Oh yeah...... the price is left up to you, the consumer. ... . . . . . . . Fuckin Radiohead. Im probably going to dish out the 80 bucks for the "Special edition." Figures, since i just went off in the video game thread about how stupid special editions are :-P

[The BYP]

brilliant marketing, This will be their best seller.

I read that article Ed, and the take I am getting is that you ARE able to buy it on CD, as well. Maybe I'm just reading it wrong. Then again, I won't be buying it, so it doesn't matter to me much.

"The album, helmed by longtime Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, is available in two versions via the band's new, rainbow-y site: as a standard download or as a deluxe edition that comes with Rainbows on both CD and vinyl, plus a second disc of new songs and a lyric book."

EDIT: I may be misreading Ed's comment. Too lazy to delete the whole comment. Carry on....

If you buy the box set you will get the album on CD (as well as the download on october 10.) The box set wont come out untill december. But you cant just buy the New CD by itself, that is only available by download, at a price you decide. YOu should at least download it taco! Its free music from one of the best bands ever!!!

[PeggyLove]

Ed, I love your enthusiasm!

[the deta]

Ed, I love your enthusiasm!

Yes i am indeed geeked about this. I have heard most of these new songs from last years tour so it will be interesting hearing the studio versions.

Well today is the day bitches! I just put in my order for the "discbox." It was 40 "Pounds" and by my calculations that works out to a measly 14 US dollars! What a deal!

Anyway i will be downloading the new album sometime today. Cant wait!!!!!

By my calculations it works out to around $81.35 USD.
The box set sounds nice but I'll probably just be paying 65 cents a song for it though.

:tipofthecap:

[the deta]

I think you are thinking of canadian dollars DJB.

[djb]

I think you are thinking of canadian dollars DJB.

Now you're just trying to mess with me because we all know that the Canadian dollar is just about even with the US dollar.

Todays exchange rate is 1 Pound = 2.03874 USD.

So 40 British Pounds is equal to $81.35

But if you insist, please buy two of them and I'll pay you $20.00 for one giving you a healthy $6.00 profit.

Bwahahaha deej. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Yeah, the weak dollar (or is it the strong pound?) sucks.

[Dr. P]

And Canadian dollars just equaled US currency last month, anyway...

[Franks n Beans]

I wonder if NiN will be doing this too!

[Verno]

I wonder if NiN will be doing this too!

What, fucin up the exchange rate so that they're paying 4x more than they thought?

[TheWagesofSin]

this thread sucks, I much preferred the "Rush" thread. That one was so bitchen


:poke:

[Franks n Beans]

I can't find the artice right now but they (Nine inch Nails) just dropped their record label and may be doing what radiohead is doing.

[djb]

I heard that today too on a tech podcast.

[the deta]

Werd up. Well i got the shiz today!

Radiohead rules!

[TheWagesofSin]

I just spent $42,000 on the new Coldplay album

[Franks n Beans]

Ah ha!! You got ripped off!!! lmao

[KungFuJesus]

http://i23.tinypic.com/xqckmf.jpg

[the deta]

Well i got the new tunes today. I am liking what i am hearing. It is odd though, seeing as i have heard all but 2 of these tracks before, thanks to them playing these tunes on the last tour. But its good to hear polished studio versions. But i must wonder what it would be like to truely be hearing them for the first time.

Oh yeah i know this isnt the beer thread but i found the negra modelo down at the market so i have had a few tonight. :thumbsup:

[The Sav]

I just spent $42,000 on the new Coldplay album

But how much did it cost you in Limey dollars? 100,000? If so, then you got a fucing good deal. :thumbsup:

[the deta]

So am i only the only mo'fo who got this shit? I must say i am playing the death out of this record. I love it. So far my favorite track is Faust Arp, which really reminds me of a beatles tune.

But i guess there is noone else here to discuss the album with :-(

Someone should go get it, hell you name the price! Come on people expand your music library!

