Radiohead announces new album, pay what you want->

Evdawg writes "Radiohead left a surprise announcement on their blog this morning, announcing the release of their new album "In Rainbows". Unsigned to a record label, they are distributing the album via digital downloads starting October 10th. What's interesting is that the consumer chooses the price they pay for the album, $0.00 being an acceptable value. This is the distribution format that consumers have been wanting for years. Will it work out for Radiohead?"

radicalskeptic writes "Radiohead, a band known to be unhappy with other music download services, has decided to release their next album, "In Rainbows", in two formats: a £40 boxed set and a digital download. What's the catch? Customers who purchase the digital download are able to name their own price for the album. This is the first Radiohead release since their contract with EMI expired. As "The Majors" continue to lose relevance, can we expect more of this type of experimentation and flexibility from independent artists?"
