Dear Santa: all I want for christmas is new radiohead. Oh wait...
New Radiohead album tomorrow. Pay what you want to?
I'm probably going to be one of the schmucks who shells out the $80 for the fancy box set with vinyl, cd, and sundries.
In similar "fuck you record label/recording industry" news, NIN's Trent Reznor recently announced,
"Hello everyone. I've waited a LONG time to be able to make the following announcement: as of right now Nine Inch Nails is a totally free agent, free of any recording contract with any label. I have been under recording contracts for 18 years and have watched the business radically mutate from one thing to something inherently very different and it gives me great pleasure to be able to finally have a direct relationship with the audience as I see fit and appropriate. Look for some announcements in the near future regarding 2008. Exciting times, indeed."
Ween announced their new record will hit in 2 weeks. The PR hype machines appear to be dying.
