awesome

i'm not really very up-to-date with radiohead (used to be really into them around kid a) - so forgive me if it's obvious

 

but are they not on a label anymore? if so, that's awesome. i bet they sell as many copies just through their own site as they would with parlaphone or whatever.

I think it is indeed really clever. I'm impressed really..

[eugene 36]

yep, that's how it supposed to work..but it requires a lot of popularity i guess.

also very cool of them to announce a release just 10 days before..none of this ~8 month waiting shit or whatever.

i actually thought they'll just release the album for free on their website..but i guess they aren't rich enough yet..next time maybe.

 

fuck me, they actually did it..

those will be worth a lot on ebay soon..

[leafs 9]

it makes sense doesn't it? they're still pretty huge - they've got enough profile to pull this off i think. they won't need even to advertise it at all - just announce it on their site and let the internet do the rest. zero cost on advertising or any middle-man type stuff... just making an album and then pressing it themselves. nice one!

 

i wonder what it's like though... i have about 2 weeks in every year where i get really back into radiohead and then i don't listen to them at all.

[playbynumbers 8]

wow

[Guest Rook]

wait, so I either download this free off their internet, or pay 80 smacks for the box set?

 

 

 

 

btw, whats their website?

[playbynumbers 8]

ordered ... it's odd that they aren't releasing a stripped-down cd version as well. i mean, literally the only version that you can buy is the $80 cd/vinyl thing

[Braintree 1970]

I'll give them a few bucks for it.

[playbynumbers 8]

also this is 99% profit for them, i mean, no advertising (as ieafs said), no middleman, no record execs getting a huge cut ...

 

this actually crossed my mind re: analord. i remember reading somewhere that rdj sold five figures of each 12" ... so 12 x $10 x 10,000, at the very least, would be $1,200,000, almost none of which went to overhead or an advertising budget, etc

[Guest philia]

just ordered the £ 40 set.

the set seems to be just for rh nerds who wouldn't mind paying that much anyway. i personally think the donations thing for the album download is a really cool idea.

[Mellow U 55]

[Guest nene multiple assgasms]

I bet it gets a generally available cd release. it would be stupid not to, since there are plenty of relatively casual fans who would buy it.

[Guest Ominous]

genius

[GORDO 0]

well i am officially not a cheap bastard anymore.

[GORDO 0]

nevermind... my credit card wont buy stuff online. phew!

[mononomo 1]

are there any good bootlegs floating around of the newer stuff?

[playbynumbers 8]

only crappy old bootlegs ... just wait 9 days, lol

 

 

also i love the pitchfork headline (which is where i first heard about this):

 

NEW RADIOHEAD ALBUM AAAAAAAHHH!!!

 

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

[Key 73]

Ordered.

 

Thats a pretty much perfect track listing as well, none of my favorite songs from the bootlegs have been omitted. I wasn't expecting Last Flowers to make an appearance.

[Franciscus 2]

ordering it tonight, when I have my creditcard.

 

i saw these guys live last year in Amsterdam... and it was AWESOME. :) and this is a good way to sell their stuff.

[Guest bitroast]

i was never a fan of house of cards, but having a second cd come out with those outtakes makes me not worry.

 

with them releasing something of such awesomeness. potentially free album, and the awesome box set, i feel kinda greedy asking this, but wheres open pick?

Ateaseweb forum suggests that Open Pick has been retitled to 'Jigsaw Falling In To Place'. Apparently thats a line from the lyrics.
