Like any self-respecting 30-something, I downloaded Radiohead's new album yesterday. I decided to pay 5 pounds, and the truth is that I felt good about the transaction.
Certainly, the music industry is not dead-- as Radiohead's popularity was driven in part by the label that released every album up until now. But this shows the way for enterprising new and old bands to deal directly with their fans. And the music is not that bad either.
I would really, really, like to see some other bands do this.
