Radiohead

Right now I'm listening to my brand new Radiohead album, entitled In Rainbows. To be honest, I've never listened to this band before, but they caught my attention with a pretty revolutionary marketing ploy. You get to name your own price and download the DRM-free tracks from their website. I decided to pay $10, but you could theoretically get it for free if you wanted. Although $10 is not much for a whole album, I think it's fair because I am taking a risk on this band. The truth is that I would never have bought it at all if it weren't for the promotion.

How did I find out about this? My daily dose of NPR clued me in. I was convinced to purchase the album once the reporter remarked at the deep musical layers and complex textures of each song.

So far I like the music quite a bit. I can't do a full review because I'm only on the fifth track. Still, "Videotape" and "Reckoner" were nice sounding. Very laid back.
