Is anybody actually going to pay anything for it? People still pay for music? Yes because it's ripping good artists and bands off if you don't. That's what pisses me off anyway. I have to agree. Artists get fucked up the arse enough by their record labels without the fans ripping them off. £40 though for the boxed edition?? Fuck that, anyone know a good torrent site?  |

How anyone can like radiohead is beyond me. Its suicide music. art is subjective. you must have suicidal tendencies. Is anybody actually going to pay anything for it? People still pay for music? Yes because it's ripping good artists and bands off if you don't. That's what pisses me off anyway. I have to agree.

Fuck that, anyone know a good torrent site? you get loads of good stuff for forty dollar though, two heavyweight vinyls for a start, plus other stuff |

chubbs it makes no difference mate. labels get the same cut from hmv as they do from your local shop. its the deal that bands have with the labels thats important.
my deal is 50-50. cant see why it should be any other way.

I take my hat off to you. After all the shit that comes with releasing music and every man taking his percentage along the way, the artists are rarely left with anything, usually a huge debt from the initial advance, recording costs, etc. |

heavyweight vinyl costs about 2p more than normal vinyl so not that great a fucking deal.

average price paid for this so far: £4.72
income so far: £1.3million
apparently.
so that's, what, about 250,000 downloads?
