The Future of Music Sales: I bought Radiohead In Rainbows
For the first time in a very long time I purchased an album that wasn’t some rare Coltrane performance or a gift for someone else. Radiohead is totally cutting edge for releasing a ‘choose the worth’ album like this.
In Rainbows doesn’t dissapoint if you like these guys… it’s another Radiohead album and it lives up to their discography.

I bought the album for $1 in order to sample it… since I like it I am going to buy it again for a friend and pay somewhere between $5 and $10.
I hate the RIAA , all of their flying monkeys and other their other sub-conglomerations… which is strange because I’m a liberal in almost all aspects of life, but fiscally I’m a conservative… I’m what you might call a “business hippie” but when it comes to music I’m all about the art form and quality, which the major record companies obviously aren’t.
Cheers to Radiohead, fuck you to the RIAA labels and hell yes to the artists that follow similar models.
Even if there is a minimum price ($2.50 per album might be acceptable since it’s widely known that bands make less than $2 per CD sale in most cases) this is still an awesome model for music sales. $.99 per song is a rip off, and so is $8+ for a full album.
anyway… this is nothing formal… just a quickie to mention that the future is here, sort of.
bye bye
