Radiohead Rainbows

Radiohead, probably one of the greatest bands of all time and definitely of our time, is releasing it's long awaited new album on Wednesday in a unique way: you get to pick the price of the album.

The Chicago Tribune puts it this way:

"How much is a CD worth to you, and, bigger picture, how much is the effort musicians put into making a CD worth? Those provocative questions -- a direct challenge to the evolving Internet and cultural norm of treating music as a free commodity -- are posed by Radiohead, the critically-acclaimed English band, in making its new disc, "In Rainbows," available for download Oct. 10 at whatever price you want to pay."

Radiohead, on their website, puts it in their typical minimalist way:

"Radiohead have made a record. So far, it is only available from this website. You can pre-order it in these formats: Discbox and download. Continue."

You can purchase it now, but won't get the link for the download until Oct. 10th via email.

So get things in order, put "everything in its right place", and pre-order it.
