Post Something:

Radiohead Hates Us

vegetarianxorgasm Oct 01, 2007

So I was happy to see something about Radiohead in Aversion's news today...

Until I actually read the article:

"Radiohead's put the final touches on its album and will self-release it digitally starting Oct. 10.

As of now, the only place you can get a copy of Radiohead's In Rainbows is through the act's official site, according to a blog post made by guitarist Johnny Greenwood on the act's site. The album, which was in the works for months, arrives on Radiohead's digital servers for fans to download Oct. 10.

A second option allows fans to get their hands on a physical "discbox" copy, which includes not only a CD version of the album, but In Rainbows on two heavyweight vinyl pressings, assorted liner notes and artwork all bound up in a hardback binding. The only down side? It'll set you back $81.75, shipping included, barring the dollar doesn't devalue any further before you order it. Physical copies will begin shipping on or before Dec. 3." -Averison Daily News.

A couple things wrong with this: the first one, and the most obvious...*ahem*...EIGHTY FUCKING DOLLARS FOR A VINYL RECORD!!!??? That is a far cry from the original prices of a vinyl, not to mention the inflated costs of CD's today even. And if it has to do with a the extra little ditties they included in packaging....why is it there? I thought Radiohead was a little less commercial than that. Just give me the music and that's enough...especially since it's Radiohead (they're a mind trip).

The other thing that struck me as odd was the whole "releasing it online". Not everyone has a computer or, (like my current situation) a computer that doesn't crash at the sight of a download.

So Radiohead gave us an altamatum...: be digital or pay us your shit. This is something I would never see Radiohead pulling off, especially since it's self released....but whatever. I guess I'll just shut up and deal and let the Karma Police take care of them.
