After uploading the best of their live concerts onto YouTube, Radiohead have now released a jigsaw puzzle, which they’ve called the Radiohead Fragmentary Time Waster.

The 1000-piece puzzle makes up the artwork from the band’s Com Lag (2plus2isfive) compilation EP, which was released in 2004. An accompanying advert posted on social media reads: “Bored? Got nothing to do? Fed up? Nothing on the TV. No way! What you gonna do? Gonna get a jigsaw innit.”

“Tell me more, tell me more! A Radiohead jigsaw. Has it got loads and loads of pieces? A thousand. Is it really difficult and will it take ages? I reckon so, yeah. Sounds great! Is it affordable? Depends on your finances. Is there a chance you could still be bored after completing it? Yeah probably. Sounds amazing!!!” it continues.

“One thousand small pieces must be carefully assembled in the correct and approved manner, only then will the entirety of the image be apparent to you,” reads a description on the box of the puzzle. “It will not be easy. It is not meant to be easy. It will be easy. It is meant to be easy.”

In typical Radiohead fashion, the jigsaw is sustainably sourced and made from 100 per cent recycled material. It can be ordered now at the WASTE website.
