In typical atypical Radiohead style, Radiohead have announced they're releasing their new album themselves in 10 days in digital download format, on December 3rd, on deluxe CD/LP format and in spring (March-ish) via traditional outlets on CD.
So how much do you pay for a digital download to the artist? Turns out, the correct answer is however much you think is fair.
Radiohead says F.U. Music Industry!
OH NO! THE GENIE! THE BOTTLE! IT DOES NOT FIT!
Bandwidth and storage have become so cheap. I was reading today about the New Pornographer's latest album. The "Executive Edition" of the album comes with three blank CDs. The content for these CDs lives on a passworded website. One of the CDs is to be a live show, which hasn't even been recorded yet, as they're currently on the tour wherein which it will be recorded.
Thank you Residents.
