Radiohead download
What is your opinion of the new radiohead album that you can download and pay whatever you want to pay? Is it a bit cheap to choose to pay 10p for example or is it the price Radiohead pay to allow this option?

can't you hear samples before you buy? isn't that the same as saying "I don't know if I'll like this film, therefore I'll only pay 10p to go to the cinema and watch it". If only life were like that.
We could have a massive debate about the price of music versus the value but music costs money to make and it would cost a lot of money to make Radiohead what they are today. They can afford to pull a stunt like this now but bands starting out can't. You just have to give your music away for free in the beginning because no one knows what you're like, whereas Radiohead fans know what Radiohead are like, so you buy an album on reputation. That's why huge artists can release the occasional turkey album and people will still buy it anyway because it's them.
I'll stop there, sorry.

the fact is......most people are deciding to pay the price of an average album for it.
To give an example of the albums I bought over the last few years:
Santana: Supernatural. I hated this and played it once. But I paid the same price for Radiohead: OK computer. I have listened to the latter hundreds of times. �60 would not really have been too much given the pleasure it gave me. Radiohead know this: their fans love their music because it is worth much more than the price of the average album. They can do this stunt because they know they are good. They put in the effort. If starting bands want the same, put in the effort and produce something really really good. So many people enter the music scene to make big bucks, and are really ripping people off, because they are derivative or just plain rubbish.

i think that most fans will be willing to pay a fair amount for the cd and the ones that don't are the ones that most likely would download illegally anyway. Not all of them are of this mind i'm sure but mostly.
Anyway has anyone downloaded it or registered to download it yet? I have been to the official website but can't find how to purchase it, any advice appreciated! For those who have ever visited the site you'll know that its (purposely) not always the easiest to navigate. There's a fine line between genius and madman but Thom i'm convinced is the former!
