In Rainbows
The big music news on this first day of October has to be this, right? Or maybe this:As expected, Radiohead has gone an unusual route for distribution of its seventh studio album, "In Rainbows." The set will be available for digital download from the band's Web site beginning Oct. 10, but with a twist -- fans can name their own price for the purchase. "It's up to you," reads a disclaimer on the checkout screen.
Very interesting. Plenty of options beyond the digital download as well:"In Rainbows" will also be sold in a "discbox," which will feature the new album on CD and double-vinyl, as well as a second disc with seven additional songs, photos, artwork and lyrics. The materials will be encased in a hardback book and slipcase.
At £40 ($81.18), that one is for the hardcore Radioheaders. I'll settle for the digital download at a price of my choosing!Here is the track list for "In Rainbows":
