im not a big fan or anything (in fact thom yorke kinda pisses me off with his crazy looks) but theyre releasing a new album, called 'in rainbows'.
first in digital format (mp3s that is) wich you can download from here and you only pay for it as much as you would like to (according to some articles you can buy it for half pound).
thats pretty cool. i might buy it.
and theyll be selling it in a big package as well, wich has the cd version, double vinyl version and some artwork in it - thats for 40 GBP.
i think jonny (or whoever it is) just posted this on some blog not long ago.
it seems to be true just check www.inrainbows.com

crazy guys. 40£ eh....damn.

I heard this was a joke, that the album would in fact be released on March 2008... ???

Gigantic lying Radiohead

Radiohead were the victims of a hoax at the weekend, with a website about their album linking to a Rick Astley video.

Fans began speculating last week that radioheadlp7.com would have information about their new album, rumoured to be out on March 24 next year.

But a countdown on the site that ended on Saturday said it was "the most gigantic lying hoax of all time" and linked to Never Gonna Give You Up.

In the words of cs_sn1p3r94, Rick Roll'd!

Dunno, if that's really a "joke" but with people gaining money "exploiting" radiohead's name I think the band/bands' entourage (pretty well aware of the internet world) would have had that site closed down in a minute.... or am I wrong?

it was posted on legit radiohead sites (by band members) - and also just check out the links!

(actually it was posted on this site wich is an official radiohead site)

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

[musefreek]

[nicfit]

well, 2 vinyls, 2 cds, books, digital download included (wonder if it will be in flac).... gotta go for the 40£ stuff, dammmmn....

[pbradley]

I just want to get this before they start releasing it on a label.

[EvdWee]

ordered it. twice.

i think this is one of the most wonderful way of releasing a record. fuck these companies.

[PAULYBEE2656]

respect to radiohead and their clever marketing techniques.

Let's see if I have some spare change in my pockets....

[_slavo_]

I want to get a proper record, not some lame digital stuff.

[StevOK]

Hopefully their self release will start a revolution or independent music releases. Down with record companies!
