Radiohead Releases New Album. Price? Up 2 U

Jylene recently did a Radiohead review for The Square, and a recent news item caught my eye: they have a new album. They're going sans label, and you can have it two ways: the first is by buying the physical box set, which costs £40.00, no matter where you live in the world. The second is by download, off their website. Cost? Up to you.

According to a spokesperson for the band, most are paying the normal price for an album (~£10) and few are going for ~£0.01. Downloads start 10 October. I've placed my pre-order. £0.00.


This is radical. No record label, no big brouhaha in music stores worldwide. You can pay anything you like ... I wonder if they accept used undies?

Let's see how this turns out. Those of you interested, place your pre order here. The site rocks.
