Radiohead defies music industry


Radiohead defies music industry with pay-what-you-want album release

Whether you like their music or not, it's hard to deny that Radiohead has been a trailblazing band of their generation. After releasing six albums on a major label, the group is now making history by cutting out all the music industry middlemen. Their seventh album, In Rainbows, will be available for download directly from the band. Most incredibly, the price of the album is up to you. Whether you choose to pay one cent or one hundred dollars, you will be able to download the album when it comes out on Oct. 10th, directly from their website.

Eager musicians and nervous industry executives will be watching to see what happens, but early buzz suggests there is a lot of excitement over the offer.
