Radiohead’s new album, In Rainbows, is coming out on October 10th.
You can buy a “discbox” of the album via their website for about $81 that’ll include two CDs, two vinyl records, artwork, and a digital download.
Or, get this, you can download just the tracks for whatever price you want. Seriously. You just type it in (see screenshot). So awesome.
This reminds us of that one Marx qoutation: “…after labor has become not only a means of life but life’s prime want; …only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be crossed in its entirety and society inscribe on its banners: From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs!”
We seriously hope making great music is their life’s prime want and we’ll happily pay for the download.
Buy (or just take) the album here.

I think it is great what Radiohead is doing. The music industry is obviously changing and everyone is going to have to adapt. And once again the band proves they are pioneers. Our business editor, Richard, and our Tech writer Robert, at the MOLI View wrote about the possible affects on everyone.
