NEW RADIOHEAD ALBUM AAAAAAAHHH!!!
TODAY IS A GREAT DAY!
First, the Phillies clinched the NL East for the first time in 14 years! YESSSS!!!
AND NOW THIS!!!
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.

Yup, that's right. A new Radiohead album, out October 10! Nice surprise, huh? It's called In Rainbows, duh. And it appears that Radiohead have chosen to not sign with a record label and are releasing it themselves via their website, at least for now.
And that's probably the least crazy aspect of this whole thing.
You can pre-order it from their website right now as a download or a "discbox." What's a discbox? Why, it's pretty sweet:
"THIS CONSISTS OF THE NEW ALBUM, IN RAINBOWS, ON CD AND ON 2 X 12 INCH HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL RECORDS.
A SECOND, ENHANCED CD CONTAINS MORE NEW SONGS, ALONG WITH DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHS AND ARTWORK.
THE DISCBOX ALSO INCLUDES ARTWORK AND LYRIC BOOKLETS.
ALL ARE ENCASED IN A HARDBACK BOOK AND SLIPCASE.
THE ALBUM DOWNLOAD AUTOMATICALLY COMES WITH THIS PACK."
Daamn, that's awesome! And even though the discbox doesn't ship until "on or before" December 3, you can get the download starting October 10.
But what's the catch? It costs £40.00 including postage-- no matter where you live in the world. Which for us Yanks means about $81.00. Of course, this is Radiohead we're talking about, so money is no object, right? Right.
And lest you think Radiohead are ripping their fans off, check this out: If you order the download only, you can pay HOWEVER MUCH MONEY YOU WANT for it. Like, there's no set price. Like, I just paid eight bucks for the new Radiohead album. Maybe you can pay zero dollars?
Check out the tracklist:
CD one and vinyl:
01 15 STEP
02 BODYSNATCHERS
03 NUDE
04 WEIRD FISHES/ARPEGGI
05 ALL I NEED
06 FAUST ARP

08 HOUSE OF CARDS
09 JIGSAW FALLING INTO PLACE

02 DOWN IS THE NEW UP
03 GO SLOWLY
04 MK 2
05 LAST FLOWERS
06 UP ON THE LADDER
07 BANGERS AND MASH
08 4 MINUTE WARNING
So yeah, lots of stuff that we expected.
"Haha, the entire record industry is so fucked!"