[Dr. P]

Is it really good? I hate U2, and the "Creep" song was fine until he carroon/whined like Bonno, and that's all I know aboot Radiohead except for they fucking ripped you off. I'll give 'em a listen, though if it's easy enough.

[the deta]

lmao lmao

Dude, you can pay 50 cents or pence or what ever the fuck you want for the album. Is it worth that? HELL YEAH. Granted i am biased as hell in the sence that they are one of my favs. But it is a damn good album IMO. There is some really beautiful music on there.

[mysticllama]

I like the remake of Creep that Kidneythieves did - and I like the song Radiohead by the Talking Heads. Are they anything like the Talking heads?

[KungFuJesus]

I've got Paranoid Android as my main ringtone and that's about as much a radiohead fan as I get.

[the deta]

This is a very subdued record. It is very "dreamy." Lots of strings, not much heavy guitar and yes some of that falsetto carooning that russy mentioned. It is not really rocking or heavy. Its very moody. Not very Talking Head-ish.

[the deta]

I've got Paranoid Android as my main ringtone and that's about as much a radiohead fan as I get.

Thats a great tune. If you take the strings part from that tune... that is very much what the new album sounds like.

[mysticllama]

Falsetto crooning may be OK if it's like, Morrissey-type stuff.

[TheWagesofSin]

[mysticllama]

OK, I tossed 'em some money and I'll give it a listen =)

[the deta]

Right on Llama! I hope you like it. :-)

[mysticllama]

The first song has the 'excessive vocal vamping' (as Pandora would put it) that I like so it's pretty nifty so far.

[mysticllama]

Like Morrissey, kinda, KFJ. Some of the stuff on my Pandora station(s) that have that 'quality' are Lords of Acid, Rasputina, The Pixies, Siouxsie and the Banshee, etc. It's like, excessive emoting, I guess.

Your beef is with Pandora, not me!

Looky herey (quoted from Pandora):

It's not THAT kind of EMOting.

[djb]

I plan on getting InRainbows soon. Just been too busy. I'll pay $6.00 (USD or around 3 Pounds) for the MP3 downloads.

There's a lot of Radiohead that I like alot and a some not so much.

Everything In It's Right Place is one of me favs. I'm not sure why but it's a great song for unwinding at the end of a super busy week where alot was accomplished. Not so much for the lyrics but the feel of the song just seems hauntingly appropriate and conveys a nice sense of closure.

[Dr. P]

OK, I tossed 'em some money and I'll give it a listen =)

Oh Go, WTF!? You didn't listen to it first? And still paid 'em with that deceptive exchange rate? Fuckin' Radiohead ripped you off!

:thumbsup: I actually feel that the first two tunes on the album dont really fit the rest of the albums feel, but i do like them. Especially the beat in 15 step.

[mysticllama]

15 step is probably my favorite song, because I think they made use of a really interesting beat to structure the song around. It reminds me of vodou drums when they're going in a really complex beat pattern. Jigsaw Falling into Place has some nice complexity to it as well (and the bass in some spots reminds me of Kiss Off by the Violent Femmes, which is a Good Thing(TM) in my little world).

Finishing up listening to it this morning - as djb said about a previous Radiohead album, this is a nice one for unwinding to. I'll never see the name Radiohead and not think of the Talking Heads song though. ;)

[the deta]

Right on Llama! As i mentioned in an earlier post, Faust Arp is my favorite on the album, and then probably Reckoner. I love the strings in and vocals in reckenor...... F'ing beautiful!

[the deta]

well lama, its been a couple days. What do you think? Have youlistened to it more have you disregarded it and moved on?

[mysticllama]

Music is like drugs to me, I have to fit the music with the mood I'm in/want to be in. I haven't really had opportunity to listen to any relaxing music. Maybe tonight I'll give it another listen =)

[TheWagesofSin]

Ed, did you get those other CDs yet?

