Radiohead

[bossy]

Their new album is available to buy now. I paid a pound for the download version, you can choose how much you want to pay. There is a 45p debit/credit card charge so you'll pay at least that much. There's also a box set thing availble for £40 that includes extras and vinyl stuff.

You don't get the download until 10th October so I don't yet know if it's worth a pound plus 45p .......

£1? You generous fucker.

[bossy]

Well I wouldn't probably have bought it. Could have paid nothing. I'm not really a big fan, just thought it was an interesting thing for a band of their stature to do.

[robbief]

you don't have to join in because its interesting. like that man who stands on his head in a bucket in town. thats interesting but nobody goes and plays bucket head standing with him do they?

[bossy]

No I don't, but I did. Jesus, finnicky fuckers.

[Total Longo]

If i end up having to pay £40 for the "discbox" packaging (which i probably will), i'll have that download for a pound too.

 

And where's Stu???

[dave u]

Those fucking whiny miserable depressing fucks would have to pay me to download anything of theirs.

[7dalglish]

Beats anything done by take that and my fish is better than yours

Every musician in the world should just stop what they're doing. Nobody will ever be as good as Radiohead. Perfection is the only word for them.

 

I hope by doing this, other artists will follow suit and the music industry's darker side will vaporise into oblivion with no money coming in.

It is interesting the way the selling and marketing of music is going. Prince giving away his album with concert tickets and newspapers and Radiohead potentially letting theirs go for 49p. Where will the cash come from? PRS, merchandising and tours, I suppose. However, there's a big fat slice of money that'll just disappear if artists give their music away. Also, how do new acts gain a profile? MySpace isn't popular enough to replace existing channels, is it?

arctic Monkeys showed the music "Bizz" whats what with their first album.Sure that thing was over the net for seemingly years before they released it ...didn't affect their album sales.

Thats what these music company fuckers just don't get,if its good people will buy it

Whingy?

Drony?

Monotonous?

Whiny?

Wrong location Paulo.

 

I can't wait to hear it; it'll rule of course but it's always interesting to see in what new ways they have decided to rule.

[G Richards]

Radiohead already have money behind them, so they are in a position to experiment. I daresay the amount of additional publicity they are generating due to not charging a set amount will all help towards the bottom line.

I second that emotion

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Why would you pay anything for it ?? Limewire, torrents, I understand this isfucking the music business but, well ,they where fucking us for a long time before the internet was spawned.

Of course. I forgot you were moving. Is that why you've been off here for week or so? How's the new gaff?

[Joe Strummer]

Radiohead have complete control over their record company and can do whatever the fuck they want, that is what makes them interesting for me. The Bends and Ok Computer are classics. Although I'm not a fan of their more recent stuff it wouldn't surprise me if they came up with another masterpiece this time round.

[Elmyn Noos]

unsure. Maybe they're good, and maybe they wear ladies knickers and tights and lick each other in the dark

[Stu Monty]

Something for the Radiohead fans on here:

 

It's basically a fifty minute film, featuring every track from the new album in some form (mostly live session tracks) from the new Radiohead Youtube channel.

 

Gav, Longo, Dudek; get on it boys, it's proper bo.

[Liquid football]

theyre shite, they are.

I'd agree with that word for word if they weren't absolute dogshite.

That comprehensive, neutral and encircling critique was like a bolt from the heavens allowing me to see the light. Thank you.
