Supposedly, you can pay what you want. I'm giving zero bucks a shot. If it's a good album (I haven't liked their last few albums), I'll buy the discs from a store to do my part. :)

[OUAndy1807]

I don't know if it's going to be in the stores at all.

Radiohead's In Rainbows To Be Released Digitally October 10 -- You Decide The Price!:cool:

In yet another challenge to the music business, price for download is: 'It's up to you. ... No, really. 'It's up to you. ... '

In what could either be described as "the opening salvo in the all-out war for the future of the music industry" or "the most bizarre marketing strategy of all time," Radiohead will release their much-anticipated new album, In Rainbows, via their Web site on October 10, less than three months after they finished mixing and mastering it.

And while a band fast-tracking their new record isn't exactly breaking news these days (Montreal indie-poppers Stars did it earlier this year with In Our Bedroom After the War), what makes Radiohead's release of Rainbows particularly amazing is that fans will get to determine how much the album will cost to download. Seriously!

The album, helmed by longtime Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, is available in two versions via the band's new, rainbow-y site: as a standard download or as a deluxe edition that comes with Rainbows on both CD and vinyl, plus a second disc of new songs and a lyric book. The deluxe edition runs £40 (about $81). The download version costs whatever you want it to, the price field left blank with only a pair of notes from the band — "It's up to you" and "No, really. It's up to you" — serving as a Jiminy Cricket to potential customers.

With the possible exception of Prince's decision earlier this year to distribute copies of his new LP free with a British newspaper, it's a move that's a first for an artist of Radiohead's stature, and it opens the discussion to several issues the record industry has been grappling with for years: Who owns music? How much should music cost? Do bands of a certain caliber (e.g. Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band, Sonic Youth) really need a label to survive? (Currently, Radiohead are without a label, having fulfilled their six-album deal with EMI with 2003's Hail to the Thief, although rumors continue to buzz about an imminent deal for the band.)

Fans who purchase either edition of Rainbows will be given a special code to download it from the band's site on October 10. The download version of Rainbows will be DRM-free, which will allow fans to share it freely. Given the rather, uh, laissez-faire approach Radiohead have adopted for the album, we're not surprised.

According to a spokesperson for the band, Radiohead are also planning "a traditional CD release" of the album for early 2008.

Track list for Radiohead's In Rainbows, according to their publicist.



"15 Step"
"Bodysnatchers"
"Nude"
"Weird Fishes/Arpeggi"
"All I Need"

"Go Slowly"
"MK2"
"Last Flowers"
"Up on the Ladder"
"Bangers and Mash"

160KBPS? Hmmmm. Might just download this as a freebie, then actually buy it as a CD when it comes out. Depends on the quality.:cool:

[BillyBall]

Get this album in your earholes now, YWIA. Fantastic....

[KC//CRIMSON]

Wow! This is really good. I'm pleasantly surprised.:cool:

15 Steps is a great opener.

[BillyBall]

Much more accessible than other albums (Amnesiac and Kid A) They did a fantastic job.

[birddog]

is it easy to do?

i'm goin' in!

[silverwheels]

Not that impressed with it. But since many albums have disappointed me this year (Interpol, The New Pornographers, Editors), this seems very good compared to those.

[OUAndy1807]

you have to listen to the Interpol CD about 10 times before it hits you. It's great.

[silverwheels]

I guess. I listened to it a few times and it never had the same impact on me as Turn on the Bright Lights did, but that was just a fantastic album. Maybe I was expecting too much.

As for In Rainbows, I'll give it a few more spins. I definitely don't consider it to be bad, but it doesn't really compel me to listen to it, either.

They may never do anything as good as TOTBL...it's a pure and beautiful album.

I love everything they've ever done but that album will probably always be my favorite.

[dolemitesooner]

what the hell is totbl?

[BillyBall]

what the hell is totbl?

Turn on The Bright Lights

[birddog]

i am tiring of the same drawn out, gloomy music.

this radiohead will take me a while. seems like their last few albums kind of run together. i was hoping for a more polished album in the neighborhood of the bends, but i guess those days are gone forever.

Yeah, I consider TOTBL to be one of the best albums of the 2000s. Hard to live up to that.

[KRYPTON]

I listened to Radiohead almost exclusively for a matter of a few months while I was not getting enough sleep. I ended up incredibly depressed.

I was also working for the French at the time, that may have had something to do with it too.

That said, I need to get In Rainbows I suppose.

Radiohead 2008 Tour Tidbits Emerge

When Jonny Greenwood spoke to a couple press outlets on the day of In Rainbows' digital release, he sent the world's hearts racing with but a sentence, one which disclosed that Radiohead plan to tour in 2008.

Radiohead's publicist has confirmed that this is indeed the plan, and, adding more fuel to the fires of anticipation, Billboard.com today spoke with Radiohead's management, who offered a few more details on the travel plans in progress.

"We plan to tour next year, starting in May through to probably the end of the year. With lots of holidays in that period," Courtyard Management rep Bryce Edge told Billboard.com. Um, save the, er, dates!

"At the moment we are talking with our agents in North America and for the rest of the world, trying to get a schedule which works for the band and works financially."

Expect larger venues than those Radiohead played back in 2006. Also don't be surprised if you detect a trace or two of reluctance in Thom Yorke's visage onstage. "He likes to do shows, but the whole business of schlepping around the world is not top of his list of favorite things to do. He really enjoys playing to the fans-- it's just the process of how to do that which is the pain in the neck.

Added Edge: "They're not road dogs. They never have been."

Edge also claimed rumors that Radiohead had moved 1.2 million digital copies of In Rainbows were "exaggerated" (the data has not yet been analyzed), but suggested folks may have paid an average of £4 (roughly $8.18) per copy. Radiohead may not be road dogs, but they are cash cows.

The Ticketmaster (http://www.ticketmaster.com/artist/763468) sale is Saturday morning at 9am.



Good Luck.

[BillyBall]

I got 4 pit tix to the show in St Louis, really I lucked out and logged on during the 15 minute or so span that they were available on W.A.S.T.E. They are coming here to Chicago in August, but I really cant wait that long....

[tbl]

On the Radiohead website they were selling for $65. Ticketmaster is selling them for $35-55. That seems out of whack...

I will say this, the tickets Ive gotten through WASTE for the last 3 tours have been incredible. I would pay 10 extra bucks to know that I will be guaranteed seats in the first 10 rows.

Agree and somehow they do translate to a GREAT live show. Thy are good, go see them.

I wish they would announce more dates, they have my neck of the woods listed but no dates.

They are supposed to announce the August - September dates in early March.

[birddog]

i missed out on a chance to see them at white river amphitheatre, close to mt. rainier. it was an outdoor show, camping, what nots and what have yous. anyone ever been there before?

Congrats on not being a moron like myself and buying the reserved seating...even though the pit tix were available for purchase.

Anywho, I'm sure I'll be more than pleased with the seats I end up with.

Their live shows are incredible, that's what they're famous for is their live sets.

Lot's of jamming and stretching their songs out. Ever hear a twenty minute version of Everything In It's Right Place? It's teh win.

And the song list is never the same.:cool:
