And to follow-up with my first december post, I just wanted to celebrate that Radiohead's new album, In Rainbows, is out today. The band pulled off a great stunt early October, by not only announcing their new album, but also announcing that it would be out in 9 days (10 October), and at any price (i.e. you could get it for free) through their own website (skipping the record companies and retailers). Although it remains to be seen what kind of impact this could have on the music industry (lower prices? more direct sales?), I thought it was great that a band of this stature decided to do what they want, rather than following orders from a record executive.
And I love it, more down-tempo, beautiful songs, which only get better after listening to it more. Although it's difficult to pick a real favourite, the most straightforward beautiful song is Nude. It's an older song, which they luckily decided to record and put on In Rainbows.
Enjoy!
