get over yourself radiohead...

...your last album is worth about six bucks. ouch.

don't get me wrong. i like in rainbows. but $80 is a bit steep for the whole enchilada, no? similarly, ten to fifteen bucks for a milquetoast selection of some low bitrate crap from the itunes music store with DRM isn't exactly appealing. then again, i could always drop twelve to eighteen at a good old fashioned record store-record store, and redistribute as i see fit--but then i have the distinct displeasure that is fueling a record labels greed instead of compensating the responsible creative parties...no thanks. the music industry is so incredibly fucked.

free. it's been done before. it is a good thing.

embracing the evolution of a culture, and of the music industry is smart. the inevitable shift to a more effective and consumer driven distribution method is clearly in progress.

the latest in this us-versus-them is Saul Williams' the inevitable rise and liberation of niggy tardust. i think it's quite good...and i like the way it's been released.
