:shock:

I guess that they don't need a record label any longer. ???

I'm interested. After deciding that I hated the last one, I listened to it last week for the first time in probably a year. I actually liked it pretty well.

Though people who have been on record labels for 15 years and sold millions of albums need labels less than people no one has ever heard of.

I am super stoked on this, but I am kind of bummed I just can't buy a normal cd. I am also curious what type of files/bitrate the download will be.

that'd be true even if they'd reached that point without a label, tho.

I'm a big fan of Radiohead...but given the premise of them being an innovative group, I have found myself wishing that the last couple of cd's surprised me more. I have also thought that it would be interesting if they did something a little less dark. I'm not wanting Wildflowers...but maybe Perfect From Now On...? Course Pink Floyd never lightened up either...it's kind of their stock in trade.
Off topic, has anyone listened to Pray off of Joel's Myspace? I think Tom Waits is singing on it, or that's a really convoluted title. It's def a different road for him...and it's gotten stuck in my head.

I'm a Radiohead fan like the rest of them, BUT the copy/rip-protection they put on Hail To The Thief (CD) just really pissed me off.
I bought the CD to have for my collection, but when it came time to rip the AAC files into iTunes, it came out garbled to shit, with skips, pops and stuff. I tried it on separate computers and even with Wavelab and it couldn't be imported.
I guess they (more likely EMI) were so pissed about digital copies of their music being leaked on the internet from past albums that they took a heavy-handed approach in preventing their CD from ever being able to be converted to MP3/AAC formats. And we all know about the iTunes boycott - go search for them and see what comes up.

Now, this latest-news with the "Pricelinesque" business model for the new album just puzzles me. One step back and two steps forward perhaps... :roll:

nice, I did the download pre order its nice to know I can get the real deal though. I did find the fact you can choose you much you want to pay rather amusing.

I'm really excited. Although I doubt this will top Thom York's solo stuff...that's pure genius.

Been listening to that in the car quite a lot actually.

It's about to take a big old back seat though, I just got the re-release of Gabor Szabo's "Dreams."

I'll take it for $0. I might buy the box, but I just want the vinyl.

Jonah Matranga [Onelinedrawing, Far, Gratitude, New End Original] has been doing this for years...and making music for years. It works. Radiohead will probably be credited for starting it though...

I'm guessing that the DRM on the last record pissed the band off too, hence the new delivery method that came with their "freedom".
