Radiohead - In Rainbows (New Album out October 10th)


Here's the deal...I had heard that Radiohead's new album was close to being finished. I also knew that they were currently without a record deal for said album. There has also been some weird stuff about them on the Internet last week. First there was this, which is some crypted message posted on their website. Then this and this, apparently a new website about their 7th album which ended up being someones big joke. Finally, straight from their official website is this message:


Hello everyone.Well, the new album is finished, and it's coming out in 10 days;We've called it In Rainbows. Love from us all.Jonny


You can now preorder the album here. The oddest part is you can preorder a download of it now and name your own price. That's right...you can choose how much you want to pay for the download of it. You will be sent an email code that you can use on the 10th to get the mp3's of the new record. If you want to get the cd's of it you will have to pay quite a bit (40 pounds...which I think works out to be over $80 American dollars) and they will not be shipped until December. If you get the cd's though you will get the downloads on the 10th of October as well. Here is what comes with the "discbox":
THIS CONSISTS OF THE NEW ALBUM, IN RAINBOWS, ON CD AND ON 2 X 12 INCH HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL RECORDS.A SECOND, ENHANCED CD CONTAINS MORE NEW SONGS, ALONG WITH DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHS AND ARTWORK.THE DISCBOX ALSO INCLUDES ARTWORK AND LYRIC BOOKLETS.ALL ARE ENCASED IN A HARDBACK BOOK AND SLIPCASE.THE ALBUM DOWNLOAD AUTOMATICALLY COMES WITH THIS PACK
So....get to it!!!!
