W.A.S.T.E.

W.A.S.T.E. stands for "WE AWAIT SILENT TRISTERO'S EMPIRE." This phrase is from a novel by Thomas Pynchon, called "The Crying Of Lot 49".

W.A.S.T.E. Products is a Radiohead company which sells Radiohead merchandise. Their website is at www.waste.uk.com. Don't forget to sign up by clicking on the 'Join w.a.s.t.e.' button to receive messages from the band.

In the words of Melanie from w.a.s.t.e.:



From 1992 to 1998, w.a.s.t.e. newsletters were mailed to fans who signed up. There were 16 in total. W.a.s.t.e. switched to sending e-mails in 1999 to make the service faster. Two emails have been sent since. The first one is from Colin and the second one is from Melanie:

W.A.S.T.E. letter #1 [October 15, 1999]
W.A.S.T.E. letter #2 [December 01, 1999] 



The band members don't give out their email addresses to fans to maintain their privacy.

This is the official w.a.s.t.e. online catalogue. Lots of neat merchandise. Don't forget to register to receive a merchandise catalogue and the w.a.s.t.e. newsletter (including messages from the band).


You might also recall seeing an item called "Ansaphone" at the w.a.s.t.e. site. This is actually a historical document of the band up to the release of 'The Bends'. Extraneous paraphenalia also enclosed. Four badges (blue and silver), stickers (set of 16 on a sheet and you get a couple of sheets), poster (printed for OAP1) with all five band members on it. And of course the Answerphone booklet.

"A couple of weeks before the name change, we put on the radio in my car, and every channel was playing Michael Bolton, singing the same song.  It was despicable.  Satan had taken over the airwaves." - Ed O' Brien.