[the deta]

nope i believed they are to be shipped on dec 3rd.


Christ i hope they aren't going by the Limey calendar.

You're fucked if they are. The mail shuts down here over Christmas, which is tomorrow.

Christmas is tomorrow? Fuc Ed, they may have meant next Dec. 3. Thankfully that's in 2 weeks for them.

[the deta]

Thank christ!

Whats the take on this over lee? Anyone give a shit about this move to release it with no price on the net, does radiohead get much press over there? SO many people in the states have never heard of them.

It's a big deal alright, Ed. Lots of coverage from pretty much every daily newspaper, & the broadsheets had a load of column inches discussing whether this is the end of the cd & record shops as we know them.

Radiohead are still massive here, despite having done everything possible to drive away the mainstream listeners since OK Computer. And even THAT was less mainstream than The Bends. I'm not a huge Radiohead fan, but you've got to respect them for sticking to their guns & making the music they want to make.

Mo doesn't get surprised by anything these days. That nigga's unsurprisable.

[the deta]

Well, i still havent gotten my discbox. :( Shit i havent even gotten an email saying my shit has shipped. I think it was Demiurge and i who had the discussion about whether this was a genuine cool move by the band or just a giant PR move.... well i have now switched to the side of demiurge. This whole thing has become a fuckin joke. Here is a post i made on the radiohead board after receiving a bullshit attomated responce from the company distributing the box, W.A.S.T.E. (radioheads own merchandising company.)


Well i got the same email. What a joke. They really dropped the ball with this. Maybe they meant December 20th, 2008. Nice to know that once i finally recieve my dispatch email i'll still have another 2-3 weeks wait before i get it. Horrible business practice. I would much rather see a DAS post apologizing to everyone who spent their money on the discbox expecting to get it when it was "RELEASED" than some pompous "Here's what you (our fans) should do to save the earth when you come to see us on tour" BS post. This is egg on radioheads face in my book. I would have much rather they released it in the "normal" "big Label" sort of way. This is utter bullshit. As i mentioned in a previous thread, this whole groundbreaking move by radiohead, a slap to the face of record labels and the music industry as a whole, is now looking like it was nothing more than one giant publicity stunt under the guise of rebellion.

Glad you are enjoying it. They may not know how to ship shit properly but they make some good tunes.

Shit speaking of getting lost, i was lost the first 1.5 hours of the trip. What a mess, country dead ending with nowhere to turn around.

Honestly though, Its nuts being back in a super populated area, i actually don't like it. I went to go out to eat and EVERYplace was packed. And packed with asian and indians. I don't know whats going on here but I am a minority here. Asains and Indians everywhere. I was in a CVS and there was an anouncment in chinese or some shit.

I don't know much about tornadoes and I certainly don't know anything about bikes but wouldn't that make for an outstanding wheelie??

[the deta]

Well i just returned from the show. It was awesome, as expected. It never stopped raining, luckily i was under the roof of the pavilion. However the road i took to get there flooded so i had to take an alternate route. All in all an outstanding show, the band was right on, except for one song where Thom Yorke stopped mid verse and craacked up, who knows at what. But the picked up where they left off, and he cracked up again. Then they restarted and it went well. It was cool to see thom not all cranky and down.

The lights were fantastic and come in second as best light show ever to NIN's lightshow on the "With Teeth" tour.

[TheWagesofSin]

Is the lighting important from a weed-smoking perspective? And how much did you "blaze" during the show?

[the deta]

Wasn't much lightning Wage, at least that i could see being under the roof.

I blazed a one single doob over the course of the show.

Hey, Ed... that's some depressing tunery. If I lived alone in a remote mountain and kept having cookery stolen from my balcony, and smoked a lot of Feck weed, I'd maybe consider listening to a LOT of Starland Vocal Band and maybe some ABBA. Lift yer spirits a little.

Cool videya though.
