Radiohead, a Brit-alt band firmly rooted in my later adolescence, has released an album today which they have offered for download on their website. It's price is determined by the patron; anywhere from free to... well I suppose you could pay them quite a bit if you chose to. They have exhorted listeners to pay them what it's worth to them... or what they can afford depending on the source.
Radiohead have always been rebels of the industry, strong supporters of the original, free Napster, and many say they may have changed the way the industry works for good with this offer. Of course, some change-over to digital accomodations has been inevitable for some time. I guess I'm just happy Radiohead was able to inflict it.
Incidentally, the album seems very solid. I paid 2 pounds.
