Radiohead honor Harry Patch, give to charity with online single

Using iTunes can feel like second nature to some as downloadable or digital-only music has become more prevalent. Now supergroup Radiohead have released their second online exclusive musical effort as a tribute to the late Harry Patch.

The song entitled Harry Patch (In Memory Of) is available only as a download and proceeds will go to proceed for British Legion. To U.S. customers, the track will reportedly cost around $1.70.

For those not in the know, Harry Patch was the last surviving UK World War One veteran and he passed away at the age of 111. Thom York chose to honor Patch with reportedly evocative lyrics that indented to evoke the horrors of war.

Fans of Radiohead can download their song from the band's official web site.

While the band isn't the biggest Twitter users - there is a page @thomyorke with no picture and no tweets - another musical outfit from Great Britain recently indicated their love for Twitter.

The Irish guys of U2 decided to tweet photographs and random observations from venues and their tour bus as their 360 tour kicked off. Bono, reportedly, is quite the avid twitter-user.
