RadioHEAD releasing new album in 10 days!


Ten days from today, October 10th, Radiohead is releasing a brand new album. This might come as a surprise to most, probably because it was just announced. I got the scope from another blog late last night.

In the bands own words they say,

"Hello everyone. Well, the new album is finished, and it's coming out in 10 days; We've called it In Rainbows.

Love from us all.
Jonny"


Ok, so by doing this they avoid having the album leaked, right? Sure seems that way. On the 10th you can download the album, ONLY from their site. What they call the "disk box" wont be shipped until December. What does the disk box consist of?

NEW ALBUM, IN RAINBOWS, ON CD
AND ON 2 X 12 INCH HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL RECORDS.
A SECOND, ENHANCED CD CONTAINS MORE NEW SONGS, ALONG WITH DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHS AND ARTWORK.
THE DISCBOX ALSO INCLUDES ARTWORK AND LYRIC BOOKLETS.
ALL ARE ENCASED IN A HARDBACK BOOK AND SLIPCASE.

The disk box features a second disk in addition to what you would get via the download. If you're that much of a fan, you can purchase the extras in December for about 80 bucks! Best part about this whole release is the cost of the download is up to you! Seriously, you can pay any amount that you want greater than $0.00!

Radiohead is a great band so I'm real excited for this release, I also love how they're using the net to get their music out quicker and to a wider range of fans. Hopefully the album is as good as I expect it will be.
