The new Radiohead CD is coming!
It is titled, “In Rainbows”. You can find more about it here: http://www.inrainbows.com/Store/Quickindex.html
Even better, there is a severe twist. Radiohead has apparently not signed on with a record label. It is only currently available from their website in forms of download or discbox.
The download price is what you like it to be. Seriously. If you think it’s worth 1000 bucks, then it is. If you think it’s worth nothing, then it is. No DRM or bullshit. The download will be available October 10.
The discbox will be shipped before December 3rd. The discbox contains vinyl of the album, photos, other neat things, and the digital download. It’s 80 USD (or 40UK Pounds). Go sinking US dollar go!
Great concept. Who needs a record company?
Keep in mind, in a perverse way this isn’t socialism or whatever, it’s actually as capitalistic as it gets. The value of the object is whatever the consumer thinks it is.
