Well, fair play to Radiohead. I heard about what they were up to a few days back and it brought a smile to my face. It’s common knowledge now that Thom and his team have put their new album “In Rainbows” up online for digital download at whatever price you’d like to pay for it. This is really gonna shake up the music industry, they’ve made a very important statement here. You can pre-order a vinyl (with cd) boxset for £40 also and you get the digital download for free. But the real action is with the download itself, costing whatever you can afford, or want, to pay for it.

I’ve not yet heard it myself but will get it soon. But for now I say; “hats off to Radiohead”

More info on the album is on a Wiki page here.

Nialler9 does a good 1st impressions review here.

Hicksdesign have some ideas for cover art for the digital version here.

A web survey that’s asks how much you paid for the album is here.

[edit] 13.10.07 – now that i’ve got to listen to it a few times; well, i like it. a lot. aptly for me, the track ‘Videotape’ is one of my favs, as is “House Of Cards”.

I have put up a rough promo for the documentary currently in production about the debate surrounding the Tara valley and the M3 motorway. For more information see the campaign site Save Tara.

Watch it in full quality with DivX here.

{EDIT : I have taken down the Flash version from Dailymotion while production is in process. You can still use the link above which will take you to where all the Tara project information and media will live}
