Re: Radiohead - The new Pink Floyd?
I think it might just be part gimmick, part genuine selflessness by the band. But that's just an outsider's opinion. I really like it, makes up for Hail to the Thief quite nicely.

Re: Radiohead - The new Pink Floyd?
I really wish they had just charged a set fee for FLAC files. Listening to it this way, especially without any artwork or lyrics or cryptic website hunts, seems a little... experientially bereft.

you know, i think I actually knew that.. but for some reason someone told me the version of events I went with and relayed it to you... why did i think they'd signed to a new one?

anyway, moving right along..

Re: Radiohead - The new Pink Floyd?
Saul Williams' new album release is exactly the model they should have gone with. For $0 you get complete artwork, lyrics and 192 kbps MP3 with no credit card charge whatsoever. For $5 you get 320 kbps or lossless audio.

David Byrne at Wired, taliking about music and marketing here.

In the recent past, it often seemed like all or nothing, but maybe now we won't be forced to choose.

Re: Radiohead - The new Pink Floyd?
Of those six possible distribution avenues he mentioned, Radiohead used at least three for In Rainbows. As a fan who has followed this band semi-religiously for over a third of my life, it STILL smells of throwing shit at a wall to see what will stick. Not necessarily a bad thing, mind you, but in the end I only wound up spending money on the damn thing last night when I quite by chance encountered the traditional CD in Wal-mart, of all places. It was quite a weird feeling.

I'm pretty sure there'll be room in the market for CD's for a long time. Until the DRM thing gets sorted out, downloads will continue to be a pain - and the lawyers show no sign of clue-intake, at this point.
