song" or "not" a "song".
