10 Days. Radiohead’s new album hit the stores (well their online store only) and it’s called In Rainbows. Although of many reports that news of their new album was a hoax, their website, radiohead.com and their blog, Dead Air Space, has links to buy the new album. I’ll probably preorder the album as they have quickly become one my favorite bands. Live and in studio they have some of the strongest performances

In an interesting turn is how the album is sold. From the In Rainbows website there are two ways to buy the album:

Download price is “Up to you” meaning you set the price, I would guess to make you think about what the music is worth to you. Interesting concept that could only be thought of by the creative and innovative Radiohead. The second way is…
