Comment Disappointed at Radiohead (Score 1) 811

I'm excited to see what will happen as music's means of distribution are altered. There's a chance that this can lead to a real revival of the single, as against the album, which would be great. Too many artists treat the 45 (dammit I'm not letting go of vinyl yet) as soundtracks to video promos for their album and tour, where they screw you for the real money. If this makes people make artists produce better, more interesting singles, and allows single tracks to spread through channels that aren't in thrall to (say) ClearChannel, then go! go! the new shape of music sales.
Good pop can do without being burdened with the late 60s notion of an album's importance and integrity, while real album artists (Radiohead et al.) will still be loved for their LPs.
