Great footage of one of my current favorite bands playing at the BBC’s Big weekend
You may or may not have heard what Radiohead have done regarding the release of their new album. I headed over to the Radiohead site this morning to see what all the fuss was about and decided to buy the album. For the uninitiated, they’re basically offering it on a ‘pay what you like basis’. Had i wanted to i could have clicked the button and got the album for free. Yet, by going direct to the artist’s site for the download and knowing that there won’t be any record label types getting their sticky hands on my money i was more than happy to part with my hard earned cash. I think this is a great idea and hope it makes a much needed impact on the way that music is being sold.
Incidentally, the record is (in my opinion) fantastic. Some classic Radiohead melodies in there and a collection of songs that i’m looking forward to getting to know. I’ve only listened to it once to far, but don’t feel disappointed in my latest purchase at all!
