Radiohead, new album - IN RAINBOWS!!
If you like Radiohead then you're luck is in, my friends! They've just sneakily announced official details of their new record (entitled 'In Rainbows') which comes out as a digital download in ten, yes that's TEN DAYS TIME (10th October)!!
Check http://www.radiohead.com if you don't believe me. Tracklist for the digital download (10th October) is - 15 STEP BODYSNATCHERS NUDE WEIRD FISHES/ARPEGGI ALL I NEED FAUST ARP RECKONER HOUSE OF CARDS JIGSAW FALLING INTO PLACE VIDEOTAPE This can be pre-ordered on the site. You can also pre-order the physical release (CD/vinyl) which comes out in December. This includes the tracks above on CD1 plus - CD2 MK 1 DOWN IS THE NEW UP GO SLOWLY MK 2 LAST FLOWERS UP ON THE LADDER BANGERS AND MASH 4 MINUTE WARNING This is a sort of enhanced EP with digital artwork on it. You can pre-order the physical release from Radiohead's site (in a special boxset that also includes 2 vinyl discs!), or just the digital release which you'll be able to download on 10th October. This is such major news, coming out with this just ten days before it's released! It's so much to take in I want to scream with happiness!!! Radiohead prove once again how insanely wonderful they are. ![]()

It has certainly been a very exciting morning - I wonder how this will change the face of music publishing?

Have you noticed the prices?
Discbox = £40 Download = £ it's up to you So you choose the price for the digital download yourself. You could buy the album for 1p if you want. Certainly an interesting way of doing it .

As people are paying for this in advance, my bet is it will be a high-quality VBR MP3. |

A standardised codec like AAC would be nice. As long as it has no DRM (I doubt it will) and isn't proprietary (I can live with MP3 though) I don't mind.

I'm expecting something like 192kbps mp3 files for the download, nothing more than that. After all, it's FREE! Details will be coming in the next few days I imagine.
You've got to applaud them for doing this. They KNOW loads of people would be downloading it for free anyway, so why shouldn't they take charge of it themselves? My guess is that they've had difficulty coming up with a good new deal with EMI so they've taken matters into their own hands. We have heard March as a rumoured release time for the CD, maybe that's when it will be put out on the EMI label, with singles etc. That's just for the plebs though, for the real fans the time is NOW! |

Well that's a big two fingers to the record company. The band are taking a big risk, allowing the public to decide how much to buy the album for, although I imagine quite a few will be tempted to buy the lavish box set and the band are no doubt aware of the appeal of limited edition packaging (the library book design for "Amnesiac" and the fold-out map on "Hail To the Thief" for example.)
I just hope we get some good songs and not too much sonic experimentation. |

This is amazing news, totally out of the blue. And to think just yesterday everyone was thinking it wouldn't be out until next March!

I hope they sort out their website before the 10th though, seems to be very slow at the moment. Struggling under all of the increased traffic.

Roll on October 10th! You'd have to pay me to buy or download anything by them. Worst group ever.
