Radiohead-y
This entry comes not from the book stacks, but the audio racks. I’ve been grooving to the latest offering from RadioHead, “In Rainbows,” for the past few days, downloaded from their website. You’ve probably heard about the deal already - you can pre-order the physical disc in a fancy box to be delivered in December, for a cost of about 40 pounds, or you can pay whatever you want - even nothing - and download it directly.
I chose to pay for my download, because I think it’s cool that I could set the price. No, I won’t tell you what I paid. But I will tell you that they’ve never really done a bad disc, so that had a lot to do with their success in releasing their most recent album without going through their label. The price I paid was well worth it - I’m digging the tunes - but as always, your mileage may vary.

I am so pleased that Radiohead is joining the vanguard for new forms of distribution. I’ve never been a huge listener, but I’ll definitely pay to download the songs.
